That's what I suspected it was.
Right? They weren't feeling very creative in the nomenclature department of Coach in the 80s

Always
I'll be happy to share custody with you. .. we can start a bag fostering agency
What I need is a strap-adoption agency! Someone to find straps that are at least 45 inches long to fit all those great bags that only came with shorter straps - Musettes, Pony Express Pouches/Amanda Flaps, Swags, even those gorgeous #12797 Bleecker Street Suede Haversacks.
That's why you have coordinating carriers to go with them
Is the Carrier strap longer? The catalogs only show a 3-inch difference. I like my straps LOOOOONG. I'm not tall but I'm "fluffy" and need the extra length. A 22-inch drop is the minimum depending on the width and shape of the bag.
I have 3 brown suede bags: classic pouch, Berkeley zip and Bleecker haversack. You got me thinking that I could do some strap swapping between them, but it turns out the strap on the haversack is attached on one side. Why do I need 3 brown suede bags? At least they are all from different decades.What I need is a strap-adoption agency!

That's like asking why you need three red bags. Some obsessions simply need no justification.
Someone needs to come up with buckle extensions, like they have dog-leash and other style clips that you can use to extend a strap with a clip.
It's way longer than that. .. I'll take some pics for you. I'm one inch taller than a hobbit and the Muse is too short for me. I have to put the carrier strap on the very first hole or it bangs into my knees

No. .. you just have to have Lulas in all colors. Those straps are the longest I've found. I use them on everything. A Janice strap works great on a rambler. It has rivets where the rambler doesn't but if it's length you're after
The Berkeley straps look great with couriers. I use my Berkeley Duffel strap on my 60s pebbly Courier and it's gorgeous and I get a crossbody to boot!

I need to learn to multi quote lol. .. the Haversacks are so gorgeous. I have green and Brown but the strap is an odd length and can't be switched out grr.
Could any of you lovely ladies authenticate these for me? Thanks!!

Good ideas on the straps. The Patricia's is an extra-long length too and I already have one of those. So I just have to find a nice, affordable red Musette.
Or King Solomon's Mines. Or the Holy Grail. Or strike oil in my back yard.
The first one looks ok.
The second is actually a Court bag, not a Willis, and we really need a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number to be sure it's authentic.
