Confused by WTM 3-straps

[HarryCarry]

Would a WTM owner please let me know how you use the straps? It looks like you would have to take the shoulder strap off to attach the messenger strap. How easy is that? I really want to use the WTM as a shoulder bag/messenger bag and switching back and forth sounds cumbersome.
Thanks!!

I don't have a WTM, but I do have a TME and MMS, and on each bag there are leather tabs that you attach the messenger strap to. You never take the shoulder straps off. Hope this helps.

Hey Harrycarry!!

I am a proud owner of a black glossy WTM midi and yes if you want to wear the bag messenger style, you just slip the single shoulder strap off the silver rings and then slide on the messenger strap. Very easy process and takes seconds. It's great 'cos you can wear this bag three different ways to suit your lifestyle!!

Thanks, TG and kel28! I was thinking I would sit out on the Bespoke Bliss, but I have been wanting a messenger bag for ages!

Now if only I can decide on a color...glossy navy, glossy brown, apple green? Did someone say fuschia?

I have the WTM too -yes the Messenger and Shoulder straps come right off - look at the rings that attach them to your bag - there are rings that open up so you can slip the strap right off - I just keep the shoulder strap on mine, but not the messenger as I don't think I'll really use that one at all.

Hey HarryCarry!!!! I've got 3 WTM's and they're by far my favourite of the season. Gorgeous design.

Kel gave you some excellent advice.....no worries to slip the existing strap off and attach the messenger

In terms of colour......hmmmm.......for the WTM??? Sky's the limit! Depends if you want to play it safe (neutral) or walk on the wild side (colour)

My Fave POP! of colour: Fuschia
My Fave year 'round colour: Petrol

My Fave Neutral: Dark Grey

I'm thinking of a WTM...is it okay as a shoulder bag or better messenger? I want it mostly as a shoulder bag.

Now I'm confused. Please educate me.
The WTM comes with it's handheld straps.
Then it has a messenger strap, AND a shoulder strap?
Please advise.

^^Yes, the messenger strap and shoulder strap are detachable (clips on & off), so you can use either. But the double hand-held handles have a long enough drop to fit over your shoulder.

^^Love your snappy red Angel Purse MissMary! It just cheers me up! And LOVE the kitty too.

Thanks for your answer about the straps.

Thank you!!! Cheers me up too, everytime I look at it! BTW -- the messenger strap is 7/8" wide, it does seem a little thin when you're wearing it. The shoulder strap is 1-3/8" wide and slightly padded.

Hi TG - the hand held is permanent and there are the two "optional" straps that also ship with the bags: Messenger strap and Shoulder strap. I use the Shoulder strap a lot, but its nice to be able to just grab the hand held straps and carry the bag or put it on the crook of the arm. Very convenient and easy.

MissMary - ditto on the kitty and AP - what color is the AP - Red or Fuchsia?
