You know, I tried a black strap first and ironically it does not go well at all. The darker areas on the top and bottom corners are not black, they're actually navy. When you put the black strap on, it definitely shows that they are navy. The only real black areas are in some of the more detailed patches. In my opinion, not enough black to pull the black off well. Maybe I'll take a pic tomorrow with the black strap and post it. Right now, I'm happy with the flax. The only other color that I obviously would go would be orange, but I don't have a strap to match with that. Once again, I wish
Coach would sell straps (regular, not the statement thicker ones) individually. They'd make a killing!
