Yeah, the small strap is rather long...and I'm a tall girl. Someone posted a few months ago about having her Pandora strap shortened. Perhaps you can look into that option? I believe she had it done directly through Givenchy.....but I'm sure a trusted cobbler could also help.I bought a small mineral blue Pandora and I'm disappointed to say that I don't love it, I like it but thought I would love it based on all of my research. It's very roomy and I like the color but the strap is too long. it's fine carrying it by the handle but I was looking forward to carrying it both ways.
