Very pretty,
Thank you, I got the idea from someone else on this forum; so I used a bag charm and a piece of Hermes ribbon woven through it, just so it was a little less gold.
How to wear a Kelly casually?

What a great idea! I was wondering how you got that charm to be longer
I wonder if there is any way to get the belt version to work as a strap extender...
OK, I know this isn't an Hermes, so if this is totally inappropriate to post here - my apologies. But since I saw jyyanks post with the Minkoff guitar strap, I just wanted to share another example of a guitar strap on a structured top handle bag. I found this strap on Etsy and there are lots of options with the ability to coordinate with hardware color. One day I'll be posting here with my hg Kelly, but until then I love my vintage Ferragamo.
With a Kate Spade strap: https://m.katespade.com/products/mi...ks-strap-tassel-shop&dwvar_PXRU7850_color=098
Matches the Rouge Casaque really well.

I think I wear it pretty causally, love my pre-loved tri-color kelly 32 sellier. It is not as big as I had thought. Indeed cool and can handle it causally. I am only 5’1”.
Nicole, here is the solution I use to extend my Kelly and Bolide straps to make the bags cross body when I want that security and convenience when traveling. I like that I can use this on multiple bags and save the time and money of having new straps ordered from H. In addition to extenders Mautto makes straps of all kinds and the options for leathers and canvas and hardware are numerous. Also great customer service and they will do custom work. I have just ordered a canvas strap for my new to me Kelly which has GHW, a first as all my other bags are PHW. Can't get photo to load will try later, sorry.What a great idea!

Thank you very much for posting this. This looks like a such cost-effective and tasteful way to extend the strap, thank you for the reference. I have 2 Kellys that would be much more practical if they had the option to go cross body. Like you, I have a young son, and sometimes I need both hands free.
I ordered a long crossbody canvas strap for my vintage kelly, and I am tall and I really think the look is good and so much more casual than carrying it in the hand. A friend (who is quite petite) had a quite short canvas strap made and wears her kelly right under her arm, which is very cute on her, and also casual.
Loving everyone's looks - so inspiring and one of my most favourite threads - thank you! Here's my vintage K28 in vert fonce box. The strap is shorter because it's vintage and I can only manage due to being under 5' 
Thanks for letting me share.

My usual look - casual blue/white with my K.
I like your casual look, you matched it well with your kelly. May I know what color is your gorgeous ms K?

Another blue casual look.
