I think that these SA's make their own rules.

I asked for my jypsiere bag to have an extra hole as it was too long on me and one SA commented that for straps in all Hermes bags, they hesitate to lengthen/ shorten it, as usually the H creatives wouldnt want to change the symmetry of the bag. It might get distorted in the process. Maybe that is why they don't want us to have an adjustable strap?

I got the exactly same answer. but if your k has PHW, you could order an evelyne strap in the same colour as GHW evelynes are no longer being produced, my SA offered this too but my k has GHW.. So I've been holding off ordering a strap for a while...:(

I did ask for an Evelyn strap as an alternative and was told that the headquarter wouldn't do it because it would change the look of the bag... It does seem like the answers do vary from the headquarter or the SA...I guess it's worth a while to ask a different H store to order me a Everlyn strap then?

My local store put in an inquiry to the headquarter for a canvas strap for my K. The headquarter told us that they can only provide an non-adjustable (asked for an adjustable one) canvas strap that is the same length as the original Kelly strap (not long enough for cross body). Is this the usual answer you ladies get? I thought many have gotten longer straps, unless I am mistaken?? @@

In my experience they measure you with an adjustable strap tool to your preference- so you can choose a longer or shorter length.

That wasn't the answer I got. I was told it would be the same as my Kelly strap. Very frustrating when there is no consistency in their policy. You were lucky that you were given a choice.

That is unfortunate - does your store have a craftsman? Maybe they want to start limiting the amount of different options and stick to a certain length.

I did want to clarify that I have never been offered an adjustable option on straps - they are all measured to a particular length only.

You were very clear about the one-length, but it was your chosen length. Maybe the store manager misunderstood the headquarter. Maybe she just assumed it would be the same length and didn't realize it could be costume made?? I will go in and ask again. Thanks for sharing your experience! :)

For my favorite thread . . .

A quick pic of one of my Kellys with a wrap dress. It's a green 28cm box Kelly from 1958.

Thank you, everyone, for keeping this thread going. It contains much inspiration.

Wow—you are so kind, VesperSparrow. Thank you. The textiles you see are pieces I hunted down during a year of textile research in India. They are some of my most precious things.
