Alma BB (Licorice Skittles) Colorama. This strap is so short! At 5'7", it doesn't work as a crossbody for me (one of the times I wish I was shorter!). But I love it so much that I will probably buy a black leather strap at some point, or use the MPA khaki strap.

The strap is beautiful, love those colors, too bad can't be worn xbody for you.

Maybe my torso is long and because I am wearing a sweatshirt... It sits not too far under my boobs - It's a boob bag! :lol:

Perfect for shoulder strap, but as crossbody will need to use something else. Looking at Mattuo and McCraft for plain black ones (like what comes with standard Alma BB).

I love this bag and the colour combo! It’s gorgeous! Only thing is the strap length. It’s a same for tall people like us :sad: I’m 5’6” and had the same problem when I tried it on I store. Congrats thought it’s a stunning bag. It’ll be used years to come

This bag is really pretty! I tried on this same one and as a crossbody, the strap is too short on my 5’3” frame.

I feel relieved that the strap length isn't just me. Was thinking I am some big weirdo.

Same here! The strap will not work on me for a crossbody, comfortably anyway. I like a crossbody to hang lower than this one sits and I am short. But I still love it and use mine as a shoulder bag and hand carry. Your black is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Yes, I’m 5’7” too and I can’t use my lemon as a crossbody bag, and I find the bag keep dropping off my shoulder :annoyed:
Maybe we should use strap from Trio Messenger or any from men’s collection which is longer .

This combination is gorgeous, many congrats! Love the colours of the strap with the silver hardware. :love: Maybe you could try a short chain as extender at the back side?
I have a similar colorama strap for my Twist and I‘m 5‘7 and it works fine as crossbody, but I think that’s due to the shape of the bag and where the strap attaches. Also, I wear only a thin knit jumper with it. It wouldn’t work with a heavy coat.

Congrats. It is very pretty. I think the strap situation is the same for a lot of people irrespective of the high. I am 5'2" and was not able to make it work because it is then too low and as you said the strap keep falling off my shoulder. I really love this combo
