How I wear this bag is to keep the belt fastened and then either tuck the flap inside the bag like I do with the top flap of my Birkins. Another way I wear this bag is to keep the top flap unsecured and hanging over the front. Both ways allow me to have quick and easy access to my bag contents when I carry it. Also, I do wear the bag on my shoulder even though it probably isn't intended to be a shoulder bag, as well as carrying it over the crook of my elbow and held in my hand,

I find that I can also secure the top flap down using the front leather covered "belt loop".

I realize I'm the minority and even my newfound "tricks" won't work for everyone, but I wanted to share with you my "workaround" for the Etribelt. :)

This is such a helpful review lala. You're very enabling! I still think it would have been good to have the strap a touch longer so I could shoulder carry it but that would spoil the overall shape. I've been lusting after a cobalt bag for ages, saw a cobalt etribelt and passed. That could be the proverbial One that Got Away....

I agree that a slightly longer handle would increase the popularity of the Etribelt. It comes in one size which is 34-35 cm so it wears like a retourne Kelly 35, but with a more casual look.

The price for the Etribelt is $7700 USD so I completely understand that people may prefer to spend that amount on a Kelly versus an Etribelt. In any event, I'm pleased with this bag style and carry it out when I'm doing errands and so forth as well as going to the office.

Most people would probably need to balance the Etribelt on their knee or a counter to unfasten and re-fasten the belt on this bag which I agree would be a big pain in the tukus.

Lala Insanely gorgeous colouration of Proues one of my favourite of the oldies. It ties like a dream and has a graphic modern feel . Totally underrated !
I 've never seen this colour before, do model it !
