Interestingly, this combo was a little too bright for me to pull off. The body of my Kelly is tosca and the strap background is magnolia; looks pretty similar to photos comparing rose poudre and magnolia, don’t you think?

And again, the hardware color is a mismatch: Kelly has gold hardware, strap has silver hardware.

My other Tressage cuir strap that I bought specifically to use with my vert vertigo evelyne for cross-body wear is also 85cm so I think I can use the magnolia Tressage cuir, which is also 85cm long, cross-body with my evelyne, too.

Haha. I am relieved I am not the only one getting the H straps for our Evie's.

I too did a mismatch HW shot with my Kelly. Then I suckered and got a strap in GHW too.

I love the Magnolia strap. I think I will get one when I get a PHW Kelly Sellier.

Last night I started thinking about the possibility of interchangeable hardware on bag straps. Wouldn’t that be incredibly helpful for all of us “type A” folks who like to match the hardware on our straps with the hardware on our bags? Like a bag strap kit that comes with both the palladium hooks and gold hooks, and then the sangle cavale braided canvas straps and tressage cuir leather straps could still be purchased individually, but we would be able to switch out the hardware hooks somehow.

It’s tough enough trying to locate one of these add-on bag straps in the “right” length and width without the added complication of finding a specific hardware color!

I was thinking something like this...

Lol!

Oh, and I also learned that my puppy likes the smell and taste of Barenia, too. So far, I haven’t noticed any permanent darkening of the leather where his little tongue has deposited doggy saliva.

Love love love the Samourais CSGM! Goes perfectly with my handbag and my dog’s stuffed squeaker duck toy!

Now that my dogs are gone, I wish I let them mark my barenia bag. I thought about, but never did it. Soooo....glass half full on the saliva from your cutie?!
