Great thread :) I need to order a strap for my Courchevel Kelly 32 I just bought, and I know that it would take months, if not a year, to get a strap for it and I would have to leave the bag as well, since they don't make Courchevel anymore.



I am going to use my gold-Evelyne strap, but wanted to order a leather strap too.



So, for those of you who own Kelly 32s, what is the strap length of just the leather part, and then what is the strap length from tip of one buckle to the other buckle? Thanks so much.

I believe for Kelly 32, the length of the leather is 30". There are some strap modeling pix on their website for comparison. For the bolide I ordered mine at 35" long.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about my bag being used for commercial advertising. Wonder if I could get a discount for life lol!

(I'll have to figure out how to put in some watermark to my pictures next time I post for TPF.)

On the other hand, will likely be ordering another mautto strap in a few months for a Kelly. The original H strap for my Kelly is quite worn and would rather have something more sturdy to wear.

Sorry, this would really make me very unhappy. I would email them immediately and tell them to take the photo down as it is your photo and your property. They should have asked your permission.

I ordered a strap for my raisin bolide and the owner of this shop was very good to work with. She even mailed me the leather sample in advance at my request so that I could be sure I would be happy with the color match. I love the longer length and wear my bolide cross body. I was delighted and the raisin bolide on the website is mine, used with my permission. She did ask for permission, so I wanted to post that I was pleased with my transaction and I found the owner to be very honest and great to work with. Hope this helps.

I was hoping to order a canvas strap with leather trim (at the ends) similar to an Evelyn strap for my Kelly from mautto.com. Alas they can't make the canvas/leather combination yet--they said they haven't perfected this look. Plus they don't have a bright red that will match rouge casaque. I guess for now I'll have to keep an eye out for a resale one or I may order a plain red canvas strap just to see how I like carrying my K crossbody before committing $$$ to strap that I may not use.

Oh no - sorry to hear that!! I hope they perfect the look soon because there is a demand for these straps. It's not a bad idea to order a plain canvas one just to see if you will use it. If they don't have the red you want, would you consider a contrasting color or is that too much?

I was searching for a good canvas strap as well. There are some on etsy that maybe you can try to see if you could get a match on the color. I found one that looks promising but haven't asked about customization from the vendor who is from China. There are lots of other vendors but the tricky part is to get them to customize and match the color of the purse.

Thanks very much for the link, ahhgoo! I was on etsy checking out straps last night too but there were 1000s. Didn't see this one but certainly looks promising and more similar to the Evelyne strap. I'll contact her to see if she'll do a custom order.

Lynette at mautto.com offered to send me both canvas and leather swatches so I can see the colors IRL. I asked for red, orange, medium brown and light gray. I think this style of canvas strap may work: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/187479884/cotton-canvas-webbing-strap-adjustable?ref=favs_view_3

I do hope the red canvas works out--I don't think it has to be a perfect match. For $30, one can't go wrong with that even if it doesn't work out. I'll take a picture of the swatches against my orange and RC bags so we have them for reference.

Also, these 2 leather strap styles may work for those looking for a leather crossbody one: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/192892350/crossbody-leather-buckle-strap?ref=favs_view_2 and https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/102781007/55-inch-adjustable-15-inch-wide-quality?ref=favs_view_1

I'm going to check out the other seller that ahhgoo found on etsy as well.

Let us know how it goes and what you decide Fabfashion. The Chinese vendor's canvas strap looks more like the Evelyn-type that I was interested in as it has both the leather and canvas combo. Will approach her myself eventually in a few months.

Mautto's canvas straps also looked interesting if there's a color match.
