Oh, there is a thread about!?
I posted in the jypsiere-thread but perhaps this fits here, too:
It didn't take me long to realize that I'm not the one who would shorten the strap of a jyps with a twilly -
although that was totally my plan.
Here is what I got instead...I did not even try to match colors because I wanted it to be obvious, so it looks more like an accessory with my initials. What I wanted was high quality leather and workmanship. It's customized and I think the light blue looks nice with etoupe.

Custom short strap from Etsy, shoulderbagstrap:
I love this look! Do you mind sharing which vendor on Etsy sells this?
ETA - oops sorry, I just noticed you included shoulderbagstrap. Thanks!
Bringing this thread into 2022 with my non-H strap/H bag combo; Celine 16 strap (size: long, color: tan) with my Barenia K25. I'm 5'8 and can't comfortably crossbody a Kelly (I prefer a lower crossbody look to a high one) so I was over the moon when I saw this strap. It's incredibly comfortable and such a gorgeous match for Barenia w/ GHW. 
I recently bought a strap from shoulderstraps on etsy, but I couldn't hook it on to my vintage Kelly since it was single ring. Does anyone have experience and success in finding a non-H strap that would fit a single ring Kelly?
TIA!!
TIA!!
Love this. I ordered another kind of strap (custom too) from this shop and it’s lovely. Just ordered this one in Etoupe for my Evelyne, thank you for posting!
Shoulderbagstrap at Etsy is awesome. She was able to match my Gris Asphalte Kelly for a canvas 110 cm crossbody strap.
I have this same bag and would like to make it into a hobo, too. What size strap did you order? Thank you
I have 3 vintage Kellys with single rings and I use the straps from Shoulderbagstrap without any problems. I have posted a pic on page 39 of this thread. The important thing is to have small hooks, bigger ones are too bulky.
Love it! May I ask what strap you use and where to get it? TIA!Off to a Father's Day BBQ. I may have taken the blue/green outfit to an extreme!
