Non-H Shoulder Strap Success

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.

Wow! Would you share who did the strap? Where did you get it customized? Love it!

Hi! It's from the Etsy shop "Tefia" by a very nice guy from Ukraine. You can tell him exactly what you would like to get, and he implements it with a big sense of quality.
I don't know how his situation is right at the moment, but if this is what his shop says:

"We donate our earnings to support the Ukrainian army and citizens who have had to leave their homes.
Glory to Ukraine!"

This looks great & just the kind of strap I need for my Jypsiere 31. I've looked at the Etsy shop & may I ask what you requested & how long the strap is.
Thanks in advance, K x

I guess, he will remember this :biggrin:

My order was:
Just one carabine, no clasp - like the sketch.
Strap color: Waterfall
Carabine color: Silver
Length inclusive carabine: 35cm
Wide: 3,5cm
SM for my initials
No Holes*

*I did the holes by myself because I wanted to try out the right position of the part where the clasp and the initials are - however, I have punch pliers at home.

I have an order in at one right now. It’s at GlamHandCrafts. I’ve never used them before so I’m not sure what the outcome will be, but I’m hopeful. I got an email yesterday that the straps just shipped, so I should have them between Aug 12th & Sept 7th. I ordered two straps, one for a gold tpm and one for a black tpm. I couldn’t decide on one for the etain. I’ll post photos when they arrive.
Here are the two straps I ordered. They’re exactly what I wanted. (I still haven’t found a pattern I like for my Etain TPM.)

How's the quality on these?
Do they feel substantial? does the leather trim look ok in person?
I think they’re great. I have the real H strap in the wider version in black & white for my Sellier evelyne and I think the webbing is the same in both that and the one from Etsy. The metal latches are substantial. imo the straps don’t look inexpensive at all.

Thanks for sharing! How long is the turnaround for delivery from this Etsy store? I was inspired by your pic to order a strap from them for my K28 and haven’t heard back at all since placing the other 2 days ago. (I also ordered a Salt strap for my K25 and that has already shipped.) Did they reach out to you at all after you placed the order?

There weren’t any regular updates sent that I remember, other than my order was received and then when it was shipped. However, I was able to get some tracking info by using the order on the Etsy site. That was a series of stops, but none in the US. I’m attaching the only screenshot I haven’t yet deleted. But until it arrived in the US, I just kept my fingers crossed. It was a minimal amount of money, but I really wanted the straps. I think from order to delivery was about 3 weeks. (I’m in California). At some point, near the end, I did get a delivery notice through the post office.

Thanks so much! Yes I got the same confirmation too! Good to know that the seller is not v responsive so I pro-actively reached out to update with my US phone number (other Etsy sellers ask for it when delivering to the US). Your straps look great and I’m looking forward to receiving mine!
