Thanks! The strap is comfortable and the Pico 18 doesn’t stick out much. It’s the length of the strap. If I remember correctly, you’re a couple of inches taller than me so this may apply to you.I think this looks great SFNY! is it uncomfortable crossbody because the strap is too short or because the Pico 18 sticks out too much? I've been dithering for some time over a crossbody answer and I've yet to come up with anything really optimal; everything seems to have semi-dealbreaker issues
It’s also a question of do I get a strap specifically for crossbody or do I get a strap for a longish shoulder carry that can convert to crossbody in a pinch? Since I do a lot of (speed)walking in the city and prefer to shoulder carry the Pico, I chose the latter. The 80 or 90cm option may be the optimal length for crossbody.
Sure, it’s CrafthardwareFinding. They have quite a few styles, I got two extenders plus a longer crossbody chain strap.
Not a success story just yet but I googled Mansur Gavriel straps & they have a nice selection available for $40-$50 USD. For some strange reason they don't show up if you go to the site & search for it, I was only directed to the product page through Google, but I was able to order this saddle color for my Evelyne. Think it will complement Vert Cypress nicely.
Ordered this 70cm x 5cm strap to match my Geegee charm
Happy to report that the MG strap is a success & the saddle color works well with Vert Cypress; surprisingly also a good match for gold. I had my cobbler punch two extra holes so the drop is shorter than the Evelyne strap at its shortest adjustment.
the womens' runway SS23 shoulder bag with a very short strap, a bit like a large revisited Evelyne,
is just calling out for an Etriviere extension

Thanks for your mod shots and size info. I have a Picotin 26 and was looking for a shoulder strap w/option for a crossbody. Your pics really helped. (Yes, a 26 can be worn on the shoulder but I would like it with a little more give when wearing a jacket)
I am 5'2" (on a good day, but probably more like 5'1") and like wearing my Kellys as a shoulder carry but I don't like them hitting too low on my torso. I wanted a shorter strap and found these on Etsy. I ordered a black one with ghw that I use on my darker bags and a graphite one with shw. I ordered a shade darker than my etain so I could use with other phw bags. Thinking of getting a red/pink one to go with my bags in that color family.
The straps are from HandCobbler. You can get any length and hardware combo and there are a multitude of colors to choose from. I think they go great with my Kellys.

Thanks! I'm probably going to end up ordering many more from her also. I think the leather and hardware match really well.
