Ode to the Evelyne

Hi purse lovers,

Maybe some of you below 5’1” with shorter legs encountered this issue already (if so please share). When I wear my Hermes Evelyne III bag which comes with the adjustable strap, even when I adjust it to the shortest length AND wear it cross-body it’s still too long!!! It hangs at/below my bum which is a bummer and people look at me funny :( I’d also like to wear it on one shoulder sometimes which is impossible now as it hangs super low at leg level. I estimate I’d have to cut the strap off a lot at a minimum.

How would you/did you solve this? Take the current strap to a shoe repair shop and cut it (will it affect resell value if I get bored with this bag later)? Buy a new shorter non-Hermes strap (what are the options)? Does Hermes sell a short strap?

P.S. My Evelyne III is in black Clemence. Thank goodness it’s not a hard-to-match color.

Please vote and comment.

Thanks in advance <3
