This is how i did it - found a belt whose leather has a similar color to my Trim’s but with a texture contrast and looped it like so... (photos below). I suppose one can have the longer end of the belt trimmed off by a leather craftsperson too if they’d like but I just didn’t have the time.

@buttonmushroom thanks for sharing the links above too - I didn’t realize that there were older models with extenders. Would’ve been great to have those

Thank you so much, I love it. I never thought of a webbed belt, but that works perfectly. I'm going to look for one this weekend. Thanks again.

Gorgeous! Does it have a zipper, and no gusset? How much can you fit in it, without it becoming too bulky? I have two 31's (with zipper, gusset and 2 inside pockets), and am contemplating a smaller one as church and evening purse, but of course no H boutique has one that I can try out. Thanks in advance!

Hi! Thanks! It does not have a zipper and no gusset. Overall the bag is very flat but you can fit a medium sized wallet that isnt so bulky, an iPhone 7+ with a case, keys, and lippie. It may look a bit stuffed but overall it still looks cute. I think you will love it! I really hope you find one soon!

With special thanks to pureplatinum for her inspiration. This weekend I found the belts that work perfectly with my Trims. The belts have holes in the design which enables me to adjust to different lengths very easily and they were easy to cut to size. They were sold in a set of two, one black and one brown, both with gold buckles. The leather colors matched my bags perfectly, but one has gold hardware while the other has silver. DH took a file and was able to remove the top gold overlay of one of the buckles and get down to the silver metal, now both match. Photos to follow.
