Hi @mindless, Yeah looks like the strap is too long for you. You can probably shave off 4 to 5 inches and will look perfect for you.

Hi, I would shorten the strap, it is really long. But if you also want to wear the Saintonge over a bulky coat in the winter, you might want to consider that too.
It’s a gorgeous little bag and really suits you!
Thanks for the advice. I am from Singapore and we only have summer all year round ☹. Cos the SA told me as the strap is not removable, LV does not do the shortening of strap. So I am thinking should I get it shorten at a tailor alteration shop.

I am very tempted to do it. But I am not sure if I should bring it to the tailor alteration shop to do it. My sa said LV will not cut the strap for me as it is not removable.
Hi, yes go to professional alteration shop. Find someone who has a good clientele of high end stores. My alteration person/shop is our local Neiman's go-to. If not maybe a shoe cobbler place?
@mindless Please understand that if you let the tailor shorten the strap, LV will not complete any future repairs on the bag. I believe it also voids all defects resolutions. Proceed with caution.
Agree, thanks for pointing that out. @mindless are you open to selling it and just purchasing a bag with a removable/adjustable strap?

Back in the office, back to nicer bags. I was traveling for business last week and enjoyed my carefree Longchamp tote, though I did bring along my Pochette and used it when talking walks and going out for dinner.
Catogram Neverfull again. It’s a chilly Summer day and felt more like Fall, so I thought the Catogram goes nicely with my outfit. Stay away, Fall!
I am also using the new MCraft NF handle protectors I just received last week. Love them so far and they completely cover the premature glazing wear on my handles!

. Thanks for all your lovely action pictures.Switching into Capucines bb.. Took away the twilly as well, it looks perfect on its own
Leooh, your Capucines is gorgeous
I need to google to see where or any recommendations to do strap alteration. I don't think we have an establish store like Neiman's to do that
