This is gorgeous! Looks great. I'm surprised that's the shortest length. Thought the strap drop would be shorter.
I was surprised too. It’s a decent height, but I just ordered a shoulder strap from Mautto for days when I’d like to use it as more of a shoulder bag
will report back when that arrives as well.
SO with you on chains. The clanging, the weight, the digging - whoever came up with a chain strap as an only option has a very specific taste in... pain lol.
Man this is gorgeous. Is the croc flap a little lighter than the bag body?
Absolutely elegant. This Polene style is the most chic one they made IMHO and the croc on it takes it to a new level!!! Stunning.
It may look lighter in photos because it's more reflective, but yes - I think it's safe to say that it's just a tiny bit lighter than the body. It really is beautiful - I don't have much of a reason to bring it out yet, but I'm happy to just stare at it all day haha!
Can you share a pic and ref for the strap ? They offered me an option that doesn’t work ...
I feel like a bit of a leather strap at the very top, where it would hang on the shoulder, would have made a world of difference. As it is, "needing" to get another strap just to make it wearable makes me a little irritated, so I'm ready to sell it just on that principle alone. I think it's cool to buy additional straps for additional wear options, but if the original strap isn't wearable at all that seems like a bad value.
I’ve tried a couple of variations with Mautto. I found my last email to them, and this is what I asked for:
This one has a long leather shoulder piece and short chain bits at the ends. If I were to do it again, I’d make the leather part just a little shorter. I’ll take a pic and post in a little bit...
Another variation is below—this one had more chain, but was overall kind of short on me I thought.
