Hello Neuf fans! So, I think I finally realized what has been so 'off' about the Neuf. It's not that the bag is too big or not a great cross body....it's the wimpy strap that comes with it!! A super thin strap on a somewhat wide bag visually makes the bag look huge. That's why whenever you'd see photo's of my bag, you would see various other straps like the chain one from 'Dress Up Your Purse', and then there's the Rebecca Minkoff LOVE cross body strap. Even using those, something still didn't feel right. Well, I discovered Cuyana sells shoulder straps! They have wide ones and regular ones. Since my bag is black, I knew the color match would be perfect. I bought the wide shoulder strap for about $78.00-money well spent if you ask me. If you look close up at the pebbled leather of the strap, the 'pebbles' are larger than the bags pebbles, but who's looking that close?? They do have some other colors that 'resemble' colors of
Polene but it might not be exact. I knew as soon as I opened the package that I found my perfect strap!! I'm so excited to share this with you all! Now, 'visually' the bag doesn't look quite so wide...and Polene, I hope you are paying attention to this because the strap that comes with the Neuf is ridiculous!! Without further ado, check out my 'new' bag!!

I would say the colors of both in this picture are pretty true to my eyes. I’m attaching low light pictures here as well hoping they can be of help.
