Shortening a shoulder strap

[Blue824]

I received a nylon longchamp bag, not one of the pilages, but a different bag, its fine and i'd use it.... but the strap is like 3 or four inches too long... is it possible to have a shoulder strap shortened?? or is it going to look really stupid?

The strap is a woven nylon material that has leather on the ends and then the leather is connected to metal rings which connect it to the bag...

Where would I even go to ask about that being done??

I can't post a picture of the strap because 1. I'm at work adn 2. I currently have no internet at home because I'm in the midst of a move.

I guess I'll try a shoe repair shop, that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if it was correct - thanks

If its sewn to the rings you need to go to a seamstress. Maybe a good drycleaner has one.
