Already mentioned this vintage box girl. I got a non-H strap for a more urban look:

I have to admit, I got so excited when I saw this photo, because I think I have your bag’s twin! Mine is Rouge Vif box from 1993, is yours similar age?
Love the strap and the whole look — thanks for the inspiration!
 
Well I have bought them very recently so they haven't had much use, all I can say is that they look good quality, I hope they'll hold up! I have no experience with other non Hermès straps so I can't compare.
That’s all I needed to know - whether the quality was good! I’ll order a few too, the look fun! I just can’t justify spending £750 per woven strap in my head - even if hermes! Especially since I need a few! I’m glad I stumbled across your post!
 
Thank you :heart: Good eye:tup:
Thank you too. The worst about the whole Coach collection was that I loved it all, but just know that I can't make it work. Couldn't justify spending on something I won't wear. And it helps that this line was almost impossible to get where I live.

I have the childrensbook Life doean't frighten me. It's a poem from Maya Angelou and the 25th edition has Basquiat illustrations. If you like the stap, maybe you'll like the drawings in the book too. The book is one of my favorites.
 
I ordered an Etain strap. The shop owner was very nice and said she could match Etain. Fingers crossed! Thank you again!
Would you mind posting the the strap you got to match your etain kelly when you receive it? I ordered the color gris from this seller and it was way too light for my K28 sellier etain. Trying my best to find an alternative to ordering a custom Hermes strap.

Sure, here you go. I struggled with lighting this morning but the two different pictures give you an idea anyway. I think it's a little darker than the bag. It is a much closer match than the original one she sent which was very brown. I have to say she did try really hard to make it right. I have not seen an etain Evelyn to know if how close of a match the original Hermes would be. I do know that you can't get a perfect match given one is leather and other fabric. For now, I am trying to be happy with it. I really don't need another Evelyn and am guessing a custom strap would be very expensive compared to this.

I think this looks great. Super cool girl vibes! The "grey" strap that she sent me was light beige. It may look okay with etoupe but may even be too light for that. Not even close to etain. I messaged and requested a match for etain so not quite sure where I went wrong. Perhaps should have requested to email her a pic of the bag. Thanks so much!
