Hi!! Adding this short strap on the flamenco does change up the bag a lot!

I'm curious, does carrying it by the short strap tug on the drawstring, resulting in loosening? Or is it the contrairy?

Hi!! I just took the new strap with my flamenco out for the first time. As shown in the pic attached below, it did become loosening like that, if that was what you meant. BUT, after noticing that, I recalled that I just closed the bag with the magnetic closure without tightening the drawstrings. So I tightened the drawstrings and it helped keeping the shape a lot. I didn't see loosening afterwards, but I couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't if being held for a long time.

Personally, I am totally fine with the loosening.

For your reference, I put iPhone mini, a very bulky LV 6 ring holder with 2 car keys, and a Loewe card case with a lot of cards in the bag. So it was about moderate/essentials weight I would say.

I’ve just purchased my first mini flamenco and have been looking at different ways in which to wear it.
I noticed that on the 24S website they model it with the gold donut chain clipped onto the leather drawstrings. Does anyone else wear theirs like this? I can’t figure out if it looks good or slightly odd?!

I quite like it! But given my flamenco has a frog on and the drawstrings are his arms, it would definitely look like he was saying AAAHHHHHH.

The tiny strap of the Flamenco clutch is so uncomfortible and hurts my shoulder. I have tried the LOEWE canvas strap, but for me it is also not agreable to wear with the buckle. I find it stiff and heavy.
Now I have found the perfect strap in my own bag collection: my Hermes strap from my Bolide!! It‘s so lightweight!
Now the Flamenco is perfect for me, because I love that bag so much.

I'm very picky about strap comfort and truthfully, a comfortable strap is the deciding factor when it comes to whether the bag will be used frequently or not. I tried the small flamenco with the Loewe wide strap at the boutique and it was so hard for me to put it down.

I agree!
I was very disappointed about the LOEWE canvas strap and I feared to not find a agreable strap for my Flamenco clutch. The LOEWE strap looks very nice, but it's really not comfortable for me. The buckle is so big and also the leather pieces on the end of the canvas are rough and stiff. It works for some people, but not for me!
