I'm new so can't make new posts. Hopefully someone can answer this.
This year, they tweaked the design so that the handle shapers on the brown Diana are black (yay!) — but they've also replaced the all-leather strap on the small and medium
with a cloth strap featuring the red and green stripes (boo!). The mini still has
the all-leather strap.
Wondering if anyone knows if one could buy and/or order the all-leather strap from the store on purchase? Googling didn't show me anything but aftermarket stuff. I am torn between the small and medium, but I am really not a fan of the new strap.
I mean, I figured if I am spending ~$4k USD on a bag, I could theoretically get the store to help procure the strap I want...right?
Conversely, is it possible to still buy the old model from last season? I would be OK with the black/neon yellow combo with the all-leather strap.
(There are two used last season smalls in brown available in JP — but they have some visible wear/dents on the leather from the bamboo handles not being stored properly. I missed out on the one small black I could find online in Japan...and it was brand new ~$2100 USD due to great exchange rate ugh. I need to go look at stores in person, but this bag isn't really popular in brown/black here because flashier bags or white/tan/pink bags are more popular here.)
