Returning it is a hassle...they don't readily have these bags in stock for me to compare and there's that cloud of thought floating above of how it can all be discontinued today/tomorrow...*sigh*
 
I ordered 3 straps and have gotten 2 so far in the mail. View attachment 3846504 The leather strap is M craft (eBay) and ~120cm in length. She does custom sizes, but I didn’t think I would need a shorter length. I was wrong! I usually knot my shoulder straps to shorten them and did the same with this one, though I don’t like how it looks as much bc it’s not a clean line. I’m 5’0 for reference.

The gold chain is k craft (eBay) #02 in 50cm.

I also custom ordered a longer chain from k craft at 105cm because I learned my lesson with the length of the leather strap.

All in all, this bag is amazing, love it, so glad to not have shoulder pain from my usual large bags, and just love. I want to put charms on it and get it heat stamped. It’s like, the cutest,
simplest thing.
I am looking st craft on Etsy and I am 5’1 I am stumped if I should get her basic 120cm or ask for shorter. Where does your bag hit you? The hip?

Sorry for not seeing this sooner! The strap hit low, below my hip. I should have gotten a smaller size. I actually ended up cutting it myself and tapering the ends, and I cut it to around 105cm. I'm 5'0, and that is a perfect height for me - it hits at the top of the hip. The 120cm was actually hitting below my hip on the side of my leg, way too far away to reach for!

Okay thank you! The 120 cm was 47in and I told her to make it 42 in which is 106cm so that’s perfect!

Did you end of returning?? I was looking at mine and on one corner it has some pulling at the stitch line as well. Everything else looks fine.
I’ve never seen this in any of my other bags.
Is this common for pochettes?

Kept it cause I really needed a crossbody. After 2 prior returns I concluded that this must be the norm (canvas peels, threads sticking out, big holes in between stitchings, cracks) for PA. My mini however was/is almost entirely flawless. Also read in others posts that this defect is quite common in PA so yeah...I don't know..I guess the recent ones are like that
