Mautto 1/2” strap as comparison.The Mcraft strap is closer to the LV version than the Mautto one is, but since they aren’t worn together I don’t think it matters. A smaller clasp was available from Mautto; I went with the larger one but I think either is fine.
I’m happy to have both. I’m currently waiting on mahogany Mautto straps for the Mono PA for when the weather is wet and I don’t want a pink strap.

I posted pics above but meant to tag you. I’m 5’5” and short-waisted but a size 12-14. My length is 44” because 47” would have been way too long. The tab portion of the PA adds to the length. Do you have another strap you could put on the bag to test length?
I've previously posted in a diff thread pics of my noir epi Felicie and noir epi PA with short Mcraft straps. I'm now sharing them here along with my mono and de PAs and their Mcraft short straps. I prefer these to the original straps they came with because I like having clips on both ends, plus these straps are a tad wider. I think the Mcraft straps match well.
I have the same MCraft strap at 47" and I love it! I haven't used it a lot but it's been fabulous and looks great. I'm not against buying the LV version but I'm on Ban Island and wanted to save money for now. It's very well made. I'm 5'9" size 8/10 and it's great for cross body
Update!
I went to the LV store at Saks and told them my items had been delivered with no box, ribbon, etc., and the SA was soooo nice! He was mortified that they had shipped the items like that.
He was like: “we sent it to you like this?”
He apologized (so sweet) and proceeded to go inside the SA room to re-pack my items. While I waited, another super nice SA offered me sparkling water.
I was in full princess mode.
Soon after, the male SA who was helping me, came out with 2 beautiful boxes, perfectly wrapped in their individual store bags and blank gift cards.
Such a redemption!
Lesson learned: you want something done right? Do it yourself. In person!
I also asked him about weird chemical smell and he said that was totally normal for newly manufactured coated canvas and that smell would fade eventually.
I was indeed very pleased.
Here are my new family members.
Now I just need a PA Mono and a Speedy B 25 to complete my current LV collection, lol.

Nice job, WillWordForBags! [emoji2]
After relentlessly stalking the mono PA in stores, refreshing the website at all hours of the day, and one too many frustrating "can't confirm either way that it's being discontinued" conversations with CS, I gave up trying to find one directly from LV.
I ended up purchasing a pre-loved one from 2016 for the same cost as buying new from LV, due in part to authentication and shipping fees. BUT, I'M SO HAPPY TO FINALLY HAVE THIS GEM IN MY COLLECTION! It's honestly in perfect condition, if it wasn't for the slight patina on the vachetta I would have assumed it was brand new!
Awaiting my chain strap from k-craft (thanks to all you lovely people here for the recommendation!)
I hope anyone who is still looking for one comes across theirs soon
