What strap are you using with this Alexa? It’s perfect!
Thanks! It's a custom shoulder strap from an Italian leather atelier named Massaccesi. It's a shoulder strap from their Little Minerva bag, but I asked for it to be custom made for me based on a length that I prefer (27" from hook to hook). It costed 35 euros. Shipping is 25 euros to North America. I find it to be much more comfortable than the original Alexa strap, which dug into my shoulders. Over the years I've purchased several shoulder straps but I find this one to be the most comfortable and distributes the weight nicely.
 
Yesterday's grainy photo in low light. We are having a bit of wintry weather and I pulled out this beauty for my sunset walk with the dog. I haven't worn this bag in a while but every time I put it on I'm struck by how it elevates whatever I am wearing. The bag isn't as brightly colored as it is showing up here; it is a lovely deep berry color.
