Here is a photo of using the "double-strap technique" to shorten the length of very long strap. I am using it here with my Honey-colored Large Soft Retro Glove Suede Borough 32295 UE HON. See the procedure below; it’s pretty simple once you try it.
- Unhook both ends of the adjustable crossbody strap and remove it from the bag
- Unbuckle the strap so that it separates into 2 parts
- Pick up the long part and clip it to the ring on 1 side of the bag
- Thread the long strap through the ring on the other side of the bag
- Pick up the short piece and rebuckle it to the long piece of the strap
- Clip the buckled short end to the same side of the bag where the long piece is clipped
- Adjust the length of the new "shoulder strap" as needed by changing the buckle hole used
To give credit where it is due, it was the husband of a tpfer named
@lovemyzoes that originally figured out how to make his wife's new Kristin bag work better for her by doubling the strap. He probably never knew how much happiness he gave to many, many women with that smart idea; I know that I am very grateful to him!
