On you Saffiano leather crossbody? Even at it's shortest it's really not at the right level for me i do know i can punch other softer leathers but was unsure on the Saffiano.

Mine is the large JS x-body in case that matters at all. :smile1:
 
Yes, you can punch a hole in saffiano leather. I added 2 holes to each of my shoulder straps for my Selmas and Sutton to add length.

Just make sure you plan to keep the bag and never want to sell. Custom alterations can devalue the bag. They are worth all original, with all of their parts, icluding any hang tags, etc. unless you do it well enough it doesn't get noticed, and don't ever plan on selling it. .
 
You can have another hole punched at your local leather care shop (shoe/bag repair shops). You just want to make sure they have the tool that will make the right size.

No worries, honestly if i were to part with it my oldest daughter would jump on it, she borrowed it one day and was totally if you ever sell that____ wink lol.
 
What do you use to punch a hole? Have you ever had a bad experience with any of the straps when you were punching holes?

I should mention i do have a real, proper leather hole punch it's part of the horse gear, comes in handy for other stuff too of coarse, it has an array of hole sizes.

My leather hole punch also has various hole sizes to choose from. I was careful when I punched the holes, so no issues. They all look perfect and almost as good as a professional. :smile1:
 
Yes, you can get them online and they have them at Tandys/
