Nolita 15

ETA: After inspecting this and playing with it for the last hour+, I realize this isn’t going to work for me. I think I want to return it.

That strap design doesn't make any sense to me. What's the clip for? If you un-clip it and attach the clip to the ring at the other end, are you supposed to carry it like an oversize wristlet? (I don't know how big the bag is so it's a fair question, maybe it actually IS wristlet-size). Then you still have the end it was clipped to hanging down or sticking out. Why not just use an adjustable buckle instead? Or just D-rings on both ends?

It's not oversized, it’s tiny. It’s actually shorter in length than the my normal wristlets. Doesn’t fit my phone. But I do agree that the design is not good if you wanted to carry that way, which was not my intention.

When I first got into Coach (about 2006-ish) this is how they designed ALOT of their bags/wristlets/Accessories. i just purchased two Soho Flaps (like I was obsessed with back in the day and they have a buckle on one side and it is sewn down on the other...so you cant even flip the handle out of the way to add a crossbody strap. Either make non remove-able or pick a fastening and do it on both sides. I don't understand the "split decision" on the straps

I hate this design detail. It reminds me of fake Coaches with the zipper ends sticking out. LV does it, so I think that is where they got the idea.

One of my Poppy bags (2010 or 2011) had this ugly cloth strap attached on one side but clipped on the other. I cut it off!

Yep, they did a lot of straps that way back around 2010, with a removable clip on one end and permanently attached on the other. It used to make me nuts too, it just didn't make any sense.

YES!! It never made sense to me why the Nolita 15 and 19s don’t have straps that both come off!
