Bag Trend: The canvas shoulder strap
A lot of designers this season are going through a sporty strap phase. Where instead of the usual leather or chain strap, the bags are topped off with a thick detachable cotton canvas shoulder strap. What do you guys think of it?


When it comes to comfort, I’m not complaining. Especially when it comes to a day bag that might be on my shoulder for 4+ hours. Like for instance when you’re out on a shopping trip, you don’t want to carry a bag that’s uncomfortable on your shoulder or that will keep you fidgeting every 5 minutes to keep from sliding down.


Pictured Above: Here we have a range of designer bags, which all come with this new comfy canvas strap accessory.

It might be comfortable... but i'm not liking the canvas shoulder strap.... I dunno... I much prefer a leather or chain strap instead...

I actually kinda like them... I'm not sure about the black ones with the black bags though, that does look a little weird.

I do like the canvas strap on some bags. The black strap is ugly though, it reminds me of something on a gym bag or my boyfriend's Xbox bag, lol.
