I have one in my finds that's $50 at one of the two websites in the notes on the find. If you just want a strap (I'm not sure--thought you posted that you'd found a place to get one, but then you seem to still be looking), see Beth Ann's "Guitar Hero" post a few days ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1838748 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 00:57:00 +0000 bridgie 1838748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, I had to pop in one more time to say I do like the bag with guitar strap you kept, very good looking bag.&nbsp; I hope you get the chain and get it looking to please you.&nbsp; Please post a pic when you do.</p> <p>Sorry, I have no answer to your original question.&nbsp; I have been looking at the chains you asked about because I also have a bag which needs A chain.&nbsp; This is aside from the guitar strap!</p> <p>Thanks again. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1838497 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 02:22:58 +0000 Emily K 1838497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are very welcome, <b>bridgie</b>. &nbsp; I hope that my two cents can be useful to you. &nbsp;I found one picture of me with the bag I kept. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1838492 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 01:47:56 +0000 bridgie 1838492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, Thank you for responding and sending pics and find of your handbags.&nbsp; Time got away from me.&nbsp; It is very co-incidential&nbsp;that I discovered guitar straps for bags at the same time as the solar eclipse. lol&nbsp; Until Angie's post last week I was not aware of guitar straps on handbags. Then, I became quite intrigued and taking notice when there was a post or pic on the forum.&nbsp; I do think all three you show are very neat.&nbsp; However, I certainly see your point in not wanting to keep them when they are so not your thing!</p> <p>I have looked at T.J. Maxx, Ross and Target.&nbsp; If I find an inexpensive one I might buy it to introduce myself to them.&nbsp; If I do come up with one to consider I will be asking the forum's opinion before I decide to do anything drastic. :)&nbsp; Seriously, Emily, Thank you.&nbsp; That was a very sweet and kind thing to do.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1838196 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 05:37:58 +0000 Emily K 1838196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bridgie</b>, &nbsp;The short answer is that I am more comfortable with minimal, rather austere fashion. &nbsp;To me, the wide guitar strap just feels like too much decoration. &nbsp;The straps are WIDE--maybe almost 2" wide--and that feels very exaggerated. &nbsp;In the past year, in an effort to update my bag collection and my fashion, I tried three different bags with guitar strap. &nbsp;I returned two but kept the third, mostly because it was inexpensive and I wanted to try and work through my discomfort with the style. &nbsp;That hasn't happened. &nbsp;However, I can say that the wide strap is very comfortable and does not slip from my shoulder. &nbsp;Angie suggested the guitar strap style as a good alternative if one has a bigger bust (I do) because it doesn't cut so deep between the breasts when worn as a crossbody. &nbsp;I DO find this to be true, but still prefer not to wear the strap as a crossbody. &nbsp;I've appended photos of the two bags I did not keep and a find for the third. &nbsp;I really do not much like the third bag (even minus the guitar strap) but it did occur to me that it might be a good candidate for a chain handle if I wanted to participate in that trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1838188 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 05:09:43 +0000 KnittingGene 1838188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for that website! I just found a Coach bag at Goodwill in great shape, the size and style I've been hoping for but NO strap. This website might be the easiest answer for me. </p> <p>I like your idea of multiple options for a bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1838185 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 04:44:46 +0000 bridgie 1838185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, In the last few days guitar straps have caught my attention.&nbsp; Then it dawned on me you said a guitar strap was a little&nbsp;"too much"&nbsp;for you" and you might replace it.&nbsp; Could I ask what about it makes you feel that way?&nbsp; Wish you would post pics! :)</p> <p>I do not have a guitar strap but I am finding them interesting and seems they may be trending.&nbsp; I also agree with you that I like the option to have chain handles on my bags.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1837495 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 15:31:47 +0000 bridgie 1837495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, thank you for this timely post.&nbsp; I have on my current to do list to take a look at my many bags and update wherever possible.&nbsp; This post will be most helpful to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/replacement-chain-or-bag-strap#post-1837481 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 15:02:02 +0000 Emily K 1837481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was reminded by Angie's blog post of a website I found recently that sells replacement handbag straps and chain straps. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mautto.com/category/straps-by-width-chain">http://www.mautto.com/category.....idth-chain</a>&nbsp; Do any of you have experience with this company? &nbsp;I have a bag with a guitar strap handle that seems to be a little "too much" for me. &nbsp;I'm thinking about buying a chain handle as a replacement. &nbsp;And I like the idea of being able to convert any bag to a chain handle as an option. </p>
