Astrid - Can I ask the make of the satchel? I think I may have to order one for myself!

Thanks Scarlet! I think you're right and it could be a tad lower. I hope it's no problem to make the strap adjustable, then I don't have to worry about chosing a length.

Lyn, It's Halogen. I'm not sure if something similar is available at the moment?

Faboo. I will utilize all my sources to be your satchel twin.

Hooray for the sisterhood of YLF- how very sweet of Inge!
I love the bag for you, Astrid! I think a buckle and several holes will be perfect. I know that with my cross-body bags the length of strap I need is much longer over a down coat than it is over a light sweater, for example, so adjustability is helpful.
Enjoy! And happy early birthday!

That is a fabulous bag! Love it!

Gorgeous bag and it complements you perfectly. How very sweet of Inge!

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!

I wear my cross bodies a bit longer than that, actually - so they hit with 2/3 below the hip, 1/3 above.

Love the bag, Astrid, and how wonderful of Inge send it to you!

As for length -- I'm echoing Sarah, but it is a matter of personal preference.

Love the bag, and it looks perfect for you! And Happy Birthday!

How sweet. The bag suits you well.
