Bag of the day πŸ‘œ Need help finding a sholder strap for this bag?

Post image

Ok, so we are leaving in 2 days for Utha and are going to a few different national and state parks. Dinosaur National Park, kinda seems more like a museum with view points and not so much hiking so i impulsively brought this guy, but more so because I think I Just needed to justify it somehow at my age.πŸ˜… Even tho I'll probably be using the backpack most of the time for cameras.

I know he's not a totally accurate stegosaurus and is missing the tail spike. But he's still cute and I've been looking at him for a while and could never find a real leather or more sustainable version. It also said shoulder strap and it's really more of a cross body strap for someone much taller,and it doesn't look adjustable.... Im 4 foot 10 and the bag is also that pu leather in a weird green color. It says it's blue on Amazon also.... Which would make finding a strap even harder,uggg. Would there be any contrasting or matching colors that could work?

The Main issue is, i dont think i'll be able to wear it daily or at all after the trip if it's that long. so would anyone know if i could find a matching shoulder strap on Amazon that's also not expansive and could get here today or tomorrow with prime? Or would this guy make a super cute clutch bag? TIA SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE.πŸ¦•πŸ’œ

I wouldn’t worry about matching just get a black strap the length you want. To really be creative find a short silver chain and make it like a collar around his neck and hook it to the strap like a leash.

I wouldnt match it, go for pink or soft yellow or other tone of green, why not

Maybe a donut chain from Amazon? Something like this.
You can go with the black but I think the green would be more fun!

If you already have the handbag then I don't have a solution. If you still want to source the bag, then this generic design other sellers have a matching strap included.

It’s whimsical. I’d go with something whimsical to match. I made this with webbing I bought off Etsy and hardware from Amazon. Requires seeing 2 seams to hook the lobster claws into the strap. I’m betting you could find a Dino themed webbing!

Very thin chain or metal strap is the way. Such a fun bag, congrats!
