Thank you sooooo much for the fabulous idea! I haven’t been using my small satchel either because of how big the bag looks on me as a small bag! Now I’ll actually get use out of it now!!
You’re welcome Bonnie! I had the same issue and found this was the cleanest solution. Now if Peter Dooney would have only put an outside back pocket…this bag would be perfect! Thanks for watching and have a great day. 🤗
Ivana that's genius!! And I love the idea of adding several to give it a chain strap look! Thank you for sharing this!! By the way, love your shirt! Have a great weekend & Happy Mother's Day!! XOXO
Thanks Spring! My friend gets all the credit though. :) I appreciate the compliments on my shirt. It's from Amazon. Happy Mother's Day to you too. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend! xoxo :)
Wow! That is so innovative! I love it. Off to the ‘zon. Your bag is stunning and looks amazing on you. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Great solution, Ivana! Love the idea of adding the chain extenders as well! I think an embroidered fancier type of guitar strap would like nice too. Love your "LOVE" shirt! You always have such great style! TFS! Much love!
Thanks Ivy! You always have the kindest comments! I think a colorful guitar strap would be beautiful and add the perfect pizzaz to this bag. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Thanks! I bought a little extender after I filmed this and it works out well. Amazon has so many cute accessories to have fun with. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Nice solution for the same exact problem I have! I did a video on the same topic, but I hadn't thought of completely eliminating the long piece. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Pokk!! The different accessories are so fun to change up our bags. I am definitely going to play around with some different options. I see so many cute ideas on the communities videos. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
SAME! I love carrying mine 'shoulder bag'. 💕 I seriously don't understand either why D&B still hasn't made a 3 part strap for this silhouette since it's so popular and so many YT VIDs and reviews on this bag around numerous websites regarding the frustrations of this strap. lol. Agree on outside pocket, too. Great VID, gorgeous bag & you look great! Thanks for sharing! 😍
Thanks so much! A 3 part strap would be a game changer for this bag! I would use another Dooney strap, but I really want the strap color to match this bag. I hope Dooney is listening. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
@@myPursesuitOfHappiness With the last handbag I got, I believe D&B is listening 'coz they added something that wasn't there before, as minute it may be, it's awesome. No prob, I know we have lives outside of YT. lol. Hope you are having a great weekend. 😍
Thanks so much! I hope you like it! Way too bulky...and it just gets too heavy. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
🧐💡🧐 Very clever you are. I wonder if Dooney tries these bags on live models, it seems many Vloggers have problems with shoulder straps. Yes, the shoulder strap on that bag needs to be a bit shorter. For me, I prefer a bottom not more than 5", 5.5" at most, regardless of how I wear the bag. It is good you can press it a bit closer to your body, looks good. Love your top😎
Thanks so much!! I wonder if they test them as well. If they would only start putting the 3 part strap on these it would solve a lot of problems. I like a slimmer bag as well. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Great idea Ivana! I would’ve never thought of that. It would be too short me personally, but I agree ab not liking it as a long shoulder or crossbody for regular wear in those ways. They work fine for me for spur of the moment wear here and there but other than that I wear mine as a satchel. TFS and hope you’re well!
Thank you! 😊 I love hearing how you wear your satchel. I wish I could just carry it by the handles, but I'm so dependent on a shoulder bag. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Ivana that’s a great creative idea, I like it! Because the DB Satchels can be very heavy for that tin strap Dooney puts on them. You look cute wearing that bag. TFS 🦋❤️
Hi Ivana!!! That is a good point on not having a outside pocket!!! Also I agree with you because when I had this bag it was too long on me and it does get heavier when it’s hung so low because it’s all leather I think!!! I loved the bag!!! Ooh!!! I loved how you shortened the strap that was so neat Ivana I loved that!!!! I loved your video!!!! Yess!!! Xoxo Pam 💖♥️♥️💖
Hi Pam!!! I'm so glad you love it! It definitely makes this bag more comfortable. Now if it would just stop raining I can carry it! LOL! Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Thanks so much Diane! My friend Piper gets all the credit though. I did just order a short chain extender and it looks great on it too. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day! xoxo :) 🤗
Yes! Thank you Ivana! I've been waiting for you to do this one! This color is just gorgeous. In spite of the satchel function issues, it does look great on you 💖🌹
You are so welcome Diane and thank you! I appreciate the compliment! I'm sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Good morning Ivana ,I’m just about to bring out my ocean Satchel !! The first way is the way I shortened mine but your way is a game changer and I will be getting some of those rings ,you could definitely put more rings on to give it a little bit more length Ok I’m of to Amazon LOL HUGS 🥰
Hi Frances, I'm so happy this helped you! I hope you were able to try it out. Your ocean satchel is gorgeous! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Hello, I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while now. Love your channel!! I am a handbag lover as well. Great tip on shortening the strap on handbags!! Dooney’s are my go to bags. Tfs and have a great weekend!!🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷
Hi Susan, thank you so much for being a long time subscriber and for the very kind comment. It is so nice to hear from you and to know that we share the love for Dooney. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Ugh! After punching 5 holes on the super long D&B strap which didn’t work for me anyway…then I found your video 🤦🏻♀️ THANK YOU so much for the tip! 🙏🏼 Good thing I have a gold keychain that has the same O ring like you recommended and it worked perfectly 🙌🏽 Should’ve looked into RUclips earlier 😏
Beautiful bag! It looks Bordeaux is it? Do you have a fielding tote? That strap comes off and I’ve used it for my satchels to give me a short shoulder too 😊
Thanks Inga! Yes it is Bordeaux...my absolute color in handbags. I don't have a Fielding tote. That's a great idea! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Thanks! Congrats on your new bag. The Zip Zip Satchel’s strap is just a shoulder strap. It’s not meant for crossbody. My Florentine satchel strap is long enough for crossbody. It’s slightly wider but not much than the zip zip strap. The length from clip to clip measures 45.5” at its longest. That makes it a longer crossbody on me and I’m 5’5”. However my bag is an older bag. They might have changed the straps on the newer bags. They might be the 3 part straps to make it shoulder or crossbody. You can also buy straps on their website I believe. Thanks for watching. 🤗🌷☀️

The ring or chain extender is a brilliant idea!😃 It really makes a difference in the carrying and enjoyment of your bag. Thanks for sharing this tip!😊

Thanks! You’re welcome. I hope you find it much more comfortable. Thanks for watching and have a great day. 🤗
What a cool hack! I am going to try this. I agree it’s too big and bulky for a long shoulder or crossbody. TFS!
Thanks so much! I hope you like it! Way too bulky...and it just gets too heavy. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Thank you for the demonstration ...the Ring is a nice way to shorten the strap...tfs Happy saturday 🤗❤
