Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody?
A: This piece has dual wrapped handles and a detachable shoulder strap. The strap drop is approximately 47 cm, which generally works well for shoulder wear. Depending on your height and styling preference, it may sit too short for a comfortable true crossbody fit, so we recommend using the listed measurements as your guide.
