Suggested For All around this will likely work for the most people and our top reccomendation. It's the longest of the three options so it works as a crossbody best of the three. If you are more petit / small waist, check the measurements of the other strap options.  The woven nylon and thicker width makes this the most comfortable on the shoulder and hot weather. May be small for chest so check the measurements.  This is the best option if you are petit (size XS-S, 0-2) and want to wear around the waist because this is the shortest strap of the three. Small busts can still wear across the chest but double check the measurements. 

 

How to measure your body: 

1. Measure your body where you want to wear the bag. 

  • For across the chest, measure from shoulder down to the side, and back around.
  • For around the waist, measure around the waist/ hip where you would like the bag to sit.
  • For crossbody, measure from top of your shoulder where you would like the top of the bag to sit. This will give a drop length, which you can check in the chart above.
    • These straps are fairly short for crossbody so if you want to wear the bag primarily as a crossbody, you can message us to sub or add on a longer strap to your order.

2. For chest and waist measurement, minus the bag length (~9") and check which strap falls into this measurement.

  • For example, if your hip is 40", 40-9=31. The wide strap will fit into this range, but the Jacquard short and Faux Leather short may be a little short as they are 29" and 30" max length, respectively.
  • 1-2" longer or shorter may be close enough to wear a little higher or lower depending on where you measure so measure several spots to see which strap would work best for you.
  • Some straps may work better for different styles depending on your body. Prioritize which styles you care the most about, or you can add different straps to switch it up for different occasions.

Need a longer strap? We can help with adding on or subbing in longer straps. Please email us at support@ardencove.com for assistance.
