Bag strapping is one of the simplest ways to eleva Bag strapping is one of the simplest ways to elevate your handmade bags — it adds structure, comfort, personality, and a polished finish to even the quickest make.

I’ve collected mine over the years from a mix of travel stops and online favourites — each one adds its own charm to totes, pouches, crossbody bags, and other beginner‑friendly sewing projects.If you’re a shop that stocks bag strapping, feel free to comment below so makers can discover you. And I’d love to know — where do you buy yours? I’m always discovering new favourites.Some of my go‑to places for strapping: @yuzawaya (online Japanese craft shop); @okadaya, Shinjuku (Tokyo); @nomuratailor (Kyoto); @daiso_official (100‑yen shop — stock varies); @missouriquiltco (online)Save this post for the next time you want to elevate your bag‑making ✨#sewingtips #bagmaking #bagstrapping #handmadegiftsideas #beginnersewingprojects elevateseries
