LADIES! Today is a big day….and it’s been a long time coming.
Let’s look back and talk about the WHY behind this post.
I got my first (and only) Louis Vuitton like 6 or 7 years ago. I loved it then, and I love it even more now. Well, two years ago, I decided I wanted to get a Louis Vuitton cross body. I went to the store, but I didn’t find any that I fell in love with. And I certainly wasn’t going to spend the money if I wasn’t in love. So I switched gears and decided I was going to get a Louis Vuitton cross body strap to add to the bag I already had.
BUT THE STRAPS WERE $400.
And they were boring.
On the way out of the mall that day, I spotted a bag strap in Nordstrom. I loved it, I bought it, and it’s been on my bag ever since.
WELL.
All of you wanted a strap like it for yourself.
But it sold out immediately, never restocked, and I could never find other options that I loved to share with y’all.
And when I say I received questions about the bag strap all the time……I RECEIVED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BAG STRAP ALL THE TIME. Like, sometimes up to 10-20 a day when I posted a pic where I was carrying the bag.
So this year I had an idea! One day after receiving an abnormally high number of questions about the bag strap, I called my friends at Accessory Concierge and asked if we could work on a bag strap collaboration. They were 100% on board! We talked about what I liked, we looked at a ton of straps, I settled on 5 favorites, and they immediately put those samples into production.
Click HERE for all 5 adjustable bag straps. The camo is $38 without the code, and the rest are $36 without the code. But with the code STMTbagstrap, they will all be 30% OFF! That makes the camo strap ONLY $26.60 and the other straps ONLY $25.20! And for today and tomorrow, you won’t be charged for shipping either (because of their NO SHIPPING SPECIAL for April)! WHOAH!
IMPORTANT: Put strap(s) in cart, go ahead and hit “checkout”, and then enter the code on the checkout screen.
A couple of things you need to now about the straps…
They are all easily adjustable, so you can make it perfect for YOU! The straps can be as short as 32″, or they can be as long as 59″. All you have to do is gently tug on the adjuster to find your desired length. They can be used on any bag that has strap attachment options, so the possibilities are endless! Today, I’m showing all straps on either my Louis Vuitton or my Madewell zippered transport tote (which I know many of you already have). If you prefer a smaller version, you can find that HERE. But again, you can use them on any bags with strap attachment hardware.

Let’s start out with the rainbow strap since this is the one I teased last week.
THE RAINBOW STRAP IS BRIGHT, VIBRANT, HAPPY, AND FABULOUS! And it’s going to go with so many of your colorful spring and summer outfits, as you will see below.

And this is the picture I teased. The bright colors are so cute with the joggers and denim jacket!

Bright stripes with turquoise? YES, PLEASE!
This is the first time you are seeing both the sweater and the jeans on the blog. For all of you that love Wit and Wisdom Ab-Solution jeans, you definitely need to check these out! I LOVE THEM. They are incredibly soft, stretchy, comfortable, and flattering. I’m wearing my regular 4s, but I would suggest sizing down if between sizes. The sweater is soft, perfectly slouchy, and comes in several colors. I’m wearing my regular small.

Same strap, but with the Madwell tote and my must have wedges.
The strap looks great with this coral top too! I can’t imagine a solid color it won’t look great with.

And it of course looks great with Kelly green.

This next outfit doesn’t have a bag strap in it because I took the picture before the straps were in my possession. Still, I wanted to show the outfit, because it’s another example of an outfit that would look great with the rainbow strap!
I also wanted to show a picture of my favorite spring and summer necklace, because it too can be purchased right now from Accessory Concierge with FREE SHIPPING (normally $6!). If you’re getting a bag strap, I highly recommend throwing one of these necklaces in your cart too. You will see it on me all Spring and Summer long.

OH WAIT! One more outfit that would look FANTASTIC with the rainbow strap.

Next up is the camo and leather bag strap!
This strap is more expensive than the others due to the fact that there is leather above each clip. But still, with the STMTbagstrap code, this fabulous strap will still be ONLY $26.60 WITH FREE SHIPPING (until Tuesday at midnight.) The leather color matches the leather on the tote pretty perfectly, and I love the little gold hardware on it also.

The camo strap really adds a lot of personality to this otherwise simple outfit.

It gives this super casual outfit a bit of sass too! I’m wearing a small in the cozy tee and the joggers. So soft and comfy!

And now back to my Amazon joggers, but this time with a berry tee and the camo strap.

Yes, today’s post is all about the straps.
BUT I LOVE THIS TEE. Last week I wore it to the 4th grade choir performance at school, I wore it the next day to a lunch with some ladies in my family, and then I wore it the next day to Carter’s soccer game. Seriously.
It’s loose and boxy, but I love the overall fit and style. I’m wearing my regular small.

And I of course had to pair the camo strap with a simple white tee and jeans. You can see in this picture how the leather on the camo strap matches the bag leather so well! And I threw in a bit of color with the $10 multicolor bracelet.

BROWN, TAN, GREEN, and RED BAG STRAP
Here’s the same sleeveless maxi and denim jacket combo from above, but I switched out the camo strap for this brown, tan, green, and red bag strap.

And I loved this striped strap paired with the blush cardi.
{Click HERE for a better look at the cardi. The first time I showed it, I paired it with pointy toe leopard flats a blush bag that also has strap attachment hardware! Scroll to the bottom of the post.}

This next strap is a simple two toned navy and tan strap. I loved pairing it with the orange floral.
I’m wearing a small in the dress. It’s easy, breezy, and perfect for spring and summer.

I love the simplicity of this strap.

And I went ahead and doubled down with stripes on stripes! I thought it was a fun look!

And last, but certainly not least, this classic red and green stripe strap.
I went simple with this first outfit, and just paired a simple black tee with a great paired of white frayed hem denim shorts. I’ve highlighted 12 items thus far as a Kut from the Kloth brand ambassador, and these white frayed hem shorts are probably in my Top 3 favorites. A little bit stretchy, not see thru, and not too short! Click HERE to see the white shorts on me to see how they fit (loo for a pic of me in an off the shoulder palm print top)!

And here with my super soft Amazon cardigan that you’ve seen on me now for the past several months. I adore it and will be wearing it all the way through Spring and Summer when in a.c.!

So that’s it ya’ll!
I hope you are just even half as excited about this bag strap collaboration as I am! These straps are obviously super functional, but I of course absolutely love how much style they can add to your outfits! And at such an amazing price point!
A huge thank you to Accessory Concierge for making this happen, and of course for letting STMT readers have a code.
Remember, use the code STMTbagstrap to get these fabulous bag straps for such an incredible deal! TIP: To get to the screen where you enter the code…put the strap(s) in your cart…..hit the green “check out” button….and then it will take you to a screen where you can enter the code!
Also, these straps have a 1.5 week ship time. They are making these bags as they are ordered (which enables them to give us such an incredible deal), but that comes with a longer ship time.
They’ll be worth it! I promise!
Erika Slaughtef says
Great idea, Sheaffer!! And I love the way you styled each and every strap!
Narci says
How fun!!!!!! These straps are absolutely gorgeous!
Shay Shull says
Ah! How fun is this?!?! Who doesn’t love Accessory Concierge?!?!
Stephanie says
YES! I’ve been waiting not so patiently for awhile now. So excited!
Kelly says
When I clicked on the link for the black sleeveless maxi dress, it sent me to a different dress than the one you’re wearing. I like the high neckline in yours but the link has a deep U neckline.
Sheaffer says
Oops! So sorry, Kelly! I have both dresses and just grabbed the wrong link! Going to fix the links now! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sarah says
Went and bought the rainbow strap before I even finished reading the post! Can’t wait to get it…
Kayla says
I just bought the rainbow strap! I’m so excited! Thanks for doing this!
Lorie Lisius says
but where, oh where is the leopard strap my fellow leopard-lover?!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lorie! We haven’t found one that we loved yet! Maybe in the future! #fingerscrossed
Jennifer says
I bought that rainbow strap before I even finished reading the whole blog post! It will look great with my new pink Coach bag! ???
Heidi says
Hello, I previously asked this question and never got a response back. Can you tell me what Louis Vuitton bag that is? It is exactly what I’m looking for but don’t know what it is called so that I can try find it.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Heidi! I’m sorry I missed your question the first time. It’s called The Sully (I think). That’s what readers have told me it’s called. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Lori says
Not sure what’s going on with Nordstrom. When I click on a link from a blog, it takes me to their website but will not let me check a size or color. When I go to the Nordstrom app, I search the item and then it will let me choose size/color. It’s not just your blog link, it’s happening with other blogger’s links also. Im curious if I’m the only one experiencing this?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Lori! I’ve had some others telling me this as well. I have no idea what is going on. I was able to recreate the problem one time, but now it’s working for me just fine. I’m so sorry you are having trouble. I think it’s just something that Nordstrom is doing on their end…hopefully it will get all straightened out soon! xoxo, Sheaffer
Melissa says
Hi there! Cannot tell you how many of your recommendations I have bought over the years! Now that the strap dilemma is solved, can you possibly link some other bags that the straps could go with? Just purchased a strap, but have been on the hunt for a cross body/tote-type bag for months! Thanks!!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Melissa! What don’t you like about the Madewell tote in today’s post? That will help me in knowing what to look for that’s different! xoxo
Melissa says
I’m thinking more of a flat messenger style bag, not tire. A true crossbody I think??
Sheaffer says
I’ll see what I can find, Melissa!
Melissa says
Thank you!!
Karen Seay says
Thanks, Sheaffer! Just ordered the rainbow stripe and green/red stripe. So cute!
Leena Chung says
Those are super cute! You need to add a leopard one, and all of them in silver hardware.
Juliana Grace says
Love these straps! They are so cute, I could become obsessed.

Kimberly A Clayton says
Got my bag strap yesterday–yippee!! Could you show a close up sometime of how it is attached to your Louis Vuitton? I have an Alma and I don’t think it is going to work on that one.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kimberly! I have large gold rings on the side of my LV where the shoulder strap is attached. I just attach it to those!
