A Guitar-Style Strap That Carries the Weight

Like a guitar strap for a purse, the 2-inch woven band spreads the weight of your bag across the shoulder instead of concentrating it on a narrow line. Owners who found a thin leather strap dug in or slipped off describe the Graeae as the strap that made their bag comfortable for a full day of errands or travel: lightweight, wide and stable.

Adjustable to Your Height and Your Bag

A slide buckle sets the length. Style A adjusts from 25 to 48 in (63.5 to 122 cm) and Style B from 32.7 to 51.6 in (83 to 131 cm), so the strap can be shortened for a petite frame or lengthened to wear a bag crossbody over a coat. If the strap that came with your bag is too long, this is the fix.

Two Styles: Classic or with a Front Clip

Style A is the classic woven strap. Style B adds a clip on the front of the strap for a coin purse, a glasses case, a key ring or an earbud case, so the things you reach for most hang within sight. Style B is woven from polyester cotton with leather trim.

Swap the Look of Your Bag in Seconds

Swivel snap hooks at both ends clip onto the strap rings of any Minooy crossbody with a removable strap, and onto other bags with D-rings. Keep the leather strap for a formal look and switch to the woven strap for weekends and travel. The hardware comes in bronze, gold or silver to match the fittings on your bag.

20 Patterns to Match Your Bag

Each of the 20 woven patterns is designed around a Minooy bag color, from Brown and Black to Sapphire, Caramel, Trench and Powder Blue, with hardware in the matching finish. Pick the pattern whose base color and hardware match your bag, or choose a contrast to change its character.

The Graeae is a woven purse strap made from polyester webbing, a woven band of polyester yarn. It is the same kind of material many guitar straps are made from, and that is where the guitar strap for purse look comes from: a wide, flat, patterned band built to carry weight on the shoulder hour after hour. On Style A the band is woven polyester. Style B is a blend of polyester and cotton, finished with leather trim and a front clip for small accessories.

Polyester is a natural fit for an adjustable crossbody strap. It is strong for its weight, so a band two inches wide still feels light. It resists stretching, so the strap does not sag or grow longer under the weight of a full bag. It stands up to rubbing from jackets, coat sleeves and the edge of the bag itself. It absorbs very little water and dries quickly, so a little rain is not a problem, and it resists mildew. Polyester also holds dye well, which keeps the colors of the pattern bright and slow to fade in the sun.

Width is where the comfort comes from. A 2-inch band spreads the weight of the bag across the top of the shoulder instead of concentrating it on a narrow line, which is why owners who switched from a thin leather strap say the Graeae stopped digging in and made their bag comfortable for a full day of errands or travel. The wide woven band also sits securely, so it stays on the shoulder instead of sliding off. A wide crossbody strap suits small bags too: one owner who was skeptical about such a wide strap on a tiny purse says it now absorbs the weight of even the smallest, heaviest bag.

Owners describe the strap as sturdy, well made and better looking in person than in the photos. The weave is dense enough to give the band real body, so it feels substantial rather than flimsy. The swivel snap hooks and the slide buckle are metal, finished in bronze, gold or silver to match the hardware on Minooy bags, and each of the 20 patterns is built around a Minooy bag color. Clip it on in place of the leather strap and the same bag goes from polished to casual in seconds, then back again when the occasion changes.

Caring for the strap is simple. Brush off dust, spot clean marks with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and let the strap air dry flat, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or soak it: water and tumbling are hard on the metal fittings and, on Style B, on the leather trim. If the leather trim gets wet, wipe it dry, and treat it with a leather conditioner now and then. Looked after this way, the woven band keeps its color and its shape, and owners expect it to last as long as the bag it is clipped to.
