    Question Strap length on Cafe bags...

    I currently have a LCB and just ordered a SCB, but a thought/question came to me after I placed the order. Is the strap length the same on all the Cafe bags? If not, does anyone know what the strap length is on each one?

    Thanks,

    JD

    I don't have a LCB on me at the office but I believe the strap lengths are all pretty similar. Even the largest person can easily carry them as shoulder bags. Might be a little snug and up high as a cross-body for some, but for most folks it should seat just right.

    One tip: If you like to wear the strap shorter and you don't mind losing the rubber grip, you can actually snip it off with a pair of scissors. That said, if you snip it off carefully on the two top bridges, you can actually reinstall the grip when you need to.

    The strap on my MCB is pretty much the same length as the strap on Mrs B.'s SCB. Hope this helps.

    Or instead of reinstalling it you can upgrade to the Ultrasuede strap!
    Thank you Tom and crew for making such wonderful bags, being a conscientious customer focused company, and giving me a sense of organization and control over a part of my life that affects me almost every day, the things I schlep with me.

    Thanks for the responses! If the strap length of the SCB is similar to the LCB then I should be ok. I really like my LCB, but it's a bit too large for just carrying my daily necessities back and forth from the office (iPad mini, sometimes a magazine, LG Tone, a pouch with some cables, and my phone).

    You'll LOVE the SCB. It's a great size as a purse. Oh, and the front pocket fits an iPad mini perfectly!

    Does your iPad Mini has the Apple accordion cover?

    I totally plan to steal your idea!

    I'm hoping that it will make a good man bag as well.

    I have my iPad mini in this case. Got it for $20 after 50% discount code from their Facebook. It's the best iPad mini case I have found so far and I've tried over a dozen of them.
