How to install the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap

To install the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap on your Cafe or similar bag (must be 1-1/2" or 38/40mm webbing - the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap won't work on 2" straps):

Slide the existing pad out of the way to one end of the strap or the other. Simply wrap the USSW around the strap in the center of the length of the strap, fastening the hook and loop and the snaps at either end of the pad. Make sure the the snaps end up on the top of the strap so the underside is free of anything that might not feel so good against your shoulder. The pad will mold to both your strap and your shoulder over time, but should feel comfortable right away.

After you've used the USSW for a while, go ahead and cut off the old molded plastic pad. Use a scissors to carefully snip the plastic without cutting the strap webbing.
The first user review of the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap

We sent customer E. the first sample of the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap for testing. Here's what she had to say about it:

"The quality of the materials and the craftsmanship are exquisite. The Ultrasuede on the outside is luxurious to the touch. The padding is thick (not too thick, though) and grips the Cafe Bag strap tight enough that the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap does not slip or slide on its own but can easily slide manually if changing the bag from a shoulder position to a true across-the-chest messenger bag position.

I tested the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap out on several field trips for special needs kids knowing there would be a lot walking, stooping, and picking up/lifting kids and coolers. The Wrap kept the Cafe Bag in place throughout all of the kids activities. The fact that I didn't have to keep adjusting or pulling the bag back into position is a huge plus. I need both hands when I am with these kids and the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap solved that problem for me." - E.

The Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap is designed as an optional accessory for our Small and Medium Cafe Bags, or any bag with a 1-1/2� webbing shoulder strap. Our two smaller sizes of Cafe bag come standard with a small, low-profile molded plastic pad with a grippy underside. Some customers found this plastic pad not cushy enough and the plastic uncomfortable on bare summer shoulders, and requested a softer, cushier shoulder strap pad.

Our Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap is a sophisticated response to this simple request: it�s made of ultra-soft Ultrasuede laminated to soft Ensolite foam. The Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap wraps around the shoulder strap and attaches back on itself with hook and loop and snaps: it�s easy to add it �after market� as they say. The Ensolite foam provides a tacky surface to keep the webbing from slipping so the pad stays where you put it (the foam is not exposed except to the strap webbing).
