Bag Straps

Bag handles give your handmade bag a sturdy and attractive finish. Whether you’re crocheting, knitting, or sewing a bag, the right handle determines not only its look but also how comfortable it is to carry. Choose short handles, a loose shoulder strap, or leather bag handles to give your project the perfect finishing touch.

In this collection, you'll find various types of bag handles, such as Cotton handles, Bamboo handles, leather shoulder straps, and separate bag straps. With these, you can easily finish off a shopping bag, project bag, handbag, crossbody bag, beach bag, or crocheted Granny Square bag.

The type of bag handles you choose depends on your project and the material you’re working with. For a lightweight crocheted bag, cotton handles are a great choice. For a sturdier bag or a project bag, you’re better off choosing leather or an adjustable shoulder strap. Bamboo handles, on the other hand, give your bag a natural and classic look.

Which bag handles go with your bag?

Short handles are handy for small bags and crocheted bags. Are you making a larger bag, or do you want to carry it over your shoulder? In that case, a longer shoulder strap or an adjustable bag strap is more practical. When making your choice, consider the length, color, attachment method, and sturdiness of the handle.
