STRAPS, CHAINS AND SHOULDER BAG

A bag is one thing. The strap you choose to carry it with is another story. Changing the bag strap or adding a chain completely transforms how a piece looks and is carried, without needing to buy anything new. Here you will find bag straps and chains selected with the same criteria as the rest of the collection: original accessories with their own character that you won't find in just any store.

The selection includes nylon straps in various colors, textured ruffled models, straps with handcrafted knots, and leather options, as well as chains and crossbody straps. All are designed to change the look of a bag you already own or to complete a new one from day one.

Bag straps: nylon, leather, and texture

The interchangeable nylon bag straps are the most versatile. Available in black, grey, lilac, red, pink, green, and orange, among other colors from the Olivia Mareque selection. They are light, resistant, and work for everyday use as well as for a more casual or sporty look. The wide strap allows you to comfortably carry the bag crossbody, and if you want to adapt it as a fanny pack, the adjustment systems of these models provide enough leeway to do so.

If you're looking for something with more character, the ruffled bag straps add volume and texture to the ensemble. The ruffled finish, available in green, brown, and black, turns the strap into a visible element of the look, not just a functional accessory. These are the kind of details that change how an entire outfit is perceived.

For a more artisanal finish, the crossbody bag strap with a black knot transforms the silhouette of any piece with a handcrafted detail. It's not the obvious choice, and that's why it works.

The leather bag strap in grey is the most timeless in the selection. Compatible with structured or semi-structured bags, it gives a polished result that stands the test of time and trends.

Bag chains and crossbody straps

The Boléo chain and the gold bag chain are the accessories that most transform a classic piece. Replacing a rigid handle with a bag chain changes the way it is carried and the perception of the complete look. A gold bag chain turns a simple bag into something more editorial; a warm-toned gold bag chain fits well with evening combinations or more intentional looks.

Chain bags have that ability to make the same bag look like a different one. That's why the chain bag has been a timeless basic for years: it can be worn crossbody, on the hip, or hanging from the shoulder, depending on the length you choose and the volume of the piece.

If you want to go beyond the strap and further personalize your bag, the collection also includes bag charms and keychains to add an extra detail.

How to choose the right strap or chain

The first criterion is usage. For daily use with the bag as a crossbody, a neutral colored nylon strap is the most practical option. If the bag is small and you use it for more specific occasions, a gold bag chain is what best suits that intention.

The second criterion is the finish of the piece. Leather straps go well with structured bags; nylon or ruffled straps with more informal or fabric models. Chains, on the other hand, work with almost any type of bag, especially the more compact ones.

If you have a small phone bag, you can also check out the selection of women's phone bags or women's cardholders, which combine well with a crossbody strap to complete the look.

Units are limited, especially in the more specific colors. If you have a strap in mind, it's best not to wait.

What is the difference between a strap and a chain for a bag?

A strap is generally made of fabric, nylon, or leather, with adjustable buckles. A bag chain is metallic, made of links, and provides a more jewelry-like or formal finish. Both can function as crossbody straps, but they create very different visual results: the strap is more functional and casual, the chain is more editorial and versatile for more elaborate looks.

Are the straps compatible with any bag?

Most of the straps in this selection have standard carabiners or connectors that fit the rings or D-rings of most common bags. If you have doubts about compatibility with a specific bag, the Ferent team can confirm it before you place your order.

Can I change the strap of a bag I already own?

Yes. Interchangeable straps are designed for exactly that purpose. You just need your bag to have side rings or D-rings. Most bags with removable crossbody straps are compatible with the models in the selection.

What strap length do I need to wear the bag crossbody?

It depends on your height and the size of the bag. As a reference, an adjustable strap between 100 and 140 cm is usually sufficient for most uses. Olivia Mareque's models are adjustable, so you can adapt them without complications.
