Bracelet straps can also be used as key chains or even as large zipper pulls.
SHOULDER STRAPS (RANGE 30 INCH)
Shoulder straps are generally in the range of 30 inches and are usually used to carry bags tightly under your arms and close to your body. This is a popular length because the strap can also function as a top handle for other bag styles, such as tote bags. Many people like this length because it allows you to hold a bag with a handle when you carry it on your shoulder, but you are allowed to let go of your hands and be free when shopping.

CHOOSE A STRAP WIDTH
The strap width is the portion of the strap that rests on your shoulder or in your hand (if used as a "top handle").
