Vintage Coach Drawstring Backpack

Here we go over one of the ‘shopper’ bags that didn’t have the shopper name, the Drawstring Backpack from the 90’s with its cute handles! I also talk about how I cleaned the inside of this ‘dirty’ bag without dunking!

I use one strap to “sling” over one shoulder - way easier than actually putting both straps over and wearing full on my back

I would love to see a review on the mini shopper 9993 if you have one!

I have this backpack in British Tan and I prefer to use it as a top handle bag. Wearing it any other way was sooo awkward.

I wonder if they just meant that you can wear it over one shoulder rather than the whole 2-shoulder backpack way, & not as a crossbody at all. I used to have a Bass backpack that I only wore as a sling; too much trouble getting into it worn as a backpack. It might work better as a sling if you cross the backpack straps so they're buckled to the "other" buckle. That might help keep the straps together & not sliding/falling off the shoulder. Or not. Just a thought.

I would work one strap all the way through the purse area so that it is all coming out one side (do not unstrap the side that you shorten)....hard to explain, but I feel like in theory it would work😊

I know what are saying. After watching that is what I wished o had done but I still think it would feel lopsided:/

You pull the strap length inside the bag and throw it over your shoulder

That feels weird too🤣😂
