Rivets will probably be your best bet, since it's already sewn. If it wasn't I would use Chicago screws

Personally I would use stitching because the bag is stitched. It would take longer but the end result would look better and you wont have to worry about the edge of the straps lifting up or curling. If you wanted to use rivets or chicago screws you would need to make sure you match the thickness of the leather to the depth of rivet/screw or the strap would be loose and floppy.

I use rivets and screws, I have to have an assortment of sizes to match varying thickness of leather and still get a tight connection. I hope to get a sewing machine the same day pigs take flight. LOL

Thank you EricLuther

Please could you tell me why sowing would make a difference to using Chicago Screws?

Kind regards

Because you have to screw them in with a screwdriver and you can't do that if you can't reach the beck :)

Rivets would be doable but a lot easier if it had been done before sewing it,

Or, you could grab a small offset screwdriver from the hardware store if you really wanted Chicago screws?
