Members Danielvetpath Posted February 14, 2015 Members Report Posted February 14, 2015 Still working on my messenger bag. Getting close to the handle. Is there an advantage to having the handle attached with two rings rather than making a handle from one one or more pieces of leather that extend across the entire width of the bag, riveted or sewn down to form the central part that would be gripped? Thanks for any insight. Daniel Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted February 14, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted February 14, 2015 The attachment via ring does have the advantange of giving more knuckle room AND being able to 'lay down', when not being used. Other than that, I think it would be a matter of design consistency- If you have a permanently sewn shoulder strap, then I'd go with a sewn on handle. If you're using Ds to attach the strap, then Ds for the handle as well, just so everything matches.
