Review on πŸ‘œ Beacone Adjustable Crossbody Handbags & Wallets with Shoulder Strap, Ideal for Women - Stylish Crossbody Bags by Vijay Patel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Function over shape for bags and purses

This review is for the Beacone adjustable wide purse/bag strap versus the CTopoGo branded strap. I first bought CTopoGo (CTG) because I knew the hardware color wouldn't work. doesn't match my bag, but the strap design still suits my taste and bag color. The Beacon (B) appeared in my buy recommendation after I received CTopoGo and it offered matching color hardware.1. Strap B is narrower and shorter than the CTG. This makes the shoulder seat a little more uncomfortable. The buckle (which slides to shorten/lengthen the strap) rests on my shoulder or collarbone at the right length for cross-body wear, which also reduces comfort for long, medium to heavy wear (I use a bag for every job : some stationery and wallet = medium or camera bag = medium to heavy depending on number of lenses I carry).2. The B spring clasps are slightly smaller than the CTGs, making them difficult to fit through the grommets on the bag, but it takes a little patience, time, and care. I might add a carabiner O-ring later as well.3. The texture of the canvas strap and stitching are also rougher than the CTG.4. The price below the CTG band is a plus. However, I leave it as it is, because it still fits the hardware in terms of function and color. See ASIN B07R9VZ8CP for CTopoGo wristband.
