I've woven it tightly so you can attach a strap and use it as a shoulder bag. I don't think it will stretch out of shape. It's sturdy, so you can hang lots of keychains and such on it and have fun. Because it's handmade, it's listed as "like new." I hope you'll use it as a bag-in-bag, for quick trips, or as an eco-bag. You can adjust the opening of the bag with the ribbon that's threaded through. Feel free to remove the ribbon, replace it, and enjoy it as you like. Bottom size: approximately 5 x 23 cm This is a handmade item created by an amateur as a hobby, so it may not be suitable for those who prefer items with a high degree of perfection. It will be shipped in simple packaging with water damage protection. Recycled materials may also be used. Thank you for considering this item.
