I ordered this to be able to utilize the backpack function for my Gemini mini. It gives a little extra room and it is comfortable. My other reason is that I don’t have to remove it to use for the crossbody function. I have the original strap for the crossbody/shoulder bag use. I purchased this strap in the Merlot color.

I purchased the XXL strap in almond for my grey striped Gemini, with the original strap it was snug on plus size figure, Size 16. I have put the new strap on it fits me perfectly as a backpack.

This is a must have if you are curvy and planning to wear your Gemini as a backpack. It gives the just the right amount of length and the quality is amazing!

Doesn't match my bag...

Just received my Gemini. The bag is beautiful and nicely made. Although I am disappointed that there isn't much room for my 17" laptop and the padding for the laptop is very minimal. I struggle to get it into the sleeve and once the laptop is in the sleeve you will no longer have room for your XL cups. I had to watch a video to figure out how to use the shoulder strap that comes with the bag to convert the Gemini into a backpack. Thankfully the video helped accomplish that. I will probably be ordering an extra strap to be able to use as a shoulder or cross body bag without having to remove the straps setup for the backpack. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I purchased the black Gemini with the blue (reminds me of Tiffany) lining with the silver hardware. The bag is beautiful. I also purcahsed the Orchid Pink Gemini as a gift for my daughter who is a 4th grade teacher. Hopefully she'll love it :)

Love it but it’s very heavy.

I love the color I like the longer strap. This came very quickly. I got it before I got my bag.

My wife loves her new bag! Thank you for such a high quality product!

I'm happy with the purchase of the xl strap for my bag. It is long enough for me to use the bag as a backpack even with a coat on for this plus size women of a certain age unlike the strap that was included with the bag. I think the option should be given of which strap to get when purchasing the bags in the future. Glad the option of a longer strap is available. Thanks for listening to your customers request.
