How long are the leather straps? I am reading comments about the straps being too short and having to buy other ones.

The straps are plenty big enough for my wife's bike, which has standard city bike / cruiser style handlebars.

The straps are 11 inches when opened end to end and laid out flat- 1/2 that when closed.

The straps allow the basket to hang down a few inches from the bars. The straps that came with the basket worked great for us on a typical comfort style (adjustable) handlebar.

Hey,I recently bought one for a project bike im building for my girlfriend and was impressed. I agree that the baskets are kinda pricy but then again you get what you pay for. Baskets are squared off and balanced, not lopsided. It also has a piece of stained wood on the inside for more support. Straps are fine for me, you dont want the basket sagging too low but level with handle bars and it works fine for me. Hope this helped.

I have not found that it was too short. Mine fit my bike just fine. I have a cruiser type bike. My basket lays across the gear cables & brake lines just fine. Hope this helps. I am work & unable to measure the straps at this time. If you need the exact measurement re ask the question again & I will measure them

This was a gift to a granddaughter so I have no way of measuring the straps. We installed it on an antique Schwinn with rather thick handlebars and had no problem. there was still enough strap to have made it larger.

The length of the entire strap is 12in, but the length that you have for use is 11in of the actual strap. That inch difference is the part that is attached to the wrist part of the strap. These are great straps and a must have in my opinion. I have to order another set because someone with sticky fingers at the gym took mine. Hope this helps you out.

The strap is about 12 in. long. It is velcro and can be made shorter. I keep mine at about 7 in. Also, the fabric stretches.

I think the strap can extend to about 2 feet. If you need to go longer, perhaps you can buy 2 sets and join the extra straps together to get the length you need. Have a blessed Christmas season. Pete

I just ordered this bag about a month ago. The strap is about 7 inches long. It wraps around the rear bike rack and then there's a plastic belt-loop type thing the strap goes through on the opposite side of the bag. After going through the plastic loop, the strap folds back and sticks to the Velcro on it's underside. The two straps are about 1 1/2" wide and you can really pull them very tight so the bag is secure. It fits way more securely to my rear bike rack than I thought it would. I was afraid it would jiggle around and come off, but it does not. For the price, it's a great little bag. It isn't real big so be sure to notice the measurements on it.

Not sure of the exact measurement of he strap.. But I'm not a small person and I can use it as a cross shoulder. And I still have a little room left to make it slightly longer.

Information from the product website state-"Total Length: 30" fixed length with up to 12-14" additional adjustability on each side of strap"

I never got mine to work - too short & total waste. Better to go to your local REI, sports store, or even Walmart maybe to get a longer velcro strap (& trim it if need be).

I just measured ours. The sleeve is 9 inches, and the straps are 29 inches. Total length is 38 inches. My husband is around 6 foot tall, and there's plenty of extra beyond what he needs. It has been a huge help, and I strongly recommend the product.

Mine are from the middle of each strap are 7 inches, they are a thick leather strap adjustable like a belt with quite a few holes on it so that will give you a couple of inches leeway in each direction. I really like this basket it;s nice and deep, my only issue I have it it would be nice for maybe a lower strap of some sort near the bottom of the basket to secure it to the bike just for when I go over bumps it wouldn't bump away and back into the bike...I just wouldn't carry eggs in it, really beautiful basket though

We no longer have the straps, so I couldn't give you an exact measurement. If I had to guess I would say around 5 or 6 inches

Mary the strap is about 52" long and is adjusted by a plastic buckle that is very easy to use. I would recommend this bag to you. You may find it in person at BestBuy.

The straps are very adjustable. They have lots of room for lengthening. I personally think it would fit just fine.

Strap is 31 inches plus the leather tabs that attach it to purse are 2 inches on each end. Love this bag!! It's big enough yet not overpowering. Use it all the time.

Sorry, I don't know as I am away on business for the week and cannot see the straps to be able to tell. I think so but I'm a 34" inch waist.

Hello. The strap is a one size fits all. I am 5'9, 170 lbs and I had to shorten the strap so it fit correctly. One would have to unusally large or small for the standard strap not to be able to be adjusted to fit you. Also, Amazon is very cooperative regarding returns. If it does not, they will arrange for its return, although under some circumstances the buyer is responsible for return shipping.
