Bag handles

Customize or repair your bag with our collection of bag handles

Want to give your handbag a new life or personalize it to your taste? Our collection of bag handles offers a wide selection of styles to fit every need. Whether you're replacing a worn-out handle or changing how you carry your bag, these accessories are essential for combining comfort and aesthetics. In leather, chain, resin, or wood, every handbag handle is designed to fit your bag while expressing your personal style.

What is a bag handle?

A bag handle is the part that lets you carry a bag by hand, on the shoulder, or in the crook of your arm. Attached to either side of the handbag, it serves both a practical and aesthetic role.

Unlike a long crossbody strap, a handle offers a more direct grip and comes in various shapes, materials, and lengths depending on the bag style and the look you want. It's an essential accessory for guaranteeing a comfortable hold while adding a polished finishing touch to your favorite bag.

What are the carry styles with bag handles?

The carry style depends directly on the length and shape of the handle:

• Hand carry: with short, structured handles — ideal for refined or structured bags. The bag is held in hand or in the crook of the arm.

• Shoulder carry: thanks to longer, more flexible handles, the bag rests comfortably on the shoulder while keeping a feminine, classic silhouette.

• Short crossbody: some medium-length handles allow a diagonal carry across the front of the body — striking a middle ground between comfort and style, distinct from a traditional crossbody strap.

What's the ideal length for bag handles?

It depends on the use and the style you're after. Here are some benchmarks:

• 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm): for an elegant hand carry or a vintage-style structured bag.

• 20 to 26 inches (50 to 65 cm): for comfortable shoulder carry without the bag sitting too low.

• 28 inches and beyond (70 cm and beyond): for freer or adjustable carry, particularly for tote bags or double-handle styles.

The best approach is to measure the drop (distance between your shoulder and the top of the bag) to choose the right handle length. Our models are available in various sizes to suit every body type and preference.

Customizing your handbag with new handles

Changing handles means completely transforming your bag's style. By opting for a gold chain handle, you can turn a classic tote into a chic evening accessory. A wooden or beaded handle adds an artisanal or vintage touch. Our handles are designed for easy attachment (with carabiners or universal clips), letting you personalize your bag in seconds based on your mood. Play with materials, colors, and shapes to create a bag that's truly yours.

How to replace or modify your bag handles?

Replacing a handle typically requires no technical skill. You simply need to:

1. Identify the attachment type: carabiner, buckle, stitching, screw...

2. Choose a compatible new handle: same length or deliberately different, with matching attachments.

3. Install the handle: a single click if it features hooks, or a few minutes if it attaches with screws or snap fasteners.

Our handles are designed to be interchangeable, durable, and elegant — extending the life of your favorite bag without compromising on comfort or design.
