How Do I Shorten My Hermes Evelyne TPM Strap?

If you own a Hermes Evelyne TPM bag, you might have encountered the issue of having a strap that’s too long for your liking. Fortunately, shortening the strap of your bag is a simple process that you can do at home with just a few tools. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through how to shorten your Hermes Evelyne TPM strap.

Tools You’ll Need

Before we dive into the steps, let’s first gather the tools we’ll need:

  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread
  • Tape measure or ruler
  • Sewing pins or clips

Step-by-Step Guide

Now that we have our tools ready, let’s start shortening the strap of our Hermes Evelyne TPM bag:

Step 1: Determine How Much You Want to Shorten Your Strap

The first thing you need to do is determine how much shorter you want your strap to be. Measure the length of the current strap and decide how much shorter you want it to be. Mark this length on both sides of the strap with a pin or clip.

Step 2: Cut the Strap

Using scissors, cut off the excess length of the strap on both sides. Make sure to cut evenly and follow the markings you made in step one.

Step 3: Create New Holes for Buckle

After cutting off excess length from both sides, create new holes at equal distances from each other using scissors or any pointed object available with you. Make sure that these holes are spaced evenly so that your bag sits comfortably on your shoulder.

Step 4: Sew the End of Your Strap

Fold over the end of the strap where you cut it and sew it securely using a needle and thread. This will prevent the strap from fraying and will also give it a clean finish.

Step 5: Re-attach Your Strap

Once you have finished sewing, re-attach your strap to your bag’s buckle. Make sure that it is attached securely and adjust the length to your desired fit.

Conclusion

Shortening the strap of your Hermes Evelyne TPM bag is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. With just a pair of scissors, needle, and thread, you can have a perfectly-fitted bag that’s comfortable to wear. Just make sure to measure carefully before cutting and sew securely to prevent any accidents.
