Strapistry™ Carry Guide
Everything you need to install your anchors, clip on a strap, and carry your bag the way you want to carry it today. Bookmark this page — it's here whenever you need it.
Three steps and you're carrying. No tools, no sewing, nothing to return.
Push each anchor through any hole in your bag and screw it shut from the inside. Once, and you're done for good.
Snap the strap's clips onto your anchors. That's the whole install — no threading, no fumbling.
Slide the tri-glide to set your length, then wear it crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a backpack.
Jump to whichever chapter matches what you're doing right now.
Anchors are the one-time part of the setup. Once they're in, every strap and connector you own clips straight to your bag.
Each anchor pushes through any hole in a perforated tote and screws shut from the inside. No tools needed, and nothing to thread through the weave.
Bogg-style bags ship with their own factory buttons in the holes. Those need to come out before an anchor can go in.
Once the button is out, a white bushing lines the hole so your anchor sits flush and tight, the same as it would on a bag with plain holes.
With anchors installed, attaching a strap is a two-second job. Line up the clip, snap it onto the anchor, and you're carrying.
Swapping is just as fast in reverse: unclip, set the strap aside, clip on the next one.
Every Strapistry strap fits every connector and anchor you already own, so changing color is the same motion as changing straps for any other reason.
Keep a few colors on hand and match your bag to your outfit, the season, or just your mood that day.
Every strap is fully adjustable using the tri-glide slider, so one strap works for crossbody, shoulder, and backpack carry without buying separate lengths.
As a rough guide, crossbody sits shortest, shoulder carry is a little longer, and backpack carry uses two straps set to roughly the same length as each other.
Crossbody carry clips one strap to two anchors on opposite sides of the bag, then rests across your body for a hands-free carry that keeps the bag close.
This is the shortest of the three carry styles, so start with the tri-glide pulled in and lengthen from there.
Shoulder carry uses the same single strap as crossbody, but both ends clip to anchors on the same side of the bag, which shortens the loop for a classic over-the-shoulder hang.
Backpack carry uses two straps instead of one, each clipped from a top anchor to a bottom anchor on the same side, so the bag rides on both shoulders like a pack.
This is what the Complete and Convertible systems are built for. If you only own a single strap today, you'll need a second one set to a matching length to carry this way.
Three parts make up the system: the anchor that lives in your bag, the connector or clip on the end of each strap, and the strap itself. Getting to know each piece makes troubleshooting and swaps much faster.
Straps and hardware are built to be worn daily. A little care keeps them looking new.
Quick fixes for the handful of things people write in about.
Reach inside the bag, hold the back plate steady, and turn the front of the anchor to tighten it further. Anchors screw shut from the inside, so a little extra turning is usually all it takes. If it still spins freely, remove it, check that the bushing or hole isn't damaged, and reinstall.
A snug clip is normal when it's new, since it's designed to hold securely and not pop open by accident. Squeeze it fully rather than partway, and it should release cleanly. It will also loosen up slightly with regular use.
On Bogg-style bags, remove the factory button first and seat a white bushing in the hole so the anchor sits flush. If a hole is oversized or an odd shape outside of that, choose a nearby hole instead, since anchors only need one solid point to grip.
Make sure the webbing is threaded fully through the tri-glide and doubled back through the last bar, not just resting on top of it. A fully seated tri-glide grips the webbing and holds its position under normal wear.
Strapistry is built for perforated totes, including Bogg-style bags, as long as it has holes an anchor can pass through. For a full rundown of supported bags and what to check before you buy, see our compatibility guide.
