Shipping & Returns
We ship Mon-Thursday and some Fridays. Please know USPS and UPS often say "delivered" but it takes an additional day or two for the package to actually BE delivered --yes, it's annoying! We have to deal with this every single day, this is not in our control.
On US Federal Holidays no mail moves - you *may* see a label print, but it will leave the next mailing day.
Here is our detailed shipping policy.
Please keep shipping insurance (Package Protection) in your cart. If you take it out, you will have to file your own claim with USPS or UPS.
👉 PLEASE DO NOT FILE A CLAIM OR A CHARGEBACK ON MISSING PACKAGES!!!!! THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT PROCESS. EMAIL US FIRST. help@sewhungryhippie.sbs
Did you know we will send a return label to you for returning items? When people "refuse" a delivery, it costs us triple the original postage to claim the parcel back. PLEASE DO NOT do this! EMAIL US or call us so we can handle it. Our contact page is here.
PRE ORDERS ship as stated in the listing -- usually these take some time to arrive. IF YOU COMBINE in stock items with a preorder they will ship TOGETHER at one time. If you file a chargeback on a preorder I will ban you from my website for the rest of time. I've only had to do this once, but it is totally rediculous to make up a story about arrival times when it is NOT in my control. WE DO NOT HOLD BACK items- there is NO ROOM or time to do this. I've stayed until midnight shipping preorders because they arrive at 5pm, just to get them out the door. BE COOL or be banned for life.
We do NOT cover import fees or duties if shipping out of the USA. Tariffs/duties have NOTHING to do with our company, we have no control over them.
If we made a mistake on your order OR if something arrives damaged, email us so we can fix it. The Sew Hungryhippie team strives for perfection but sometimes things happen. Thank you for your grace. help@sewhungryhippie.sbs
Returns are accepted for damaged items and we will send you a return label. Returns for any other reason are accepted within 14 days (30 days for international) at YOUR return shipping expense, and will be processed with a restocking fee of 10% to cover Shopify cc fees.
Thank you for supporting my small business! YOU have made a huge difference in my family's life and I think about it every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sew a leather strap with a regular home sewing machine?
Yes. It's designed to sew on a standard home sewing machine. Use a leather or denim needle (90/14 or 100/16), a 3.5–4mm stitch length, and a walking foot or Teflon foot for the smoothest results.
Do I need rivets or hardware to attach it?
No. The strap is fully sewable, so you stitch it straight onto your bag without rivets, D-rings or special tools.
How long, wide and thick are these straps?
They're 45" long, 1.25" (31.75mm) wide and about 1/8" thick.
What colors are available?
Dark Brown, Black and Light Brown.
Is it real leather?
Yes. It's 100% genuine leather, not faux or bonded leather.
What bags can I use them on?
They work on tote bags, crossbody bags and structured handbags, as bag handles or shoulder straps, and on any pattern that calls for leather strap handles. They pair well with the Santorini Tote pattern.
How do I attach them?
Sew them directly into the seam. Watch this video tutorial to see how.
Do you have narrower straps?
Yes. These straps also come in 3/4" and 1" widths.
Any tips before sewing?
Test your settings on a scrap first so you can adjust the needle, stitch length and foot before sewing the strap to your finished bag.

These are my favorite sewable leather straps. I have had no trouble with them and they give that extra umph to whatever project I add them to. My Five-year-old has also started sewing and had helped me sew these into a project with ease.

I really like the way these straps made my bag look and the lady that I gave the tote to said they feel good across her shoulders. 😊
First timer with these leather bad boys and the simplicity of using them exceeded my expectations. Super easy to sew and the strength of a mama bear. 😁 I’ll be using these again and again.
These sewable straps are SO NICE!!
I love these sew in leather straps. They are soft but sturdy and very easy to sew with my vintage Singer 401A, Singer 404 or the Bernina 930. I will be ordering more.
Thanks Colleen

Making my sister in law a Santorini bag for Christmas. Will post when done
These straps are so soft on the shoulder. No breaking in, required. I will use them again, for many projects.
Beautiful leather that you can sew through on a domestic machine!
Exactly what I was hoping for! Great quality, lovely rich color. Immediately reordered!
Great for the larger bags
Saw you on you tube and loved all the options for vinyl bags . Can’t wait to experiment.
