For one simple reason - TIMES ARE BAD... simple as that.
This bag may look ordinary, but it's useful to me as it can stuff quite a number of stuff in it. Furthermore, it was a complimentary gift!!
So when recently, the adjustment buckle or fastener gave way due to crack in the piece that holds the strap. I decided to do something like this (as pictured below).
By removed the buckle, that supposed to snap the straps together, that was meant for a waist pouch, I decided to use it as a replacement for the adjustable fastener for the carrying strap instead.
Anyway, not the first time that repair job is being done on this bag, as months ago, the lousy material of the "hook" had made way to allow this metallic ring to hold the strap to the end of the bag.
I would say in times like this, one really have to think hard to be prudent and not being perceived as a miser.
It all looks far too complicated for my feeble technically challenged brain to understand but as someone who has repeatedly repaired his own bag for sentimental as well as economic reasons I applaud your ingenuity, Pohui!
