u/Fruit_ForThought

My husband went to Hermes and made our first purchase ever at Hermes for a gold Evelyne 16. I love the bag! But the strap is too short. It doesn’t work as a cross body.

I got the tape measure out and measured 35.75 inches (about 90 cm). I am confused because everything online mentions the longer strap (115 cm). And even the Amazone descriptions online mention a different color strap and this one is solid brown (gold). Did I get the wrong strap with the purse? Should I keep or return (which would be sad since I love the purse just not the strap). Thoughts?
