Description
Most dog walking gear is built to disappear. This one is not. Deep forest green velvet catches the light differently as you move, and against a plain black bag it does the same job a good scarf does on a plain coat: it makes the whole thing look deliberate. It is the strap you clip on for the Christmas walk, the pub lunch, the photos, and then keep on because you like it more than the one it replaced.
Underneath the texture it is a properly specified strap. 4cm wide, which is the part your shoulder notices. A narrow strap concentrates the weight of a loaded bag into a thin line and starts to dig within a kilometre. Four centimetres spreads it wide enough that you can carry a phone, a water bottle and a day's treats without thinking about it.

Why it clips off at both ends
Because a sewn in strap locks you into one look forever. Clips at both ends mean this comes off in seconds and another goes on, so a single walking bag can be neutral on a Tuesday and velvet green on a Sunday. It is the cheapest way to own what feels like two bags.
Setting the length
The adjustment runs from 80cm to 135cm. Around 80cm gives you a short crossbody that sits high on the ribs, close to the body and out of the way if you are handling a lively dog. Wound out towards 135cm it drops to a long crossbody at the hip, which is the setting most taller wearers and anyone walking in a bulky winter coat will land on.
Will velvet survive a dog walk?
Fair question, and the honest answer is that it needs slightly more care than plain webbing. It is machine washable at 30 degrees, but it must be air dried only. Keep it out of the tumble dryer and the pile stays even rather than going flat and patchy.
It clips straight onto a Cocopup walking bag, and it is worth remembering the Large bag ships without a strap, so this can be the piece that completes it. Hang a poop bag holder on the D-ring and browse the rest in our dog range.
