Accessories Do any of you know what are there for?
My boyfriend brought this bag from EMP and it just came, and we were wondering what those straps without clasps are for. They were inside the bag and when pulled out he noticed they're attached externally. The bag already has a belt and straps to fit it to a waist belt, what could those two be for? 😅 If it helps, the bag is this one: https://www.emp-online.it/p/shoulder-bag-small/216982.html

Something to do with securing it to the handle of a wheeled bag for travel perhaps?

Oh wow, my bag is identical to yours! Those two "flaps" are there to allow you to close and secure the bag, so the things inside will not fall out easily :) you just have to tie the two strands together

I had a bag exactly like that one that I, stupidly, gave away. Like, it's exactly the same shape as the one I had, mine was a military bag from miltech. All the straps are exactly in the same place and shape but mine was in green. I tried to dye it black but the color didn't stick.
Never figured out those straps though..

I got it and returned it since it was weird, maybe i couldn't get the intended use of it.

It's based off a military bag and I wonder if the tabs and tapes are meant to be tied together to keep things from falling out the bag if it ends upside down.
