It can be challenging to display both the long strap and the body of a bag within the same scene while ensuring that all product details remain visible. Below are recommendations and examples for modelling straps. These are intended as guidelines and inspiration for complex cases. Always confirm final placement with the client.

Bags with a Single Long Strap

Crossbody bag with strap on surface 

The long strap rests on the surface near the bag without obscuring key details.

Crossbody bag with wallets on strap 

The strap is positioned as if the bag is held in hand, with wallets placed to remain visible immediately when the 3D Viewer opens.

Similar material handles and straps

The shorter strap or handle should be positioned as if carried in hand, while the longer strap is placed on the surface near the bag. Straps must not cover important design features.

Bags with Multiple Straps

Bag with strap and chain

One strap may be modelled above the bag, while the other rests on the surface or is positioned across the front side if it is short.

Bag with strap and wallets

The strap may be stretched as if the bag is hanging, with wallets facing the same direction as the bag’s front. Other straps may be placed near the bag or across the front side if short.

Strap Shape Guidelines

For aesthetic and realism purposes, long straps should generally be curled into a snail shape rather than left floating in space. This improves visual realism, as it more closely reflects how straps behave in the physical world.

Even if product photography depicts the strap hanging freely, the 3D model should follow the guideline above for a more natural representation.
