  • Patent number: 7926525
    Abstract: Handbag or carrying case includes a body defining a retaining compartment for retaining objects and having apertures on opposed sides, and elongate straps each having opposite end regions and at least two apertures, one proximate each end region. Snap fasteners attach the straps to the first and second sides via aligning pairs of apertures, i.e., one apertures on a side of the body and one aperture on the strap. The snap fasteners may be decorative snap fasteners. Use of the snap fasteners provides for variable attachment of the straps to the body and therefore enables each user of the carrying case to position the straps as they desire.
