38mm Padded Strap

After using the Grams28 171 Laptop Sling for a while, I decided to upgrade it with the padded shoulder strap, and I honestly wish I'd bought it from day one.

The 171 is already an outstanding laptop bag, but the padded strap takes the comfort to another level. When you're carrying a laptop, charger, organiser, and other daily essentials, the extra padding makes a noticeable difference, especially on longer commutes or busy days. The weight feels much better distributed, making the bag feel lighter and far more comfortable on the shoulder.

What I love most is that the padded strap doesn't just improve comfort—it also enhances the overall look of the bag. The premium leather matches the 171 perfectly, making it feel like it was always meant to be part of the design rather than just an accessory. It gives the bag an even more refined and luxurious appearance.

If you've already invested in the 171 Laptop Sling, I'd say the padded shoulder strap is an essential upgrade. It's one of those accessories that seems simple, but once you've used it, you won't want to go back. Another fantastic addition from Grams28 that perfectly complements an already brilliant everyday carry setup.
