Adding cross-body strap to bag?

[mbcdefg]

Hi! MM lurker here with a question:

I've been looking for a bag to take with me on flights as my personal item - something with a lot of pockets for organization. I've had my eye on the Lo & Sons OMG bag but I really don't want to spend so much.

I was browsing in TJ Maxx today and came across this Tutilo bag, marked down to $50: www.tutilo.com/everydaybags/rush-hour-dome.html#.VwQmq_krKUk 

It fits all of my criteria (interior and exterior pockets, good size, a slip to go over my carry-on suitcase handle), except it doesn't have a cross-body strap. I really prefer this option when I travel so the bag isn't sliding down my arm.

Is there any way I could have a strap added to the bag? I don't see a place on the bag for the metal rings, but is that something a seamstress could do? 

I know that the easy solution is to find a different bag, but I've been looking for a while and this is the first one I've really liked.

Hmm, I suppose you could have a strap added, but I'm not sure it would hold up with use as connection points should be reinforced... One thing you could maybe do is take a removable strap from another bag and see if you can hook it on the existing handle connectors diagonally. This might work and allow you to convert it to a cross-body when needed. What do you think?

I have a LV wristlet that I bought a crossbody strap for on etsy. Mine already had the metal ring on each side for the strap (I just removed the wristlet strap).

Here's the shop where I bought mine, they were great to work with:

From the looks of the bag it doesn't look like it would be super hard for a seamstress could sew some rings with reinforcement underneath zipper area and the you attach the strap you want.
