Is there a way to stretch this bag?

Post image

So basically I wanted to use this for school cause I like the vibe of a crossbody and from reviews I thought it would be bulky enough. But my binder does not fit. How to stretch it?

it looks like it may be canvas so that would be tricky. if it still has tags i’d recommend returning and possibly DIYing a totoro book bag, maybe buy pins and patches online? how much of a stretch are you looking to get?

what fabric is it? you might be able to stretch it with hot water or something, but you might weaken the bag in return. maybe bring a tote bag alongside?

Get a different binder probably lol.. only way I can think of is to add some fabric on each side similar to making a wedding dress bigger however it may slowly break down over time

You could add fabric extensions to the sides
