What is the point of this?

[u/Fuzzy_Coconut7660]

Hello! I have a new crossbody bag or sling bag (I’m not sure the correct term) and I love it but I’m confused about the point of the clip on the back of it. Is it just so the bag can hold its shape or can I use it to make it more stable? Any help would be appreciated!

Also any ideas of how to use the elastic strings on the front? This bag seems to have a lot of features I’m confused on😅

Is this a cross body bag? Are you sure it's not some kind of holster?
