Good bag, critical issue with the strap

Purchased this bag in oct. 2024 and unfortunately had to return it. The bag feels well made, zipper slides well, and the size you get relative to how small it folds up is really quite nice. The simple problem is that the shoulder strap is so, so, so short. The bag just ended up totally nestled in my armpit, and it was just not comfortable enough to actually use.
This is a very sturdy and well-made bag; unfortunately, it’s significantly smaller than I was hoping. I’m guessing they used a tiny, tiny person for the size reference photo, because I felt immediately misled when I opened the package. If the capacity were roughly doubled, we’d be talking.
I've carried various packable bags over the years and this one is by far my favorite one so far. I particularly like the ability to zipper-shut the bag, which I don't see often among options of packable bags. The design is simple and clean, which I like, and the quality feels sturdy for what the product is meant to do (including traveling around). I personally keep one PD packable tote in each of my work and travel bags, respectively.
I really like the bag as I bought 3 of them. I have used it for the day recently in Zanzibar and Greece. I put the little tabs on the strap so I could carry it with my camera strap since I was using it for an all day excursion. It would be great if they could add the little cords like on the back packs so you can put the tabs and they would not slide up the built in handle.
