Well, i was thinking about a shoulder strap, too... after it was finished :D I've never gotten around to actually adding one but maybe i will at some point.
Making it (not including constructing it in my mind and getting all the material and tools) took roundabout 100 hours distributed over 5 months. Sewing by hand is very slow, especially when there are places that are hard to reach and that you basically have to sew blindly just using your sense of touch.

Just a thought. What if you had a set of buckles on each side of the bag. Then when you needed a strap you could connect one to the buckle set.

Thanks! Actually most of the design choices were made purely for practical reasons (maximizing space in the bag, making it as indestructible by wear and tear as possible, three buckles to keep it shut tightly etc.), and because I wanted something clean and simple.
Btw. I decided against adding another strap, mainly because it would rub against the sides of the lids and also I wouldn't be able get my hands into the places where I'd need to make the stitches.

btw: for the first try i think you done quite well.
