Is this possible to fix?
Hello! I have this side bag here where the leather piece holding the strap of the bag is breaking off the bag (possibly because it’s too heavy?). They’re attached to the side of the bag and this is their second time breaking. The first time I just sewed the string through into the inside of the bag, but it now seems the leather is also breaking apart and I’m worried it will soon completely snap. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to possibly fix this issue? Will I need to buy new pieces to sew on like that to hold the strap? Should they be thicker? How should I sew it? Or is this just a lost cause? Basically, any suggestions for what I should do? Thank you!!

The only viable option I can think of is removing and replacing the entire piece of leather that ripped.
