Part of a messenger bag (5)

I believe the answer is:

strap

(Other definitions for strap that I've seen before include "Length or loop, of leather perhaps" , "punishment in school" , "Parts of a long piece of leather" , "Elongated leather strip" , "Strong band for binding luggage etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
