@me 100% resonance here! When I have a good bag, and I know where all my things are in it, it is very difficult to switch.
Are the snaps something that a skilled sewer could possibly replace?
You could still go look at the bag that you might replace it with, and if you didn't like it, you could try to find something you like. I know that takes a lot of spoons, though. All my best!
Yes the strong attachment to something like that, and the anxiety that comes with might having to replace it both resonate.

For the bag, check out if there is a repair cafe near you to see if the can help.

Or if you have a sewer or leatherworking friend, they might be able to replace the snaps.
@arisummerland I imagine they'd be difficult to replace. It's a canvas bag, but the snaps are behind a thick leather backing that would probably need to be unstitched from the canvas first.
Honestly, if it could be repaired, I would 100% prefer that option, especially since apart from the snaps, the bag is in otherwise excellent condition. It's impressively well made.
