An end clasp may attach to a zipper slider creating a strap loop that facilitates wearing the strap around the neck, or over the shoulder. An accessory, such as a carrying pouch, may be attached to and thereby suspended from an end clasp. Alternatively, an end clasp may attach to a zipper slider creating a strap loop that facilitates capturing and thereby suspending an accessory such as a beverage bottle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A configurable strap comprising: a first elongated strap;
