For what it's worth, I have several original MK VIIs and several of the Magnoli reproduction bags. The repro comes out a different color (more khaki than green) but is an excellent reproduction and well worth the shipping from New Zealand. I find Magnoli's bags (as with all of his items) to be great quality and just as tough and good looking as the original. Something I cannot say for some of the other repros I've gotten.
Bag strap solution:
I have recently begun producing bag straps and whip holders myself. Here is a comparison of my strap and Todd's Costume:

Photos of the whip holders and belts coming soon. (sold all my inventory already, new shipment arrives next week)
