leather bag repair

I have a leather bag with a grommet design on the strap: (Picture here).

One of the grommets popped out a couple of years ago and I never got around to getting it fixed. It seems to have a 3/8" diameter on the inside and 1/2" diameter from edge to edge. I brought it last week to Jimmy's Shoe Repair in Central but they told me that they didn't have anything that size.

It also seems like it could/should be something that I could fix myself, but the internet only wants to sell grommets to me in 100+ batches. That's an option, I guess, because if I lost one I probably will lose more.

That does, however, seem like a pretty drastic step if only because I am hopeless at all things DIY. Is there anywhere locally that might be able to fix this?

Thank you!

Try a local google search for leather coat repair places. They would use a wider variety of grommets than a shoe place would, I think.
