Shooting Photos of a Backpack (invisible mannequin) look

[cabbage]

Hello,
Looking to get some insight from these forums. Has anybody taken a product photo for a backpack? How do you create the invisible mannequin technique on the shoulder straps? A good example of this is CamelBak (photo attached). I have tried wires, string, all kinds of stuff but can't seem to get it to look right.

Thanks for your help!

According to Forum rules I wasn't allowed to upload the CamelBak picture but here is a link to the type of shot I'm trying to take, CamelBak | MARATHONER VEST Hands-Free Hydration System for Training

If I were doing it, I would probably just use bent coat-hangers and remove them later in post. The technique is often referred to as the invisible mannequin technique...
