I have three of these. I am a hairdresser and my shoulders hurt most of the time from work. I was looking for a crossbody bag that wouldn't hurt my shoulders. I looked at the Kava bags and even tried on a couple of my friends Kava bags but the rope straps on them were just not comfortable. This bag has a nice thick padded strap that makes it very comfortable to carry all the time. I have used it daily and carried it on numerous trips. It's never hurts my shoulder no matter what I put in it. It has lots of pockets and places to store things which I love also. I would highly recommend these bags they are colorful and nice in their Manufacturing.
