I had this bag for about 12 years. I use it for travel and love it beyond words. It has seen 4 continents and about 28 countries. The strap finally started coming loose at the bottom, tried sewing it, no success, used super glue, did not stick too well..... Searched and searched for a replacement and finally found the same bag. The occasion almost called for a party! Very happy. The only negative is the new model's fabric is sort of *noisy*. Hoping after break in that will cease.
