So so cute and well designed.  I have to carry my purse on my right shoulder.  Im just too old to change my ways!  I debated returning it but I did.  I got the satchel instead which is pretty close to perfect.  We kayak and camp so so much I needed a purse to withstand the elements.  I could have dealt with it but comfort with what Im used too is too important to me.  I was bummed because I love the rope on this bag!!  Great return policy enabled me to order both and return the one I decided that would work best for me.  You could carry it on the right like a guitar case, if that works for you.
