I LOVE this bag. The leather is supple, the color is rich, the zippers function smoothly, and it is the *perfect* size.  However, the creator of this piece did a terrible disservice to it by making the strap so poorly. It has the same, wonderful leather on one side and a sandpaper-like canvas on the other. Not only does it feel terrible, but it is pretty unsightly too. Having said that, the purse itself is so wonderful that I'm seriously considering ways to find/buy/make a new strap.
