I purchased this bag at a retailer. The strap broke a month into using it.  Reading the other reviews they are almost identical to my experience.  I cannot believe the tab that holds the strap connector on is so short!  I emailed the manufacturer and for the time being am using a safety pin.  One should not have to safety pin a $50 purse!  Additionally, this bag is a little too small, and the fact that it is wider on the bottom than on the top impedes its function and looks rather comical. Normally I would never a puchase a bag so pricey but I had a gift certificate.  This bag, while quite cute, really serves no purpose.  It holds very little, tightly, and  breaks on impact. Grrr!
