Very disappointed in this item. I paid more than I usually do (got it at the Made in Oregon store) and it has broken very quickly. The sewn-in portions of both sides of the strap ripped out within a few months. Before that, the purse would routinely fall on the ground because the hooks on the strap are not secure and release easily. What a waste of money, not to mention aggravation (and complete lack of security) with my purse constantly falling on the ground after the strap disconnected repeatedly.
