When I received this portfolio I was really excited, it is one of the nicest I have ever seen and the leather is really nice quality. I have been using the portfolio for about month and just this week I was very disappointed when as I walk down the street the shoulder strap came apart. I admit that I do carry larger law books at times but I really expected a portfolio of this quality to have a better strap. There is no way to repair the strap because the metal portion of the clip broke. The portfolio itself is great and I have gotten lots of compliments on how nice it is. I haven't contacted Samsonite yet but plan to and hope they will replace the strap. I would give this portfolio five stars without a doubt if the strap had not broken.

As an update, I contacted the portfolio maker and they sent me a new strap within days with no issues. I love this leather portfolio and I get lots of great comments when I'm carrying it.
