My fault for not checking to  be sure that it had a cross body strap. I think all carry conceal purses should have the option of a cross body strap. If someone comes up behind you on a busy street they can easily get the bag off of your shoulder and take off running. The leather was okay, nothing special. It was well made and the gun compartment was large enough for a 9 mm Beretta and my little .380 Bodyguard. I exchanged it for a Coronado conceal carry Hobo bag. I miss the built in wallet in this bag, but the leather is so much nicer in the Coronado and the cross body strap is a must for me.
