I purchase this bag for my daughter (age 21), she really likes this bag.  The material is somewhat of a lightweight vinyl if I could compare it to a material. The strap is a little thin in material, not sure how well it may hold up under daily usage, but it is a nice length for wearing cross-body style.  My daughter's only complaint is- there are no inside zipper pockets. This handbag looks much better in person than in the picture.
