I love this bag but if you are considering you should realize that it is a very heavy bag.  My shoulder does start to hurt after carrying it for an extended time, and I don't carry much:  small wallet, cell phone, house keys, nail file and clipper.  That's about it.  So the weight is mostly bag probably from all the hardware.  But I still love it.  If the shoulder strap were about a foot longer then I could wear it cross-body a bit and relieve my shoulder a little bit of the time.  Oh well.  The compromises we make for style.
