I love this purse!  I can carry it over my shoulder or, if I am going to walk around a lot, a quick pull of the straps turns it into a backpack.

I did add this to it:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/ErgoPad-Europad-Ergonomic-1-Shoulder-Strap-Pad-in-Black/dp/B001PNB6QI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">ErgoPad Europad Ergonomic 1" Shoulder Strap Pad in Black</a>

I find it holds the two straps together beautifully when I am using it as a shoulder bag, and it comes right off when I want the backpack.  Without the strap pad, the two shoulder straps kept wanting to come apart.
