Fell in love when I saw this bag, and wanted it for my fall wardrobe. But after using it just a week, the strap broke. Am now searching for leather repair shops to see if it can be fixed. Did not expect this as the price was not cheap, $*** to be exact. Guess I should stick with retailers I know, like Coach, never had a problem with one on their bags. Still like the way it looks, but now it is an expensive decorative piece.
