Very skeptical to buy this purse. Never heard of this brand until my BFF introduced me; still I was skeptical. I ended up deciding on buying this because I loved a purse my buff had given me in this shape. I loved it! It's not as huge as I expected it to be but it fit my essentials and I love the Fit of it. I couldn't stop staring at it for a couple days when is first got it. It's been a couple of weeks since I bought it and the smell of leather is still as strong as when I first opened it. I love that my daughters add their little toys in my bag. I didn't know about the strap but I added it either way just to use all of it and ithinkitgives it character even tough I don't use it often or at all. It fits my iPad, wallet, planners, makeup bag, cream perfume, knick knacks in the pockets....it's pretty roomy. I'm a new found rioni lover! The leather is beautiful, the inside lining is beautiful, the magnetic clasps and side pockets with suede! I'm in love!
