Thank you boxermom! I appreciate your insight. I can relax now. It is the most I have spent on a bag ... as I said, I am new to BV, but I really loved the details of the bag. Do you know if the bag can be worn over the shoulder comfortably? I believe the straps are adjustable.
I don't know about wearing it on the shoulder. I only saw one in a store and didn't try it on. It always intrigued me, though, all those folds of lovely BV leather
