I really wanted this bag to work out but for me it didn't stay on my shoulder the way I would want it to. If it slides down at every turn, I won't use it - sadly, won't be keeping it.
What a shame. I don’t have this issue, but wonder if the strap will behave better as it softens with time. Brand new it is very stiff and being wide, I can see why it would not stay on. Given I am quite tiny, I am able to wear it crossbody, but both ways work on my shoulders.

Stunning! Looks amazing on you. Understated, quiet, yet still great! Did not expect the strap to look so wide though :)
 
Looks great on you. - congrats. Really my mistake, I know that wide straps don't work for me (wishful thinking because I do like this bag)

Thank you very much, both. It's a lovely bag that doesn't lean too casual and will still look polished with a more refined look than what I was wearing in the photos. However, indeed, the strap is very wide and the buckle is very prominent - to me it's an eye-catcher, makes the bag stand out and fits the clever design elements. I can see how it may be bothering if one doesn't have a preference for thicker straps. I am curious to see the strap width on the smaller version - it appears to be a lot slimmer from the pictures, but still equally wide in proportion to the body of the mini.
