Do you have the Troupe carryall35 too? How do you like that one? I like the colors better on that one than the blue tote.I haven't worn mine other than around the house yet because I am still deciding. I am pretty sure I'm keeping two of them - red for sure. I plan to add rings on the inside of each end to snap the strap on. Normally I don't like handles that stick up all the time but the strap is pretty adjustable.
