Thank you so much for the reply! I had heard that as well, but was still hopeful they might find a way to return to the old straps. I love this bag so much, I think I’ll take the plunge and re-buy it. It’s too beautiful to resist! And I’m sure I’ll adjust to the strapsMy CA told me that the straps were changed because there were problems with the canvas straps cracking over time. That is why they changed to leather straps, in hopes of avoiding or minimizing that problem. Not sure they will change it back if that was the reasoning as they would likely have to deal with a lot of unwanted repairs.
