I'm a larger girl and the straps are 17" which fit over my arms fine, but if I'm wearing anything thicker than a sweater they won't fit. So anytime I go out with that bag with my winter coat on, the shoulder thing is a no go.
I'm still in love with this tote. I have it in the black and silver stripe. But if you are a smaller framed girl you should have no problems what so ever.
