Hmmm. Some interesting thoughts mob. I have this on order, haven't seen it in real life, and am up and down about it. I like it, then I worry it won't be right. Because it is a replacement, I'm not sure I can exchange it if I don't like it on me. Can you do some mod pics if you have time? The leather is very beautiful though and it is a gorgeous bag. How do you feel about the open top?So I tried the strap— a little thin. It’s adjustable but not suitable for crossbody. Not sure if that’s a dealbreaker.
