This is my first time buying a Dakine item, and I am pleasantly surprised with it overall. The tote appears to be made of very high quality and beautiful colors (I got the Twilight Floral). I bought this to use for trips or days when I don't want to carry a regular heavy purse. My only complaint with this (and why I marked it down a star) is that the strap when used as a crossbody is very short. I am 5'7" and the top of the tote sits high on my waist near my ribcage. Normally a crossbody bag would sit lower on the hip. Perhaps this is more of a personal preference, but I'm not sure if I will like it once there's items inside hitting my waist. If the strap wasn't attached on one end I could switch it out with a longer strap from another bag I have, but that's a no go. Dakine needs to consider taller people needing longer straps. Otherwise its a great tote.
