I'm very particular when it comes to quality and getting the most bang for your buck. The purse came well wrapped and package like a 3-400. competitor purse. Had silica in to keep the inside dry and a dark outer wrapping to keep the elements of sunlight from fading. The leather is beautiful and thick. The shoulder strap ( I use the shorter one) kept slipping off my shoulder, but I molded it to lay right. Need to make the strap about a 1/2 inch narrow and cut down on the padding sewn-in the handle. I had another older one that did the same thing...There are many pocket inside and out. Even the bottom had little foot pegs which I prefer that detail so your not setting your purse down on a sticky surface. I have received many compliments on it already. Love the light Gray color for summer. The main reason I bought this "soft" HOBO purse is because I can place it in my saddle bag behind me when I ride and it has some give without compromising the shape. Love every thing about about this purse except the strap which I'm sure they can fix next go around! It was not a deal breaker and I fixed it. I plan to but another purse from this company down the road. They mean what they say.....Giving you quality at an affordable price!!
