The purse is so cute, the inside lining with the lined-paper print is a nice touch.
However, a lot of aspects of the attachable shoulder strap has room for improvement. For one, I dislike how it clips onto both sides (one clip on the front flap, the other on the back flap) because it makes the bag hard to stay closed. This configuration seems to make the strap pull the flaps open on both sides when I have the strap on my shoulder. I also think the strap is too long. In order to have it at hip level, the adjustable buckle is at the top part near my shoulder. This means there’s a lot of extra material, and I’ve found myself accidentally putting my arm through the circle of extra fabric instead of the main loop. Now I’m short (5’2”), but I don’t think this much length in the strap would be needed even if you were 6’0”, as this purse would be a bit awkward to wear as a cross-body. On the plus side, I am surprisingly impressed with the texture of the ‘vegan leather’.
Overall I love the bag despite these minor issues I have with the strap. The shipping was fast (I love domestic shipping!) and I think the price matches the quality of the bag’s materials and craftsmanship.
