Just got this a few days ago and it is beautiful… has a lot of compartments. I have business meetings and need something to carry my portfolio and appointment book in. it is very light weight compared to other leather bags i have had. the leather is very soft and for now it holds it’s shape. the straps and buckles seem strong and secure. The only hang up i have with this bag right now is the shoulder strap is pretty thin so if you carry something heavy in this bag it will hurt your shoulder.
