"Pros: well made leather bag. fits all of my stuff (small planner, wallet, keys, cell phone) Converts easily from handbag to crossbody. No the strap does not come off, but I just tuck the straps inside the open pocket part- wouldn't even know it had the strap! Con: I bought the bag in red- and it is really more of a dark coralish/red. But I love the functionality of this bag so much that I don't even mind the color difference. I would buy this bag again!"
