"I purchased this bag almost exactly 2 years ago and haven't switched out purses since. I love that it has the cross-body strap option and it is large enough to fit a binder, ipad, and various other work essentials all at once. It has held up exceptionally well as I use it every day and pack it to the gills frequently. Only downside (and I don't even care)- the chain strap does make some noise. My husband hates that, but I don't even notice. I love this bag so much I am going to purchase another color!"
