I ordered this purse in BLACK and did not take it out of the box until I left for vacation two weeks later.  I noticed loose threads in the strap right away, but it was the only purse I had for my trip so I used it.  After less than two months of use, it is coming apart where the strap meets the purse (a different place than where the loose threads were). Very disappointing. I tried to return it online, but Amazon said it is past the 30 day return policy.  :-(
