This was perfect for my 16 year old who doesn't really like to carry a purse. I have been trying to get her to carry one for about 3 years now. So when she said she would carry a cross body purse, I hurried to order this....12/9/15 UPDATE- I bought this cross body bag in July 2015. Already the strap is broken. I was caring this bag, my daughter had the other one that I ordered because she liked that one more. I only used it for the days I had classes so that I wouldn't have to carry one of my much larger bags and a backpack. So it wasn't used daily.
