This is absolutely what I needed and what I was looking for. I would have given this 5 stars, however, it smells strongly of mildew/mold. I live in the pacific northwest and any mildew is scary as it can spread. I like the strap so much I kept it. I've wiped it with peroxide (bleach will not kill mold/mildew) and keep my purse in the kitchen with the strap exposed. The moldy smell is diminishing and it's beginning to smell only like leather. A few more weeks and it might be ok.
