Review on Buddy Fashion Women's Handbags & Wallets with Drawstring Crossbody Shoulder Strap by Tonya Connors

The color is darker than the photo , although I ordered a medium color. Very cute but smaller than in the photo. Perfectly paired with linen pants, a black t-shirt dress and bright prints on sheer wraps or scarves, it's a neutral style and can look both boho and effortless. The tortoiseshell handle is very cute and nice to carry as a handbag. Secure the fabric lining with a durable vinyl lining in the interior zip pocket for money, pills, credit cards. Meets all my needs. Other than that, the shoulder strap is a nightmare. There is no loop holding the double piece together when you adjust the length of the strap so every time you put it on and take it off the bag twists and the stiff strap gets twisted. This issue with the strap over the hard vinyl clasp makes me fumble a bit every time I need something out of the bag, it takes too long to access and fasten, especially when trying to pay it out. I now only use it without a strap and only when I'm going somewhere I'm going to sit and I don't have to open it up much. I like the flat vinyl floor as I'm not worried about it getting dirty or wet when I put it on. Although the flat bottom makes it difficult to use on the shoulder. I'm giving it a 5 because it's so cute, a 4 for the design, a 2 because it's more of a fashion accessory than a practical bag, but only a 1 because it's awkward to use. Overall 3 stars are fair.
