I read all the reviews before buying. You were spot on, love this bag! I was on a trip with my husband (who is rude about everything). He carried my bag (again roughly with it), got nervous, ripped the strap. No, everything is fine, very durable and sturdy material. When I got wet in the rain, my clothes were still dry. I was able to fit all of my beauty products, hygiene products, 5 bras, 12 panties, 8 outfits (trousers and tops), 2 baby wipes and sanitizing wipes and spray. The zippers are also very good. I love all the bags, my husband even said he wanted one too. Mine also says G - Favor.
