Review on The Sak Ventura 2-in-1 Convertible Backpack and Handbag by Maggie Bortolussi

Really good leather and great overall concept but there are a few design flaws that make it ok. First, if you shorten the straps to carry the bag over your shoulder, they don't stay in place, so even a tall woman like me is always walking around with a bag slapping her hips instead of being comfortably hip-to lie. You basically have to use it as a backpack, and I've had a better backpack. Second, I don't have much in it: a few lipsticks, my small purse, a couple of Ikea notepads, and a handful of pens, but the bag's zipper isn't large enough for its size, so I have it constantly to check. to make sure my stuff doesn't fall out. that happened. And even a bit big. I have no idea what they were thinking with that combination of size and closure. Besides, why is the strap so casual on a bag that could look businesslike and elegant? It should have a different strap style. I love this bag but it's really a failure. Other similar bags were either too small or even bigger. I don't know why it's so hard to find a decent bag.
