Myra Genuine Leather Shoulder Bag for Women - Stylish Brown Crossbody Purse with Adjustable Strap | Perfect for Work, Travel & Everyday Use

A friend of mine was given this bag by a customer of hers, as a thank you. I fell in love with the look of it. Finding it on Amazon was a large surprise, and I ordered it immediately. I love the hair-on-hide look--- this not the only item with hair-on that I have among my home furnishings.The straps are the right length, sturdy, but not exceptionally bulky (more about them below). The large external open pocket is a different color hide from the body of the bag on that side, but not unattractively so. I figure this will last several years before I wear the hair off the hide, at which point I might be ready to turn it into a chair cushion. I mean, why not? It zips closed already, and a 15x15 pillow form would fit inside. No sewing required for that repurposing! Should the straps break before that time, I take the bag to a saddler to replace with sturdy reins. All in all, I'm happy with this bag. It suits my casual, somewhat rural/suburban, lifestyle. On my Myra bag, the metal fittings seem to be made of brass or a brass finish, dull not shiny.My only criticism of the bag is the material used for the two straps. Actually, they look/feel like thick felting instead of leather. I figure the longevity of the bag depends on the durability of the two straps, subject to sweaty palms, body oils, and the weight of bag contents. It will be easy enough to replace those straps in future--so I do not knock off a star in my rating. The bag itself should last a lifetime. Note my three photos attached include a view of the straps, with the D-ring giving easy access to my keys; and then views of both sides of the bag, first on a loveseat with pillows, and on the sofa (seat covered by a very large hair-on brown-spotted-cow-hide) with another hair-on pillow against the sofa arm. Considering how adaptable this Myra bag is, you get your money's worth . I enjoy using it.
