I was influenced by an ad, but seriously this is one of the best purchases I’ve made. The strap actually doesn’t hurt me at all, even with a bunch of stuff in it! That was a problem I was having with other bags, the strap would dig into my shoulder and I’d have to switch shoulders repeatedly. I also went to a music festival this past weekend and when it was raining, the bag and all my contents were in perf condition!! I also purchased the chain from the website and omg it’s so genius to be able to add charms. I added things like my earplugs, a lighter holder, etc and so it can actually be pretty functional lol. I’ve also love never losing my keys bc it’s just in my bag and easy to find now. Love love love this bag and I’m sooo happy I got it!
