This bag is much more stunning in person with all of the intricate details. I feel very fashionable and I love that I can convert it to a backpack whenever needed. The only thing I worry about is that the straps might peel eventually since that is where there is a lot of friction. They are also a bit slippery compared to the straps I see on the regular purses (the ones that don't convert to backpacks). But given the excellent thought put into all details, I'm guessing Anekke has put these straps to the test so for now I trust that they'll hold up! Fantastic value overall.
