I love this bag! I started with a Mini Cherry thinking I wouldn't want something so large, but man I was so wrong. I still love my mini, but for an everyday bag and working mom of 5 I love having everything I need or want with me. The grips on the arms really help keep the bag on my shoulders when walking around. I haven't used the strap yet, but I'm sure it's just as durable as the mini strap. I added a organizer from amazon and it's perfection. I will be adding more colors to the rotation!
