Real leather shoulder bag bought directly from Portland Leather online. When this style came out, I bought both sizes, and I like the medium best for my daily use. This bag holds more than you think it would without bulk or being heavy. The strap will detach so you could add an after market strap, if you would like to carry crossbody . There are no imperfection in the leather and pebbling is even. I carried it just a couple of times to try it out. It has been in the original box with tissue paper in my closet since.
