text: Strap broke 2nd week in use. Never had this happen to any purse I have ever owned let alone one specifically purchased for 'security' of the steel straps. The strap was so weakly sewn to the body of the purse the threads came apart and the purse fell from my shoulder onto the sidewalk. This is not a large purse so I was not carrying much inside it. Would have been better off carrying one of my normal everyday purses.
