1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware. The cheap hardware on this bag broke within 3 months!
Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2021
I love this bag. However, after only 3 months of use, the hardware connecting the straps to the bag broke. I use this bag to carry a wallet, keys, and other small items. Nothing I use it for is heavy (I don’t carry around any laptops or tablets and frankly would imagine the hardware for the strap would break a lot sooner if I had!). I also am very careful with this bag as it was expensive. I don’t tug on the strap or do other weird things. The company uses cheap materials. For the price of this product, I expect way more. What a rip off. I’ll never buy Fossil products again.
