Fossil Women's Parker Leather Convertible Backpack Purse Handbag for Women

First off, the bag was everything I dreamed! I've had my eye on this bag for weeks and was so excited to try out the cross body function. There was a small strap near a metal clasp on the backpack strap that broke when I tried to unfasten the clasp to reposition the bag straps. It could have just been I was too forceful with it or a weak spot in the sewing since it split at the sewing/seam work. I did return for a full refund and am going to re-order. I don't think this was to speak to the quality, but perhaps a mistake in construction which I'm sure happens from time to time.Everything else seemed perfect. Zipper was a good quality and the hardware beautiful. Loved the hidden zipper and the slotted pocket on the back of the bag. Truly a well rounded bag!Cons: while I personally don't think there are many I do want to be objective as well. I noticed immediately the bag doesn't seem as big as the pictures make it out to be. Its not as as deep as I thought. I thought it was going to be a little taller. For me the size works. But in case you're looking for a deeper bag the large backpack version may be a better option.I had seen other reviews about the magnetized closure on the front pocket being flimsy and I agree. For the price of the bag it could be far stronger. Its not a concern for me since I won't keep anything valuable there, however, I did have to work a little bit to make sure the magnet closure was in place and it did easily detach. Now, in some cases that may not be a bad thing for getting in and out of the pocket quickly, but not great for security and making sure things stay in the pocket with movement and use of the bag.Overall my first impression was great, although slightly disappointed. I'll update my review when my re-order comes in.Update: The bag was reordered and came in about 5 days. I unpackaged the bag and began to undo the straps which I initially had issues with. The first strap was fine but then the second strap did the same thing as the first time. It was near a metal fastener that holds the strap together and the leather piece broke as I was trying to unhook it from a slit made in the leather. Again it looked like it was on a seam and that it was particularly weak where it was stitched together. It's also very possible that the area this piece is located is more vulnerable because of that fastener that is there. I've uploaded some pictures to show how it looks and the area that I particularly had issues with.I was debating on keeping it anyhow since I mostly wanted to use this as a crossbody bag, as previously mentioned. I attach the straps from hooks that are placed on the inside of the bag. After doing that I realized that unless you are very thin this doesn't work very well as a crossbody bag. The straps are just too short. I even thought of connecting both straps to make it longer but it just looks strange. I loosened the strap as far as I could and it did not give me much more length. If you were going to use this bag it would be best used as a backpack, tote, or a shoulder bag. I planned on using this more as a crossbody than any of the other options although I loved that it was a backpack as well. I'm pretty disappointed that it doesn't function as a crossbody bag as it was marketed for. Also, as I mentioned in the previous review it was a little smaller than I'd hoped. Overall, I think it's a beautiful bag and the quality is beautiful aside from that piece that seems prone to breaking. If you're planning to use this as a backpack mostly then this would be a good buy for you. Unfortunately, I will be returning it and looking for something more suitable for my needs.
