Inspired by the iconography of the pre-Hispanic Moche, Chimu, and Inca cultures, Peruvian artisan Berardo Santos creates this beautiful and awe-evoking sling. Crafted from leather, the simple sling features pre-Hispanic bird motifs that are carefully tooled by hand into the material. On the backside, a ceremonial tumi ax is depicted. The bag's flap opens with a belt buckle closure, revealing an unlined interior with a faux leather open pocket on one side. This accessory drapes over one shoulder on an adjustable strap.

Very poor design. Strap which is NOT adjustable and it is way too long...”

I was really, really hoping to like this messenger bag. But the leather is extremely (and I mean extremely) stiff. Definitely not soft leather. But the major problem is that the strap is so unnecessarily long that the bag is essentially unusable. The strap is 60 inches long. That is a five foot shoulder strap! And it is NOT adjustable. Seriously? The bag is only a few inches off the ground when it is on my shoulder and it is very cumbersome. Unless you are seven feet tall, I would NOT buy this. The only way I can use this is if I take it to a shoemaker and pay and have the strap shortened. But I dont know if I will do that since the leather is so stiff. I am extremely, extremely disappointed. This was a total waste of money. I wish I had not bought this. Novica should talk to the artist and have him redesign the strap. The current strap design is a total FAIL. I recommend that you buy something else.

NONE!
