A month after I bought this bag the lining on the straps had come away from the leather and the stitching on the inner pockets had ripped. I loved this bag and was in denial, but finally took it back to Bloomie's. The Sales Associate told me that she'd seen the same problem with the straps on a few other MK totes, so I opted for a very similar black and tan travel bag, rather than another MK. I loved this bag, but the poor construction was a dealbreaker, even if it was a great price.
Pros - price, size (my 17inch laptop fit & still let me pack other stuff), style, interior features, strong zipper on the outer pocket (sounds silly but there were more expensive bags with much worse zippers that stuck)
Cons - not the best construction, drop on the straps could be a bit longer, binding on the straps, inner pocket stitching.
