After reading the reviews I decided to buy this bag, universally people thought it was good quality and attractive. But the reviews lead me to have 2 reservations.
1. Was the strap to long, would I need to get it shortened
2. Was it going to be to 'floppy'
Forstly I would like to agree with others the leather is fantastically soft and it is great quality and appears durable.
As far as the two reservations see below:
1. Was the strap to long, would I need to get it shortened
No, I have no idea what people are talking about. I have not even adjusted needed to look at adjusting the strap it hangs at an appropriate height how it was set when it came out of the packaging and I could shroten it by about 4 more inches. Some one of less than average heigth would have no issues
2. Was it going to be to 'floppy'
If you want a stiff bag then by one of the Viosconti's they are perfectly reasonable if you want a softer bag that shapes to your body and wants to be touched by a soft floopy bag. It is in the eye of the beholder. I much prefer this style and when it is has items in it its shape is fine. I do not carry it when things are not in it strangely. But even then I think its shape would be fine.
Have fun.

Product Description
Style: Pedro by Ashwood.
Leather: Antique. This Ashwood product is made from the finest leather which has a satisfyingly weighty feel about it and a fashionably floppy, slouchy accent. Leather items may have wrinkles, scars, markings that are inherent characteristics and natural beauty of the hide. This is strong, high quality leather with plenty of kudos; note the simple yet effective cross stitch on the front panel. Antique leather has a soft supple texture, a gently grained surface and a superb finish. Each bag has a long adjustable strap which is made from hardwearing polyester (except Dark Brown which has a leather strap). There is a sliding leather shoulder pad for comfort when carrying heavy loads. There are plenty of pockets for the storage of contents and the bag has good capacity for document wallets, files and folders up to A4 size. Can hold up to one large lever arch file. Whilst there is no specific padded laptop compartment, this bag is strong enough to hold a laptop up to 36x27x7cm. A nifty interior strap keeps contents in place.

Excellent looks size but weak weak build. I only used the prout since unbox in for less than a week and the leather is peeling away. It looks like ugly spots because of the contrast.If it was a strong leather build it would mark naturally on leather and make it looks vintage and even makes it more beautiful. But not this product. It peels away easily and very very dissapointed
