The strap is convertible. In such a cool way. It just slides through the rings to become a cross body or shoulder bag. I absolutely love the style. Chic Michael Kors shoulder bag. Features sleek black leather. Gold chain strap adds elegance. In excellent like new condition. Used twice for a week at a time. It's just a tad too small for me to carry everything I want. I wish I could keep it because I love the strap design and got compliments from strangers the few times I did wear it.
