The straps suck. Once you have all your supplies loaded in, it doesn't take long for the straps to tear out. I received two of these, one I bought and one I received as a gift. Within the first month of the semester one of the bags was toast. I still have the second bag but the shoulder strap busted on that one too. This semester Im getting another Martin Softside Portfolio. My original is about 15 years old, very durable and stuffed with art. In short, don't buy this. Get something quality. And if you're a student, be sure to look for one thats large enough to hold your drawing board.
