Great looking bag!  My wife is a Dooney & Bourke fan.  When I first saw the bag my first thought was "My wife would like that."  Now I know why.  I think you nailed it.  I love the bleed knot detail on the straps too.

Thank you! I love their bags too. I like the contrast in trims vs leather for the body of the bag. I just need to figure out what to put in etween the strap to keep it from stretching and give it a thicker appearance. I used Bontex which keeps it from stretching..but it makes edge painting harder. People have suggested webbing..but I’m not sewing on either side of the strap..just the middle.
