I have the hipz waist bag for a couple of years for a few years however I rarely wore it. I probably didn’t wear it even 10 times total. I looked at it the other day and I saw cracks in the leather on the strap where it was hanging. I wore it for four hours the next day. Then a day or two later I wore for a few hours. It is flaking and peeling all over. I took pictures of it and sent it to the owners email. Because I’ve had it for a few years years despite the fact that I only wore it a few times they won’t do anything to make the matter right. I explained how little I wore it and that I’m an inactive person so I didn’t do any jogging or exercising or mountain climbing with this purse on my waist. I couldn’t believe how much appealed in 2 wearing‘s. They won’t stand behind the quality of the product. I wouldn’t buy it if I were you. Now I have a purse that I’m too embarrassed to wear.
