    Very creative but I'd be afraid that it would be too easy for someone to snatch something out of my purse. Cute purse by the way!

      I AGREE! Also too difficult to get at it quickly to protect it if someone is trying anything. That is why I always buy purses with 3/4 length straps. They fit in close under my arm and I know it is protected.
