I purchased this at a JR Freight event about 5 years ago. I've used it about twice, and then stored it in the closet. The fabric is durable, and overall it doesn't show much wear, but there is some slight yellowing on the inside of the bag and on the corners due to aging. I hope to pass it on to someone who will cherish it. Please purchase only if you understand the stains, etc. The shoulder strap is removable.
