I love Lilly and this is my first less-than-stellar review. The gold buckle is super cute, but it is clanky and LOUD. You would probably disturb people if you used this bag in a situation where it is supposed to be super quiet such as the golfer teeing off when watching a gold tournament, a live play, or at a quiet somber event like a funeral, or even an important meeting. When I am not even walking--just sitting there wearing it--everytime I barely move it sounds like jingle bells. The strap lenght works for me because I'm barely 5'2" but I have to use it fully extended when wearing it as a cross body. So if taller than 5'2", you would probably be wearing this on your breasts if you tried to use it as cross body. The bag is very attractive and fine for places that are loud and you do not care if you are "jingling all the way" to announce your presence, but I do think the company should rethink this buckle. I have a plethora of purses, tote bags, backpacks, cross body bags, etc and this is definitely a first on having something that clanks loudly every time you move.
