The bag is brand new!! I fell in love with it at the store and HAD TO have it. The trouble is it doesnt fit a lot. A cell phone, a couple cards and maybe a chapstick. I didnt get a chance to take it as I had hoped. The pattern is a discontinued one and will never be made again, so I think you can say that makes it rare!? It comes with the strap. I hope someone to love this bag as I hoped!
