I saw this bag https://www.ebags.com/product/the-sak/huntley-leather-hobo/372088?productid=10747326&cat=hobos&country=US&currency=USD&ebcpkey=keywords&sourceid=ADWPRODUCTB&adtype=pla&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_bOg1ZnN5QIVuR-tBh01mw5vEAQYCSABEgJMBfD_BwE#ratings-and-reviews
at Macy's and liked it (though I'd remove the tassel), but a couple of reviews I've read say that the straps fray.

I've had that problem a lot with my leather purses (a few totes from Banana Republic, anyhow), and I'd love to find one that has long enough straps to wear comfortably over my shoulder, but something where the straps don't fray. I've even had them fray along the edges if there's stitching down the middle of the strap. So I guess I'd need something with stitching along the edges of the straps?

O.k., so now that I zoom in on the picture, it looks like there is stitching on both edges of the straps!

If you have a handbag with stitching along both edges, have you still had a problem with fraying?

Thanks! :)
