It's difficult to find a purse that is the color in person that it is on the screen, but this one arrived looking exactly like the picture.  I wanted a taupe-y color that was not too yellow or brown and this is it.  It is "pleather" and if you get too close it definitely looks like "pleather" but other than that it is a nice purse, not too big, not too small--just right for my cell phone, a thin walled and keys (I have a lot of keys).
