I have used this wallet for about 8 mos. now and it has held up very well. The dark pink color appears to me as taupe, a good neutral color. It is well made with a strong metal zipper which was important because the last wallet I bought had a nylon zipper and it popped open always, so it was a waste of money. It's very roomy, it holds my Samsung s8 phone, check book, many cards, drivers license slot, large slot for dollars and receipts and a coin purse. The strap is sturdy. I'm buying another one today in a different color.
