I searched forever to find the *perfect* wallet, and was skeptical about purchasing one online. I'm happy I did. The color (sky blue) is exactly as shown and there's TONS of room inside for ID, credit cards, membership cards, healthcare cards, virtually anything you need to have with you at all times. I loaded up almost all of the slots plus put photos, etc in the slip pockets, and it still snapped shut without any trouble. I really like that the paper money section has a zipper PLUS the coin section is also zippered inside the zippered part! The strap arrives separately in the box and you have the option of adding it or not. The leather is a little stiff, but I think time and use will take care of that one, minor detail. I really do love the quality of the leather, the roominess, the construction of the wallet and the color is gorgeous. I wouldn't hesitate to gift this to someone.
