I originally ordered the coffee and it was a beautiful rich color, but a bit darker than I was looking for. I wanted a cognac color so I returned it and ordered the brown. Ends up the brown is two-toned which I totally didn't expect since it's not clearly pictured that way. If I didn't need it tomorrow I'd probably return it again for the coffee color. The top flap of the bag is the color I was hoping the whole thing would be. Also, it is a little thinner than I was expecting but I think it will fulfill its purpose.
