Yes, this is genuine top grain leather; none of that coated split leather that we find often on Amazon. Its quite functional too! The outside side pocket can fit the card organizer it comes with or a mobile phone the size of an iPhone 8 Plus (with a case no thicker than Apples leather case) or smaller. The main zippered section can fit the phone as well. The stitching inside and out is top notch as well as the lining.

BUT... the light linen color looks gray in the photo on Amazon but is actually more of a cream color. Take note! Ive included a photo of it along with some of the brown version.
