Absolutely beautiful, well made handbag! I chose the dark blue bag since the design is very structured and classic and I wanted it to pop. I am not docking any stars because of either of these downsides because the pros definitely outweigh the cons. The smell is strong for those that cant stand the leathery scent. Also, I think the bag should have been stuffed with filling to maintain its shape. It is a bit bowed on the sides but those are the only very minor cons. Aside from that, I am very happy with this purchase.
