When I bought this bag, it was tagged as "leather", not faux leather.  Nonetheless, had the material been quality, I would have kept it.  Instead, it is made of the thinnest "pleather", that looks as though the pattern is photographed onto the surface.  The plactic itself is very smooth, with no texture or dimension.  The use of such a lightweight material has other drawbacks than the absence of dimension.  For example, the bag is so lightweight that you can see the outline of the items inside:  the bulge of my makeup kit and the metal charms on my wallet.  Cute idea, but really cheap materials sabotaged this bag.  A quick return!
