The bag is what I expected. First thing I did was remove the charms, they are more appropriate for a 8-12 year old. However once they are gone, the bag is very nice.  The size allows me to carry anything and everything I want, so far it's very durable with no cracking or peeling anywhere.  The color is true to what is displayed while ordering. It is easy to see that it's not real leather when you look closely. It's great for casual/everyday use.
