This a wonderful, funky bag made of very high-qaulity lamb leather. The leather is as beautiful as that on bags that cost considerably more. The picture doesn't do it justice. The Bourbon color is marvelous--wonderfully deep and rich and with subtle variations. The hardware is also very attractive. The bag draps gracefully and never falls off the shoulder. I wear it as a shoulder bag most of the time, but the tote feature is very convenient. An outside zipper pocket, hidden by the foldover is super convenient for keys and cell phone.
