I ordered the lighter colored bag.  The package arrived open, but the bag was sealed in plastic.  That is probably why the bag stunk like leather dye.  I had to air it out for a week.  Now it just smells like leather.  The lining is cheap, as others have mentioned.  However it is a great little bag for the price.  Keep in mind, however, that the way it closes reduces the size of things you can put in it because it zips back to front, but your items need to be left to right  or perpendicular to the zipper.  Thus something may fit in that way but then it will not close/zip properly. It will fit a 7 inch tablet or nook color.
