I crossed my fingers after reading other reviews and ordered as a gift. Packing was good but product surpassed my exspectation. Looks like leather. Very stylish for 20-50 yr. olds. Hard to say if runs true to size as every manufacture varies but this large would fit most any lady that normally wore large (or medium). I ordered in the black-nice.  It was on a great sale but would order again at higher price.
