I wanted to love this product, but I wasn't a fan of the color "Emerald." As pictured, it is a very pretty teal shade.  In person, it is almost a hunter green--very dark and not as young or fun as the teal I thought I was getting.  I also felt that the leather was so soft that, with wear over time, the pockets might become loose and allow cards to slip out.  It is a beautiful piece though, and there aren't many options out there like it.  The zipper that goes across and down the side is a big plus.  I would have exchanged for another color and kept it had the other colors not been $20 more expensive.
