The color on this is just perfect. A deep, rich grape color, with a soft leather-like texture. The seams, zippers and rivets all feel sturdy. The interior fabric is soft to the hand and of a tight enough weave that it should wear well. Overall, very high quality construction. My only concern, and it is very slight, is that the decorative buckles are a bit heavier than I would like. However this seems to be a positive indication of having used higher quality materials in making this bag. I have never purchased a 'vegan leather' bag before so durability is something I am concerned with. I have only been using this bag for 2 weeks. So far, so good. I am usually a little hard on the items I use, and if the fabric was flimsy, it would already be showing signs of wear. It still looks like new. I have high hopes for this bag. If it disappoints, be sure that I will update.
