this is the perfect bag! finally, an all leather bag that isn't going to break the bank (made in china, boo). it looks very, very bright on my ipad, which is almost what iwas going for when i ordered it, but when it arrived, it was slightly more muted, which is nice. it doesn't look like an orange traffic cone. the hardware was wrapped in tissue so it would not get scratched, and the leather is extremely soft along the sides. the woven leather is a bit harder, which is good. this is a gorgeous bag, and since orange is the new nude, i'm going to be carrying this bag for a long time! amazon shipping is so fast, too! love!
