It just gets softer and softer each time I carry it. Keep this in mind if you do not like a slouchy look. I do suggest going and having a look at used ones on different sites that sell used items, to see how they look after a while. They really do become very slouchy handbags. May not be for everyone.

The hardware is a nice rose gold color and the bag is a tomatoe red that doesnt pop but blends in as a muted color with many different outfits.

If you don't own a MAB.... GET ONE. Favorite bag now for my daily bag. I cant wait to get a few more of these in different colors.
