The color is gorgeous on this bag! I love how the bag slouches in the middle when you hold this top handle. I don't love how boxy the bag looks when you wear it crossbody though. I find when I wear it crossbody, it bangs into some things because of it's shape and how it sticks out. When I opened the package, my bag smelled of really nice leather and maybe slight slight chemicals, but that has went away very quickly. My bag does have a thread that is sticking out on the top handle, and I haven’t used it that much. It's not sooo noticeable, but does bother me a little. The bag is super spacious and just looks very stylish. The leather feels thick and good quality.
