Had a hard time picking the color because the brown is a bit darker than what I would usually go with, but it's actually much lighter in person almost tan/khaki. I love the lining is has a spot for a laptop and two little pockets for other goodies, and it's very soft. The extra pockets are all buckle with snap closure which makes it much more practical to use. The pullstring has a cute little slip to fit into so it doesn't come loose and all your things are very secure, along with another button closure, perfect for when you're out and about don't have to worry about someone getting into your things. The leather is thick and sturdy, seems like it will hold up for a long time, excited to see how the color changes over time. Definitely a good purchase if you're looking for a lifetime leather bag for traveling or for work! Wish the pictures on the site were more true to color because this doesn't match any of my other leather stuff, but doesn't take away from it being a well-made and super cute bag.
