Classic large saddle bag in leather

I ordered the large saddle bag in leather. When I saw it in person the first thought I had was "this doesn't look like leather." Maybe it's vegan "leather" and I didn't read the description carefully. I looked for the tag inside and it read "cowhide leather." Unfortunately it just doesn't look like it, and ultimately the main reason I returned it. The size large is perfect for everyday essentials. The color is as expected; a dark warm chocolate brown. The shape is also as expected; it definitely has structure and shape, but it's not overly stiff. The only surprise and disappointment was that it doesn't look like leather, and that makes it look kind of cheap. I think you have to see it in person because the bag is surprisingly photogenic. I didn't bother removing all the wrapping materials from the bag (which you will see in photos) because I knew I was going to return it shortly after I saw it.

Loved the saddled bag. One issue was the inside zipper. The tab you hold to open and close comes off when you open the zipper.

I received this beautiful bag and I love It. I always admired this style. When I saw it in person I was even more in love. The leather is good quality, the strap is a great cross body. It's very roomy, all my essentials fit. It has a magnetic closure and a back pocket! My initials on it took it over the top. It didn't take long to ship, even with my initials. My coworkers all loved it too! I purchase two leather straps that are shoulder and cross body that have animal print hair to add more variety. It's all lovely. I feel like I'm wearing a thousand dollar purse!
