Wow.... what a glorious bag! This leather is just fabulous; awesome pull-up, great texture, amazing character, and a smooth finish! The red is just an eye-catching color and the swirls and hide marks give it such a distinctive look. I've been wanting a red bag like this for a long time and have bought a few here and there, but they just weren't THE bag I've been looking for; this fits the bill. I was a little worried the size would be too big, but it fits over my shoulder and feels just right. The quality and workmanship are very apparent and you can tell this is a bag that will last a lifetime. The little details like the scallop around the snap above the inner pocket, the snap on the pocket itself, the metal print ID tag inside, and even the way the D-rings are attached to the bag speak to the workmanship that went into this fine bag. I simply love it! If you are on the fence about this one, hop right off and buy it. You will not regret it one little bit.
