It’s a high quality bag. I did some research prior to my purchase and hopefully my review will help others. First, my reason for buying this bag was to carry more items for work. It fits my 13” iPad Pro along with the case it’s in. Second, I just wanted something that would last longer and not look terrible when it ages. I could definitely tell it’s real leather. It’s thicker than my other leather bags, which are primarily cosmetic and not as functional. The hardware on the purse is beautiful and it doesn’t feel cheap. Third, I wanted a bag that was still pretty in shape that still felt like a purse. I didn’t want a big tote bag or luggage bag, so this fit those requirements.As for the downsides, and this can be a big one, it’s very glossy and shiny. I prefer matte purses, and most people probably do. HOWEVER, when I did my research, people said that the gloss and color would fade over time. It already has a nice patina, but over time it’ll look better. Most of my purses don’t tend to look better as it gets older. I will try to update my review in the future.The second thing that bothered me was the packaging. It was delivered in a bag, not fully stuffed inside the purse. My purse arrived fine, so it worked out ok.
