Def not leather...wore it twice and the tabs that close started to separate (the top layer from the bottom layer - leather does not do that!!). I was lucky to get a refund but I insisted since it the sales girl had sold it to me as leather. They charged $100 for this bag. The color was beautiful and it was I think a 14" but not worth $100 (not worth more than $40 if you ask me, just that with the satchel craze they are getting away with these higher prices).
