*Just had to add that this is my 4,444 post!* hahahaha
My opinion of the material is that it has a veiny feel and is not as nice as leather for sure. It's SUPER shiny like patent leather but it's smooshy; maybe a tad plastic-y. Definitely a bag that would be super durable and have no problems with any type of weather! Rain would roll right off this bag! Oh, btw, it has silver hardware... some of my pics make it look slightly yellowish.
It's super lightweight (even lighter than crunch leather) and is a GORGOUS sized bag and I love the turnlocks on the front; however I think this bag would be TDF in velvet or crunch... not sure how I feel about the shiny navy-ish color though. HMMM... at least the blue with the orange lining makes me a bronco fan I guess? LOL
I love the size of this bag a LOT, and it has one inside slip cell phone pocket (like the older tanos) but it's sewn in, no flapping around! It also has a sewn in zip closure pocket inside.
What do you guys think? (Note - I will try to take more pics in natural light tomorrow if I get a chance)
