wow this bag is great!!! i am so happy i ended up with the chocolate....it looks lighter than it is in the pics from the flash...it is a really deep brown which is what i love....i would say it is almost identical to the DB MAB.......and the leather is so soft and smooshy the thing cant stand up!!! it is also the same as the MAB in terms of being a scratching leather....the quilting is really pretty too....and it holds just as much as the MAB....i cant believe that this bag was so unpopular....i love it!!!
