Thanks girls! The leather is very soft and buttery, I was surprised it was not more distressed. I actually like distressed but I don't like dry so overall I am very happy. Oh and it is very black, not faded at all.
batgirl77, I know what you mean. I had a very hard time deciding whether to go for the gold. I love the gold but I do think that silver will go with more because it is more understated. I dress very classic and simple, so I think I will be able to pull off the gold a lot. However if your wardrobe has a lot of patterns or bold colors, you may want to go with silver. Believe me, silver is so gorgeous too. Either way you can't go wrong.
