I got these 2 Regan bags to decide which I liked better. The gray is nubuck/suede and is AMAZING. I am keeping it for sure. But I like the black too! This is the black shinier leather with silver and black hardware. There is also a black more matte leather too - it's kind of pebbled and I think if I were going to keep a black bag, I'd want that one. The leather on this one seems thin and is a little shinier than I'm used to. But it's a gorgeous bag. Just wanted to share for anyone wondering about the Regan satchel.
