Tilton arrived no plastic covering any of the hardware or zipper pull or strap. No paper covering the bag. Had a long black hair that you could see thru the plastic… I open the plastic bag and I see a few scratches/ gouges on the front and at the top of the bag. the chestnut color is beautiful. Leather looks ok on front and back. Sides are pebbled. Looks like someone tried to remove one side of the strap, the other side looks untouched. I think I’m going to return this return and pre order another bag while the labor day sale is still in effect. My MacBook Air 15 inch fits perfectly. I am happy about that. I was able to buff out all the scratches with the dust bag.
