All thanks to a sweet friend and after a few weeks of procrastination, I finally got my hands on this Roseau bag. Handles and the base of the bag are leather. This is the smaller of two sizes, comparable to a SLH LP (perfect size for me). Boasting a spacious interior, three generous slip pockets and a zippered pocket within. The exterior of the bag is not straw but to the touch, it felt like straw (smooth) and looks like straw. Very intriguing and interesting treatment. I'm so happy this bag joined my collection, I really am digging it. It's such a unique piece from LC. Love the galloping rider on the front as well.
