I just got this bag. The bright colors are not, they are rather dull. I'm not surprised because I had read it before making my purchase. I was lucky because I bought used on the site (about 13 E), but it is actually like new. I am satisfied because I like the patterns and the object remains practical. My computer Mac Book Pro is well run, it's really the right size (13 inches). The only flaws are the colors that are not like the pictures ... which is aging a bit overall. But it has its charm, actually if we want to change the basic black cover or we are used to a little old business ... or vintage! The inside is soft, as shown, allowing not to scratch the computer.
