Purchased black, I have not been disappointed. It certainly does not leather but it does not cap either, it is more massive than the rendering of the photo. For those familiar with the brand's bags is consistent with what is usually done and for many years. Given the use I actually it is resistant. I also bought for shoulder strap combination (which removes) / handles. At first sight it is large enough to use but I would put a little damper on this because if we try to exploit the width of the bag, closing the closure (even empty we feel that it takes).
