I don't know the type of leather. The color is black. The photos have areas that appear white due to the light, but it's just the reflection. Overall, it's shiny and beautiful, but there are fine scratches on the surface when you shine a light on it. See the photos. Size: Height: approximately 15cm Width: approximately 24cm Depth: approximately 4.7cm There are pockets on the outside and inside. The handle is missing.
