The color is beige. It looks lighter in the photos, but the first photo is closest to the actual color! It's been used many times, so there's some wear and tear. There are some stains in a few places. They might come out if you wash it. The shoulder strap is adjustable, so it can be worn crossbody! It's also convenient because it has enough capacity to hold a long wallet and a water bottle★ Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items.
