Slightly scratched or stained. While there are wrinkles and signs of use typical of genuine leather, there are no major tears or fatal damage, and it can still be used. This is a genuine leather handbag from Dakota. It's a calm brown color, and the design is easy to match with a wide range of styles, from casual to dressy. The leather is soft and becomes more appealing with use. It closes with a zipper, making it difficult to see the contents, and it's the perfect size for everyday use.
