Authentic leather and very versatile bag. This is one of my favorites of all time but just does not get used as much as it should. Has been kept in dust bag for past 2 years. Dust bag is included Very slight, small discoloration on leather (shown in photo) located on the back at the very bottom. I believe this is possibly from dark jeans rubbing on it. This bag is still being sold in stores and is currently retailing on sale for $329 and regular price is $548
