This is a beautiful backpack, in the most lovely, very rich, dark green. It has one exterior pocket on the front, that closes with a secure snap. The top foldsover and is secured with "lobster claw", brass mechanism. There are also two snaps at the top of the folder part, making it extremely secure. The interior has one open pocket, and a large compartment which will fit a 12" or smaller laptop, or pad. This type of leather will show marks, etc, which gives it a rustic look. Overall, a fabulous backpack.
