Oh boy, this is nicely leather!! It’s thick and sturdy and really well put together. Plus it’s a crossbody tote! I honestly can’t remember if I actually used it….. which is a sign I have too many purses 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ It is very very clean. There are some minor scratches on the leather and wear to the bottom corners. If you look up the Portland leather goods website, the point of their leather is actually wearing it in, which hasn’t happened with this purse because it didn’t get enough love. So, someone take this beauty out into the world and give it some adventures!
