These are a bright brown leather with zebra or tiger striped backs. I liked the "scuffiness" of this style of leather. They are still in great condition, as I didn't get to wear them much due to an injury. They look fabulous with skinny jeans or leggings and with skirts/dresses. I got a compliment on them, from a perfect stranger, last time I wore them! Please examine photos carefully and feel free to ask questions. I try to be detailed, thorough and accurate with my photos.
