This is a beautiful evening bag (or dress up jeans). The black beads look dark grey in the light and the closure and strap are dark grey. I purchased this one of a kind bag in Florence. The top row of beads is showing wear and needs minor repair; also there appears to be a dot on the FF emblem that I cannot buff out--see photo 3 for better image of imperfections. Size:H3.5*W5.5*D1 inches (8*14*3cm) Strap Drop: 3.5 inches (9cm)
