The bag is lovely. But certainly would not pass for leather as it has a hard glossy look. Not that I expected real leather for the amount but was hoping for a bit more 'passability':)I have no complaints about my gorgeous,black alligator bag. It feels so good, catches the eyes. It is above average in sturdiness. And it’s big, has compartments that serve well but not too big.I put my stuff in it already and I will attempt to be humble as I carry this!I bought the Green bag first. Awesome quality great color as promised. The Pecan color is not as pictured. Just not enlightening black or two toned as appears. I'm keeping my Green one. Everyone stops me and I'm definitely throwing the name Pijushi out there.. unfortunately I just purchased the Brahmin Pecan color because I saw a lady in the store today the color was Beautiful. More costly but I want what I want. To purchase what I see. Again great quality. I will still purchase from Pijushi. Worth the money.The bag is so unique and well-made!While I wish it was a bit more of a wine red than a bright red, I get a lot of compliments and the bag is a good bargain for the price.This is my new favorite bag! The purple color is beautiful, the bag is spacious, the design is eye catching, and it is sturdy. I’m really satisfied with my purchase.I was looking for a Brahmin Handbag! According to the description it stated it was, however it was not. Item returnedI love the sheer elegance and expert craftsmanship!I have been a handbag Diva for most of my life. When I came across the Pijushi line of bags I felt like heaven had opened the skyes of "handbag utopia" for me. Then after receiving my bag I knew the skyes of handbag utopia had actually opened. This bag is fabulous on all counts: quality, style, material, construction, color, texture, nothing is missed or short changed. I was so captivated that I began a search for handbag number two (it's coming next week). I love the solid construction and I know this bag will be able to withstand much wear and use. The compartments are solid and appreciated. Thank you for creating a spectular woman's accessory. I can guarantee you I will asked about my handbag from many women to come, it's been happening already! KUDOS and again THANKS!?
