I love my tot , it looks just like the picture .

Strong unpleasant smell. Had to return it.

I LOVE THIS!!! The reviews and the pictures by other buyers of this bag will tell you all you need to know. I don't have much to add. It is lighter in color than the picture, but that's because that bag is more aged and has been rubbed with mink oil or saddle soap, or some other leather conditioner. Just the way new baseball gloves are lighter and stiffer until they are conditioned and broken in, this purse is the same thing. And since it's processed naturally, there are some slight variances in color. So the complaints about the color being off, well I'm okay with that. If that is going to bother you, go to a department store and buy yourself one of those processed factory and machine made bags with no personality. This is a bag for adventurous free spirits, it's Indiana Jones, not 5th Ave.

This bag is going to age beautifully and last years. The smell? That's REAL naturally aged leather. While I love that "clean leather" smell that we all are familiar with, obtained by using nasty chemicals, this is the same smell just not as clean or processed smelling. I happen to love that. IF the smell is too strong, let it air for a few days. Then you'll only be able to smell it if you bury your next to it or a breeze wafts it your way. I like the smell (it was strong when I first got it, and I aired it out), now it's just lovely.
The strap is perfect for me I buckled it on the second to last hole and it fits right at my hip (I'm 5'5" tall and short waisted). Yes the snaps are a little tight and hard to manage at first. But use them and they get easier, OR use the buckles which really are not difficult to manage. I use the buckled on the flap and the snaps on the two front pockets. the buckle/snaps are easily converted to either use. And I received three extra buckle/snap replacements that are in a bag with a conditioning oil to keep the leather from drying out until such time as I should need them.

The green canvas interior is forest green and there are a lot of pockets in this. Two zippered and two without. Storage space is not an issue with this bag. there might be a little stickiness on the buckles and the zipper pulls from the leather conditioner they used. Simple use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean them.

Over all, this is one of the best purchases I have ever made.
