Buttery soft distressed leather. The color is more like a soft faded red. Interior is clean, no stains, rips, or tears. Exterior shows minimal signs of wear, just some light scratching that blends in pretty well with the distressed leather. Adjustable side straps to open top wider for squared off top, or cinched in for more of a dumpling style. Is missing part of the small buckle for top closure as shown in photo.
