Real leather, well made,  but disappointed in the appearance
I really wanted to like this potentially cute little, genuine leather bag, but I was disappointed in the look of the leather.<br />Pros:<br />1) genuine leather--smells good, feels real.<br />2) Good size if you just want to carry a phone and minimalist wallet<br />3) very nice, swivel, high-quality clips for strap<br />4) Could work for men or women who want a small/non-bulky pouch for essentials.<br />Cons:<br />1) The leather on the face of the bad just looks....ugly to me.  See pic 1 and 2. The colors of the different pieces are not a great match, the place where the snap is has a lump and looks kind of cheap or worn.... and the overall look of the front is, to me, kind of ugly rather than the pleasingly distressed look that leather can develop and was hoping for.  Possibly, with time and use, we will get a nicer patina and it will look more integrated and attractive.  I may also try some mink oil to even out the shades.  If any of this works over time, I will update review and add a star.<br />2) Given the disappointing appearance of the bag, I think it is priced too high.
