There is definitely no leather anywhere on or in this bag. ..that element should be deleted from the description immediately.  The bag is attractive enough for the price.  Mine had Australia on the back, and something unpronounceable and uncharted on the front.  It is growing on me so I will keep it for a knock around bag, but I will never order from this company again.  If I had wanted faux leather, which I didn't, I could have done much better in Chinatown.
