Beautiful Florentine bag in the color denim. Blue with the slightest tint of green, but overall color is not teal and it's not as bright as Dooney's Ocean Blue color. I would carry this bag year round. I've only had it two weeks, but with a little one alongside me much of the time, I need a shoulder strap. Handbag is smooth as you can see in the pictures. The secure brass tone zipper is encased in heavy red cotton which gives a pretty pop of color along with the signature suede inside top lining. The deep exterior pocket holds my Droid Razr with Otter Box. Much wider opening than the Florentine small or medium satchels. When you unzip the bag, you can see almost all the contents. Not a black hole as with some satchels. My iPad Air with Otter Box fits in the bag with room for a wallet, cosmetic bag, small journal, keys, and a couple of more organizer type pouches. Bottom has feet, inside zipper closure, snap closure pocket, and two other open pockets. Lots of storage! Bag will be shipped with dust bag, registration card, and original tag.
