Gorgeous bag, but not 100 percent leather.
I was shopping for a 100% leather bag. Spent a least an hour, on-line, reading reviews and the descriptions of many bags. The CK satchel looked professional with a beautiful brown color. I was sold since it was advertised as LEATHER. When I brought the satchel home, I removed the protective coverings and the bag looked like plastic. I asked my husband if this is a leather bag? He said it is leather, but he agreed it looked plastic. I looked at the material content label inside the bag and this is what it read, "leather bag with synthetic gusset, bottom, back pocket, front/back top collar, and shoulder strap." So this satchel is like 40% synthetic. Now, Macy's is off the hook for this one, because the merchandiser, like me, saw a gorgeous satchel that read leather and purchased. But, CK come on (the company probably wrote the product's description). When I was in purchasing mode and searching for a bag, I read the descriptions carefully because I wanted leather. If a bag's components included synthetic material, I moved on to the next bag. I would give this bag five stars because it is gorgeous, but I am disappointed because it is not 100% leather as advertised. I recommend the satchel because it is well made and professional looking. I understand many leather satchels/bags will have synthetic linings and metal zippers but the only components that are leather are only the front and back walls, a flap, and the rainbow shaped handles. If a bag is not 100 percent leather, please include what percentage of it is or is not leather. There are probably regulations that allow a manufacturer to use the word "leather" when at least a certain percentage of it is only leather. I am probably going to return this bag.

Meeting purse used as a briefcase
The purse is very detailed. It’s a little bit smaller than I thought but it’s still the perfect size. I use this purse for meetings to carry my essentials and it’s perfect!
