I was looking for something a little retro, in a mildly flashy color. The main photo for this purse kept catching my eye, as it looks very orange. As I mulled it over, I realized that the color/style name was "1large Plain Leather - Brown/Black" Unfortunately, only the first photo shows this purse's color, so I submitted a question, but the answers I got weren't helpful. Two were from people who bought leopard print, and one said simply "brown" and didn't confirm if they had this style purse. And there were no reviews of this style. So, I ordered it and hoped it was true to the photo.Sadly, no. It's definitely a brown color, and not a very attractive brown to me. I've uploaded photos to help the next shopper.If it had been orange, I might keep it, but I wasn't 100% crazy about the quality.The measurements are exactly as described. The 12.7" length x 6.5" width is the flat bottom of the bag, when folded open. No, the 12.7" isn't the widest part where it bows out a bit on the side.It's a thick PU material (no mistaking it for leather) but the crosshatching gives it a nice texture. It's firm, but I'm not sure about how well it'll hold up to use. It arrived with a crease from something unknown pressing against it, and I can see that it will get vertical creases on each side from pulling open to see inside the bag.Which is a shame because the bag design seems very functional, with the dual zippers running so far down each side, and the side fabric wall to keep things from spilling out. The zippers are ok - not the smoothest, but not bad.
