Gorgeous!! This is a genuine leather backpack. “Croc embossed” pattern. The metal is a light gold. This company is based in the UK and has the most beautiful “diaper/mommy” bags. I am a huge fan and I have every style! Making room for more! Please let me know if you have any questions! **Please note, this isn’t the “matte” version, but the first version she made before the matte-the more shiny croc leather. Although, I cannot tell the difference I just wanted to make note of that! **note the wear to the grab handle and top trim of the bag. Barely noticeable and doesn’t affect the functionality off the bag. Price reflects. Please ask for more pictures or ask any questions :)
