Beautiful ruby color, croc pattern, roomy, never used. (If you happen to be a teacher, this bag would fit 8x11 notebooks horizontally!) I think you could remove the bow, although I haven’t tried because it’s tied nicely. The purse does have a couple small marks in the patent on the top inner edge of the purse. The marks are tiny. I didn’t notice them when I bought the purse; they are not visible from the outside, but please see the pictures for details.
