The handbag is very soft leather. I love the ability to wear as a crossbody or shoulder bag. Very high quality construction.

This is a wonderful purse. I love the silver color and the strap is just the right texture and length. When it arrived, it had a strong odor of the manufacturing process and the leather was a bit stiff. But all of that went away. It became supple and forms beautifully when you sling it over your shoulder. Very nice, very nice size purse.
