This is the best bag I have ever bought! Is classy with the little gold dog, the leather is soft and of fantastic quality. The bag is nice and roomy with beautiful lining and pockets. Although this website states it is charcoal it is in fact aubergine, a very deep purple which you can only see in certain lights. I knew it was this shade before I bought it as I had seen it at Jersey airport. The purple and gold go fantastic together. It’s the envy of friends !
