The color of the bag is exactly the same as in the photo on the website. Before ordering, I paid particular attention to the dimensions of the bag to avoid any surprises upon receiving a tiny bag! So no surprises, the dimensions are suitable and conform to those advertised. The bag is lined and the straps of the bag have nice finishes except that it is made of faux leather which might have been better if it was made of woven raffia. I am generally very satisfied with this purchase.
