The body is a sturdy, structured birdseye tweed fabric in beige and brown. There is brown leather binding, straps, side panel and other trim. The best part is the aged brass hardware- there are feet on the bottom to prevent wear & tear, studs throughout the purse for extra stability, and the clasp. There is a great pocket on the inside that would fit a checkbook.
Just wait til you see what this comes with - inside, there is an original warranty card with a metal pin of authenticity. There is also a label with style number, and an unopened bag of extra brass tacks (the bag says "John Romain thinks of everything".
This is what the warranty and label say:
