I bought this bag in Marigold, which is a sunny golden yellow. The picture is an accurate representation of the color, at least on my monitor. It will be a cheerful pop of color for the long winter months ahead, and the yellow is quite versatile as a contrast to autumn colors and jewel tones, which make up most of my wardrobe at the moment. As you can see if you zoom in on the pictures, the leather trim has a darker finish on the edges, and the stitching is also dark, which makes the lines and details of the bag really stand out, at least in the yellow color. I would recommend treating the leather before use to limit stains, dirt and discoloration on lighter color bags like this one.

The leather is high quality–thick enough to hold its shape and stand on its own when you put it down, but still very soft. The magnetic closure is strong and stays closed. The hardware is a subtle brushed brass that looks good but doesn’t add too much weight to the bag. Etienne Aigner is known for good quality bags with conservative styling, but I think the yellow color makes this one look a lot more modern than most Aigner bags.

This tote is just the right size to carry everything I need and to organize it well. There are three large interior sections–the middle one is zippered–and interior pockets on both sides for phones and portable electronics, keys, etc. The straps are just the right length for me, too.

I feel this bag is well worth the full retail price, but I was able to take advantage of a special promotional offer and got an even better price. What a deal!
