Only carried twice but I have an a$$hole cat that claimed it as her own. I've added pictures of her claw scratches on it. There aren't many and they are very light but they're there nonetheless. Very minimal wear, bag is closer to new than used and would be perfect if not for the cat marks. The outside leather is smooth and the interior is textile material. Brass hardware with top magnetic button closure. The sides expand with very strong snap closure. She's really a gorgeous bag. No dust bag.
