Calvin Klein consistently knows how to create the most simple but luxurious looks... so I knew when I ordered it that it would be great and it was. The leather is think but soft and buttery, the size is perfect and the color is great... I would call it a true "nude." A very pale peach/pink/bone shade. It goes with everything. The two options for straps is an unexpected bonus too. I use the short one, but love to be able to switch to satchel-mode on the fly, like when I went shopping in Palm Springs recently. As for price, the $100+ price-point wasn't the usual Overstock ultra-bargain. I would call it the going rate. But, in case you can't tell, I LOVE this bag!!
