I has hoping that this bag would be darker than it actually is. It’s more of a grey than a black. I do think it looks like black jeans that have been washed a ton, so I’d say it’s true to how Baggu described it! Priced high because I’m not sure I want to part with it! Please do not feel pressured to buy! I may lower the price closer to retail in a few months if I’m still not loving it so feel free to drop a like to be notified of price changes!
