I am loving on this Dior. It is vinyl coated leather (which is patent leather) and in beige it is uber luxurious. You can just see this bag 30 years from now still being a total classic as you take it out on an inter-stellar date. Take care of your patent and it will literally last forever. And you know how we have been gushing endlessly about it and for Fall, it is all about the patent, so getting a bag like this is a no brainer. It is a total trend item now yet will be a staple in your wardrobe for many a seasons. I love the Cannage quilting and the tonal strap makes this bag sleek and chic. The handles have a 7″ drop which will go under most arms and there is the Bag Snob favorite, exterior slit pocket, for cell phones. This is one of those rare bags from Dior that transcends age and time. I might get this bag, use it for now and give it to my mom for Christmas. Is that terrible of me? If you are looking for one bag this season, there is no need to email me cuz this is an option I will offer up. $1190, Shop Dior at eLuxury
