When I unboxed it it was a great color and had a very pretty buckle but all the creases on the right side of the leather couldn't be helped. It looked like the paint wasn't quite dry when they rolled it up. I even tried leather conditioner to soften the wrinkles but nothing changed. I ended up using it for a leather project and letting the creases become part of the design factor. I did not have enough time to complete the art project and was unable to return it.
