The picture on the CF website is an accurate photo if how the bag looks. A black Palissy with gray interior Very minor defects, wear and tear, are only noticeable through a very close inspection. People who saw the bag at work thought it was brand new and did not notice said imperfections at all. The Palissy size is perfect briefcase for an office job.

This is the fourth CF briefcase I have purchased within three years. Should not need to replace them for many years.

But, I do wish CF would bring back the red and orange interior colors. That feature was unique to CF and the red interior with a cognac bag and orange interior with brown or black bag are very impressive color combos.
