I purchased this new here before and used it once for a short time. I've only used it once, but it has been in two people's hands, so please refrain from purchasing if you are very sensitive to this. The color is not pure black, but a black like sumi ink. It's a fashionable bag that's perfect for parties like weddings, as well as for everyday use ‪︎‬♥︎‪︎‬♥︎‪︎‬♥︎
