There are some scratches from use, but there are no noticeable deformations, and it can still be used. It's a stylish brown color that goes well with denim and casual wear, and it's a design you can use for a long time. I don't remember where I bought it. The product number 302-072274-(21-01) made me think it was UNIQLO, but the product number is unknown. The following is a copy and paste: "Genuine Leather" is a general term for leather made from processed real animal skin (natural leather), including cowhide, pigskin, and sheepskin, regardless of the type of raw material. It is used to distinguish it from high-quality leather (such as full-grain leather), and it indicates that it is "genuine leather" or **"real (leather)." It is used to distinguish it from synthetic leather (faux leather), and it does not indicate the quality or grade of the leather, but rather refers to the broad category of "genuine leather."**
