We are so sorry that your package got lost in transit, we filed a missing mail claim with UPS and are still waiting for an update from them. We would have loved to ship a replacement out right away but unfortunately, the item went out of stock. We did create a replacement order in our system for you so we are just waiting for the item to come in by the end of this week or early next week so that we can get it out to you. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Sisal & Leather Kiondo Earthtone

The bag shape & design is as pictured, however, "earthtone" does not have any black in it, as pictured, and the black & deep brown color scheme was the main reason I made the purchase, so I am a little disappointed in that. The one I recieved is more beige & light brown colored. Also, my bag came with a small slice in the strap, so I am concerned about the longevity of the strap now. I hope it will last long without the strap becoming compromised. Otherwise, it is very beautiful & well made & worth the price, for the good quality material. It also includes a thin lining in the bag with 2 deep pockets, one with zipper closure & one without. I also love that the bag has leather & zipper closure at the top, which makes it extra unique compared to many other sisal bags I have seen.
