Originally I thought it was made of leather, but for the price, I should have know that it wasn't. It was noted in the description it wasn't made of leather but it was at the end of the description so I missed it before I made the order. Could have canceled order but decided to keep it. When I received it in the mail, I was surprised to find out that I really like it. It is pretty well made and looks sharp. My passport fits very snugly in the pocket so the profile is very thin the way I like it. My cash goes in the other large pocket and the other extra small pockets fit my driver license and a couple of credit cards, so this passport folio is pretty ideal for oversea traveling.
