Answer

They're all correct!

The rule is easy:
SMALL, RED, LEATHER purse:
1. Some leather purses are red, some aren't.
2. Some red purses are small, some aren't.
That's how we do it. LOL.

Answer

All are fine...

In many languages, attributive adjectives usually occur in a specific order. Generally, the adjective order in English is:
1. quantity or number
2. quality or opinion
3. size
4. age
5. shape
6. color
7. proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
purpose or qualifier
