In advance of easy pay day, wondering if the measurements for this bag differ from the vintage hobo. The handle drop length listed is indeed several inches longer (11 inches) and have just viewed the video this one seems to hang more north and south.
The vintage hobo measurements are not ideal for me, but this one looks very promising. But hoping to hear from someone with direct experience.
Also, how shiny is it? Like toledo leather or espresso lizard or ... those tv lights make it look fairly shiny.
This bag looks beautiful and I'm trying to get something that steps away from my usual black and brown (although that one looks great, too).
Thanks!

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I have the blue. The shine is exaggerated in the photos. The bag is a sueded leather. The blue color is more faded/denim than the photos.
In my view, the biggest advantage of the Q is the easy return. If I don't like it, even after using it, I pack something back, no problem. Never mind paying the shipping for the privilege of NOT doing a mall-crawl. Love being able to actually carry a handbag for a few days before deciding. Still adore this one, a favorite. Upscale accessorizing when I'm wearing jeans, heels, and a collection jacket with pearls!
