That’s exactly what I was thinking re testingi would try on a small hidden area with a drop of water to see how it dries, and take it from there.
Visual similarity does not necessarily mean textural likeliness
Confession time: So sorry I've cheated...

Definitely consistent. I think it is wonderful to have an alternative brand offering a different vibe and that you enjoy as much as BV.
thank you, my dear A!! 
My Arayla petite Harlow is riding shotgun...
Test-driving my classic Harlow, I love this bag!
Thanks, it's a very functional bag with great leather
.
And a very good strap drop (check that box as well!)
Another departure from the usual Bal/BV purchases...Coach Bandit 39. Much less expensive but very nice for the price point.
I have seen and been tempted by this bag. The leather is really thick and sumptuous! And the style is classic.... nice one!
For me unfortunately it is too heavy given I lug a lot of things around in my work bag...
On an average day I don’t carry that much, I could actually carry a smaller bag but the smalls always seem just a bit smaller than I’d like.
I was very tempted by this bag too! Almost bought it when it first came out. I love the leather, and hobos are my thing! Yours is beautiful. Congrats.
