Thank you so much, cdtracing! Now I can think really good which one to choose. Maybe both 
What are your thoughts about the red Ashbury? Os it sturdy enough to hold books, binders and all other thingies a lady carries all day long?
The black one, do you think it might be too heavy and maybe not that spacious?
TIA again!

The Ashbury is large enough to carry books, binders, ect & the removable compartment is a plus. I'm not sure if the vintage bag will be large enough to hold books, binders, ect since it's a little smaller according to the measurements given. I will say that the older, vintage bags are very well made & sturdy; the leather seems to be a little thicker as well as the lining.
+1 Agree with Cdtracing, both are authentic and the sellers look good with a good track record. I love that hobo! Yes it is a vintage bag and in my opinion, the vintage bags were extremely well made. I own several vintage bags and I find the quality to much better than many of my newer bags. I would feel confident purchasing either one, although the Ashbury is considerably larger, and I know it would carry much more.
I reported both of them. It is apparent to me that she purchased both off of a fakes website to resell. She said they were "New without Tags, and brand new, never used". I am sure she knew they were fakes because she didn't show the tags. These are the worst kind of sellers. Glad she is doing a return. Please leave appropriate feedback so others don't get burned, but wait until you get your refund. Is she paying for return shipping?
Thank you so much, cdtracing and Cinthia! I really appreciate your help and advice!
Thinking about the Ashbury, I really, really love it but my DH pointed the obvious to me: if I'd have only that one for the day, carrying around everything in it, including the big stuff like binders, books, iPad, etc, I might get a bad shoulder in no time. Better get a smaller one, such as the vintage black one, and a tote or something else for the big stuff, as I do now. But of course I want 2 bags for now...
... so I found another one that seems genuine and in nice condition. Not sure about the handles though. What do you think? It's going to end shortly so I'm not sure if there's enough time to email back and forth about the condition of the handles. What's your personal feeling about it? TIA!!

This is authentic. An older bag, not vintage, though. You can fit a lot in a Hobo.
If you're worried about weight with carrying so much, you might want to think about a crossbody for handbag essentials & a backpack for books, binders, ect for even distribution of heavier weight.
Thank you again!
This is the best idea to distribute the weight evenly. I've been a backpack fan for many years. Unfortunately, now I've been having somehow reduced mobility in one shoulder and it's almost impossible to put the backpack on/off, even on only one shoulder, let alone on both. This is why I needed to switch to bags only, and hobos are my faves, but I love all handbags, purses, backpacks, etc.
I asked this seller a question because I just wanted to be sure the handles look good enough compared to the rest of the bag before bidding on it. S/he didn't get back to me so I didn't take the chance. Now this bag is not relisted yet, and the seller doesn't have any other items listed. Considering also the low feedback score, would it be safe to assume this listing was... fishy?
Here's the link to the listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Michael-Kor...uYBfWrVie04pjQAGfxeds%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Not necessarily. It looked good from what could be seen from the pictures provided. Sometimes, there's an error in the listing or if no one bids, sellers will sometimes relist a few days later. It's possible since the seller had no other listing, they could have listed it on another online sale side.
You're perfectly right. Or maybe she sold it outside the internet, irl. Who knows? It was so pretty though... [sigh]
There will be another. Just keep looking & you will find her.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the encouragement. Hope I will.
Waiting for the bags I missed to be relisted I found another one I'm not so sure about, especially because I can't see very well the interior of the bag in the pics. I would really appreciate your help with this one too!

I'm trying to find a white or better an ivory one, now that I got the black one in thick leather that's going to arrive anytime now. I also hope to be able to wash it after arrival and make it look at least a bit better. Cinthia, what's your experience with washing the white leather? Is it worth the try or it might get it a yellow-ish hue or something? TIA.
Edit to add: I asked the seller about the size and it seems a good, large size: 17x13x6
I also asked for more inside pics. Which I cannot attach from my tablet, apparently..... I need to go to my PC today to add them here.

The pictures are not very good. From what I can see, it appears to be an authentic soft leather Hamilton, the older style. I would need to see better pictures of the interior, including clear pictures of the heat stamp, made in country tag, & pockets to be 100%.
