Is the color actually called raspberry? I thought it was something different but now can't remember. I do like it though and thought I'd like it better in the Bennet but once I saw one I liked the hobo better. I like the light color you got better but Outlet has stepped up some of their leather lately particularly in this Bennet. I remember seeing a black pebbled one with a contrast stitch (if I remember correctly) and seriously thought about buying and using as a good all weather bag and can do crossbody for bus trips.
