Here is the brown verona Calista Midi that I received yesterday. Shipping was a little over a week. It has gold hardware and beige lining. Modifications include 2" extended shoulder drop and invisible magnetic closure (not recommended). Without further ado, introducing Miss. Brown Verona Calista Midi:

I would describe the colour as a toffee brown or milk chocolate brown. The slouchy style really suits verona, it's so huggable and molds into your body, I love this leather! I prefer hobo bags with a longer shoulder drop so I requested a 2" extended shoulder drop, and am very happy with this modification.
Another modification I got was the invisible magnetic closure. I do not recommend this one, as the closure location is where two pieces of leather meet, and therefore the seams are thick and pretty much makes the magnet useless

I'm okay with wearing this bag as an open top hobo, but this wasn't my intention when I ordered it. That was a mistake on my part.

Full disclosure: The inside zipped pocket didn't have a zipper pull. I reached out to Marco and he responded right away and said he'll include some zipper pulls in his next order and I can attach it myself. Amazing and speedy customer service, especially on a Saturday when everyone is off work!
