I ordered the Bulga medium studded hobo in satin blue from BagShop. BagShop was great, but I'm just not that impressed with the bag. There is an obvious stitching flaw where the stitching goes off the body of the bag onto the strap, there seem to be variations in color (perhaps this was a display bag and was faded?), there are a few stray threads and the lining isn't silky like I had anticipated. The online photos also made this bag seem a deeper color than it is IRL.
I'll try to get some pictures, but I think I am sending it back. The size and shape is perfect and I really like the style, but I just wonder if the next one they sent would be of better quality or have more flaws like this one. I'm not sure I want to risk it. The leather is beautifully soft and the bag is quite light, but that isn't enough to offset the problems.
I know that $330 isn't a lot for many people, but I figured it was enough to expect straight stitching and no loose threads!
