I just ordered this bag off of bluefly but this is my first Via Spiga so I have a few questions:
I've seen the exact same handbag on different sites & it doesn't look as shiny as this one. This is what it looks like it beige: http://www.viaspiga.com/product_detail.asp?name=Neela&id=Neela-1&c=handbags
Here is what it looks like in white: http://www.zappos.com/images/722/7225466/2249-235563-p.jpg
It doesn't look as shiny in either of these colors.
a) Do you think its just the picture/flash that makes it look this shiny in black?
b) Also the description reads: Extremely lightweight, this large, top-zip hobo features glazed calfskin. I've never owned a via spiga handbag so I don't know how soft/buttery the leather is. According to the description (and your experience with Via Spiga handbags), do you think this bag would be soft & buttery?
Any help would be great. Thanks girls! I've heard from other websites that you guys are the experts on handbags so I'm looking forward to your comments.
