Yes, that makes sense. I will have to dig mine out and check it, but here's a modeling picture of it on the shoulder if that helps.

The photo does help. I sometimes worry when the shape has a "dip" that can really impact the useable size and I'm haven't actually seen the bag irl.
No rush...when you get a chance, that would be great. Thank you!!
I know exactly what you mean. That curved opening, seen with many hobo and ergo styles, with a zipper tends to be a no-go for me. I feel a little hampered getting in and out of it. I find bags with a flap or zipper on a flatter opening work better for me. I love the look of hobo styles like the Beckett Zip, but I will wait till I see one cheap to test drive it. The Classic Hobo has a shallow enough curve, with generous proportions that seems to work. But it is actually a bit bigger than I need on a daily basis now.
I borrowed this photo below from @curlizm487 because it is a great picture of the leather and metal strap fastening on a Beckett Zip 9920. Yesterday, while we were discussing this bag here on TPF, I didn't know what to call the little metal post that hooks through the leather so I called it a "ball rivet".
Then last night I was watching an episode of PBS Antiques Roadshow in San Antonio (while trying to fall asleep!) and I learned that this type of metal fastening is called a "Finial" just like the finial on a watch - that knob and stem device that you use to move the hands and set the watch.
A woman had brought in some antique leather goods that belonged to an ancestor who had fought in the American Civil War, including some "Cap Boxes" that the soldiers attached to their belts to hold percussion caps for their guns. The Expert called the metal closure device a "finial", see photo and link below.
FYI, I have also heard the word finial used to describe a decorative ornament on the top of a building. I just thought that this was interesting because I had been struggling to find a term for this purse attachment mechanism just yesterday!
Here's the link, the segment begins at around 44 mimutes:

I don't remember having a problem with the curve in the Beckett. The bag with a curve that I hated was the Legacy crescent. It has a flap that follows the curve and never lays correctly. It is a struggle trying to open it.

I get this with the soho flap bag...the top flap never falls back easily.
It's not really the curve per se that's the real concern. The Legacy is stated as being 9" tall which I assume is from the bottom of the bag, but up to what point? Where the handle and the bag meet? Or to the lowest part of the curve? If it's measured to where the handle and bag meet, then the bag is actually an inch or so shorter than 9". Less usable space for contents.
Beckett Zip in Sapphire Blue. This is the only one I've seen and I love the color and style.
Gorgeous, thanks!
is this from a current listing? i keep looking for it

No it's not, it is a sold listing on Etsy. Too bad!
