Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the measurements and how does it carry? A: Approx. 30 cm (W) × 25 cm (H) × 13 cm (D) with a 19 cm shoulder drop. The single chain strap is designed for comfortable on‑shoulder wear under the arm; it is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: What typically fits inside this Galaxy Python Hobo? A: A long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case, an A5 diary, and an 11-inch tablet or e‑reader. A 13-inch laptop is generally too large; please refer to the Measurements above to judge your own items.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: The Galaxy Hobo features a single fixed chain shoulder strap and is not adjustable or detachable. It is designed as a shoulder hobo rather than a crossbody.
Q: What kind of closure and interior does it have? A: It has a secure zip‑top closure and a black leather-lined interior with pockets for easy organisation.
Q: How should I care for the python leather? A: Keep the bag dry and away from prolonged sunlight and humidity. After use, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth in the direction of the scales. Avoid alcohol, oils, hand sanitiser, and household cleaners. If conditioning is needed, use a reptile‑specific product very sparingly. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place—never against heaters or in plastic.
Q: The scales feel slightly raised—Is that normal? A: Light scale lifting is natural for genuine python with wear and handling. Do not pick at scales or rub against their direction. If a section lifts noticeably, smooth gently in the direction of the scales and consider professional exotic‑leather care for any deeper treatment.
Q: Can I use it in the rain? A: Try to avoid wet weather. If it gets damp, blot gently with a clean cloth and let it air‑dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use a hairdryer or place near radiators.
Q: Are there any restrictions on shipping or travelling with python leather? A: Many countries regulate python leather under CITES. Cross‑border shipments and international travel may require specific documentation and may be restricted in some regions. Always check the rules for your destination before purchase or travel; some locations do not accept deliveries of python items.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this specific piece, it is listed with no additional product information included.
Q: What do the condition notes mean in practice? A: Rated Very Good, with light signs of wear: minor corner scuffs on the exterior, a light trace of use inside, and hardware that remains shiny with small surface scratches. Please review the photos to see these details up close.
