i hear that!!!!I did not realise - for me, Covid lockdown resulted in very many MM orders
I fit into the Covid Lockdown resulting in lots of MM bags. I just received 3 the Tan Handmade Vachetta Ellen, the brown straw Little Selene with bamboo handles and on Thursday I received the dark blue sorrento midi Modena with orange lining and silver hardware. I fell in love with the sorrento leather and asked Marco if he had any left. He has the dark blue which I already have and one small piece of the dark teal which he told me was one of the most popular sorrento colors and also a piece of English red sorrento. I looked at the dark teal and knew that was the perfect color for a Little Selene. @coastaljewel convinced me to get some verona and I really like verona as well. I missed out on Sorrento when Marco first offered it but I am pleased I was able to get 2 bags in this leather. I bought the midi Modena in dark blue sorrento from the sample sale. I am in love with this leather it is such a great leather.
I have ordered an Aurora Midi in Dark Grey Pompei (it is such a beautiful grey, been spending ages trying to decide what bag to have made in it), a Mini Zhoe in the very dark Purple Pebbled and a Charlotte Shoulder Bag in Black Deerskin.
I was fascinated by the few and quite old photos I found of Black Deerskin. Some time last Autumn I asked Marco about this leather. He still had some left and he put it aside for me. I could never make up my mind what bag to use it for. Until today
I am really, reeeeeeally looking forward to these reveals. Your order sounds heavenly.
Ladies I would like to know your opinion on gray leather. It is a color that I do not have. I do not want a light one. I want a “saturated” “rich” gray with or without undertones, something not blah. Those of you who have gray bags, please share what you think about your color. Right now I am leaning toward the aquila matte dark gray, but I am open to others.

This is absolutely gorgeous.
This is the shade I prefer for a gray. I might have to give Aquila matte a try just to get my hands on this leather.
I agree from what I can tell in the photo. On his website this gray leather has a strong blue undertone, but what I posted is a blow up from another poster's bag and it does not seem to have that undertone.This is absolutely gorgeous.
The Aquila Matte looks lovely! Why not ask Marco for a sample, to make sure?
I too have searched for the perfect grey. I wanted a truly dark grey. And it is hopeless to tell from photos.
So I have been requesting one sample after the other...
Dark Grey Nappa turned out to be a (beautiful) medium grey.
Dark Grey Pebbled is also a medium grey, with a khaki tint.
Anthracite Pebbled, on the other hand, is a pure dark grey. So I now have three bags in Anthracite
And then I received a sample of Dark Grey Pompei....
I am not overly fond of Pompei. Except the Dark Grey! It is unbelievably gorgeous. Very dark, matte yet somehow silky in appearance.
One thing I have learned about Pompei, is that colour batches can vary a lot. Well, actually, this is of course true for all the leathers.
When I decide to order a bag in one of my samples, I have learned from experience that the safest way to get the exact colour is to cut my sample in half and post one half back to Marco, saying: "This exact colour, if you still have it"
No time to do ths in an Autumn sale... so I am keeping my fingers crossed

We NEED Charlotte photos! Especially mod shots! Of BOTH bags!!!Just finalised my order. Getting two Charlotte shoulder bags. One in dark orange nappa for my sister and dark green handmade vachetta for myself. Excited!!
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I had totally forgotten about anthracite which is exactly what I am looking for. I had a gorgeous Victoria midi in anthracite and metallic, probably the prettiest bag I have ever ordered. But it was too dressy for my retirement life style. Now I rememer thinkng that it is the perfect gray! Thank you for reminding me!The Aquila Matte looks lovely! Why not ask Marco for a sample, to make sure?

Anthracite is also my favorite gray. I got rid of one of my other gray bags recently because Anthracite is the perfect gray for me.
I know. I cannot believe I parted with it.
