It’s in a couple of his stories and in a collab youtube video. I guess it’s marketing tactics, which is unnecessary as he’s already an amazing artisan.
I am available by PM if you wish to discuss further.

I apologize for the late reply. I am just seeing this now.
A navy blue barenia bag sounds amazing! I remember seeing some navy blue barenia on her Instagram feed.
There is only one small slip pocket on the interior of my Mirus bag; however, mine is a palm size (Mirus 21). I’m not sure if the interior options differ between the different sizes of this bag though. I would reach out to Lili via Instagram to confirm in the size(s) you are potentially interested in…or even better yet, you could ask her if she’d customize an interior to your liking.
If you decide to eventually take the plunge, please share with us! It is such a fun process!
Thank you for the picture and reply. I am currently waiting for a Birkin 35 SO (which I hope isn’t just a dream as it’s taking longer than expected to arrive!). Otherwise, I would have contacted Lili right away. This is so close to what I want. Congrats on such a beautiful bag. In the event, I order one from Lili, I promise to share here. Thanks again.
ETA: I read your detailed first post again and I think it’s wonderful she’s doing the strap with ‘inner’ lining matching the bag interior. It was my wish for my Kelly SO which was of course promptly shot down by the SA
. After my B35, I want a bolide 31 but I think I will go for ths instead. 'Same' price point, similar cross body option and security, with barenia bonus.

The “inner” lining of the M harness matches the bag interior.
On the other hand, the crossbody strap is just all-around Barenia without any different color(s). You can see this in one of my photos on page 1 that has the strap attached to the bag.
Just wanted to clarify in case that is a detail that is very important to you.
It’s very kind of you. Thanks ! It’s clear for me.
Coincidentally, I was just showing the IG to my husband to get his aesthetic opinion and he urges me to contact Lili today and not wait for my B35 to arrive! So…. Who am I to deny his instruction? I will update this thread as it progresses. Thank you again for opening this thread and giving a detailed review. So far, it would be Mirus 30 in dark blue barenia, silver hardware, subtle contrast stitching and a bright interior - both to be decided later. So exciting!
ETA: her estimated delivery is Q124 or later! Must be all the orders from the readers of your thread

Just took a pic of my newly made strap that came in recently to show you both sides of it. It looks like you already gathered that though from the previously posted pic.

There is room for both H and Lili’s bags in our lives, right?!?! A B35 and a Mirus 30 are a nice compliment, me thinks.
Can’t wait to see both of your final SO products!
Thank you. Yes! I do not like to repeat a style and Birkin to me is firmly a 35 style. But I see a 30 with simple closure and a crossbody strap as a forever size (suitable for arthritic fingers and walking with sticks kind of 'forever') . I considered Bolide 31 but good luck getting it in barenia. So Mirus 30 fills my wish and I also get to try a smooth barenia in colour not issued by Hermes. Win, win, win.

I’ve spent the last month opening this bag via pushing open the magnetic closure with my fingers (instead of pulling the handles), and it has gotten much easier with use. I definitely think this is very doable with the Palm size.
However, a total speculation coming up here, but I’m wondering if it would be harder with a larger Mirus bag given the more torque/pressure required to open a larger bag with a longer magnetic closure. I have no way of confirming this though.

Omg! this thread is a gem!! Thanks for sharing @SpicyTuna13. I just learnt about Mila following tanner leatherstein's recommendation and I love her clean edgy designs. Totally love your palm Mirus bag and the harness! She even disguises her logo in the harness!!
I'd love a tadelakt. Does she have it?

Just send her an Instagram DM she is incredibly responsive and can source specific leathers (might not be exactly the same though).
Not sure specifically about tadelakt, but I second @Christofle — it certainly doesn’t hurt to ask. She has access to the Haas factory at minimum — crossing my fingers she has a leather type you fancy.Thanks. Already did!
