Going Bespoke with Atelier @mila.jito aka Lili: Palm Mirus 21 in Fauve Barenia GHW

[FaubourgTropical]

Absolutely beautiful!! Is this navy blue Barenia? I love the sides of your M30 — great choice! So neat to see how you’ve made this truly one of a kind!

P.S. You can always send the strap back to Lili and she can either punch more holes or make a new strap to your liking (ie. crossbody). I did this on my bag — it was very much worth it.

Congrats again — and please report back to us on usual wear and tear over time.

Thanks to your detailed post here that led me to Lili. ❤️

Yes, it’s navy blue barenia. As for the strap, thanks for sharing. I will consider it.

What have you doooooooooone? I spent the last few days and hours at night just pouring through her website browsing through every picture (and those pictures loaded pretty slowly...)!

So so so so so gorgeous!

Anyone got the Mila+, Mini Mila, or Mellower styles and can comment on how they feel, what they love / didn't, etc? Loving these ones as I tend to go for the small bags with crossbody options!

Thank you so much!

I feel the same way!

Is there a physical store to visit or is it all virtual?

She has a website as well.

Not aware of a physical store.

Her husband had a store but Google shows that it’s now permanently closed. So no physical location!

Anyone have a Mirus ( what size) and a wander?
I am going to order one and am having a hard time deciding.
Any advantages and disadvantages would be helpful.
Thanks

I pre-ordered a puffy Mirus 26. I was also deciding between that and the Wander 33.
Went with the Puffy Mirus because it looked more unique.

Thank you. What leathers did you choose?

I went with Novonappa (Barenia). I prefer smooth leathers over pebbled or textured.

Can’t wait to see it!

Can’t wait to see it!

I'll have it hopefully by February! I'm pretty excited.

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.

Hi! Just saw this post. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
