What’s funny is that I recently received my rua angelica in blue verona and am surprisingly ambivalent about it. I love the leather - that smell is incredible!! - but am not settled on the style with it either. I adore the color and surface texture but shape/slouch aren’t completely in harmony yet. Sometimes it takes me awhile to get comfortable with a style, so I’m giving it time. And also picked up the op art strap in red to try with it (and a few other bags in my collection).
So I'm not alone. [emoji4] I think the Verona is better suited for unstructured bags.

Thank you for that information. I will check it out now.
I see that you've already received a reply. I got mine in our local Longchamp store. I'm not sure if there are more, but I've seen 3 colors in all.

Yes the bag is in Verona. This leather is so fragrant!!

If I may add, I can't figure out how I feel about this bag. One moment I sooo love it, the next not so much because of the wave/slouch. It doesn't have the structure I love but sometimes the combination of the style and the leather smell drives me head over heels for it!!

But you remember who is first in line for that bag should it go on the chopping block, riiiiiiight? *devious smile*

Here is the dark green Verona Calista. It’s showing up a little grey in the pics, probably from the lighting. I have also included comparison shots with the dark green vachetta Siena so you can see the difference in tones. As mentioned earlier, the Verona is more of an evergreen with undertones of blue/teal. The vachetta is a true deep green.

Lenie, I like green, and think both seem to have the bottle green I like!
Perhaps the bit toned down green in the Verona is more me! Congrats with both your bags!!

Oh... but I thought the AEC Group got the first cut. ;)


I agree with you, MSD. Verona suits the slouchy style more. That’s why I ordered the good bye lot in Selene Midi. Hence, I think I’m already overload in this department. I like the new trinity, but can’t see it in any other style that’s slouchy and not too big. All Marco’s design are so big I think if I’m not careful enough in my choosing, it’ll end up wear me instead of me wear them. [emoji28]

I would love mod shots! Or any pictures!

I promise that I will do so!!
Am on a crushing deadline at the moment, so digging out appropriate-for-view outfit and bag to photograph in anything resembling daylight has been challenging!
Lately, I've been reverting to my black vachetta midi selene, even further limiting my photo opportunities - it's such a workhorse. :)

I have a Forest Green aura and I find the color to be perfect. It is a deep rich and saturated true green. I love the leather and the bag it is gorgeous. I get lots of compliments when I wear it.

Vink I have the same problem with having to be really careful and not having the bag wear me instead of the other way around. I am not sure what it is because some people can carry big bags and they are not that big but I just cannot get away with carrying a large bag. Although now that I am not working full time and I work part time from home I do not need a really large bag. Previously I wanted to carry a small laptop in my bag instead of having to carry a briefcase and a bag. Now I only carry a bag. I find that I change my bags all the time. Some times I will use 3 different bags in a week. I am determined to use my bags on a regular basis. Although I have to admit I have a couple that I have not used yet but that is going to change I am planning to use them in the near future.
