Obsessed with this leather! I emailed marina asking if it were still available but she seemed to imply that they couldn't make anymore bags in it!

Oh... thanks for the pix! Iris is another color I have on radar. It’s so pretty! I’m just not good with purple. But this look more pastel. Maybe I can pull it off? [emoji848]

Really... Huh. I just got this Monday. Sad to say, belle, it's really gorgeous!
Vink, this picture makes it darker and warmer than it is in real life. It is a true, clear, lilac color. It is waaaay nicer than I imagined, because I'm also not good with purples, and my first thought was, oh! I could wear that! It's definitely pastel. And it's a very 'plouffy' leather. I love merino and this is a nice one. The Olive Africa and the light pink lining are also much lighter and paler than that pic makes them. I was surprised how light because they definite photograph darker, warmer. Very pleased with olive, pink and iris.
I took a chance with this one, but I love the strap detail, and I've always wanted Aegean pebbled since Angel first came out. This is a briefcase or travel tote style for me. I love the two zippered halves, plenty big enough for a notebook, iPad, and tons more. And that's on one side! Got this with silver lining/hardware. The pebbled is substantial and I think suits the style.
And also, it doesn't 'read big' on. I'm 5'3" and impatient with large, heavy bags. I could wear this as a simple bag and be happy. It wouldn't be close to being full, though. Something about this style is just very right for me. I would get another in a different color, don't know which leather. Vachetta, probably, or pebbled, or something new in future.
Thanks for the review! I cannot buy anymore bags this year. But this will be a consideration for next year! Generally I prefer feminine bags but I could really use this for business travels and meetings.
I hear you. As a business bag this could be ultra unique and feminine. I'm reimagining it.

I wonder whether they’re phasing out Tuscania because of the reported problems. Or maybe they just ran out of the color and can’t make any more.
Vink, go look at the swatches I uploaded on the Customization thread. I think the Iris is quite true to color. It is what I would call a bright pastel. It’s one of my favorite new colors... but I have no idea what kind of bag I would order in it. Maybe Marco will design a soft modern shoulder bag, or something like the Coach duffle bag.
Got my shipping notice for my Black Friday order last night, not sure about the TNT tracking though, it’s saying my bags were in Italy last night and will be delivered to me today in the UK I used to be able to see exactly where it was with the previous courier, adding to the anticipation.
I agree. It’s bright. I think a crossbody bag would be nice. Um... from what in his stock, I’m thinking Theia. But I’m not impressed with this in the midi size. I’m thinking about full size now and this isn’t the color I would want in a full size bag and I don’t want another midi. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
Maybe he’ll come out with something suitable later. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
(Bringing this from the reference thread)
Thanks, southernbelle43! I am quite liking my Penelope Messenger so far, it's just the right size for when I downsize to my strict necessities but don't want to switch from using my full-sized long wallet. I do think a slightly larger version of the Penelope Messenger would be just about perfect, though, like Coastal jewel mentioned a couple pages back, but until then, this is pretty great for a grab and go crossbody!
Even with out the detail, crossing fingers for you that your order comes quickly!
I think TNT has quick for shipping times but their tracking is less-than detailed. I preferred it when they used DHL but in the end I did get my bags, so it ended well!
I have done this about three times _posted in the reference thread.- I start looking and just forget where I am. Can I help it...the bags are so lovely and I get carried away!!
After reviewing the customization reference thread, I was just thinking that it would be great to have some lighter color vacchetta options - like a grey, nude or light taupe.
Has anyone requested specific colors before? How I would love a grey vacchetta Siena!

I just asked about red Athene! If they couldn't do it (they couldn't do red venezia or red Tuscania) it would cost me an extra €100 to order it!
