As much as I am not a big light colors person, THIS would get my attention! I love the way vachetta wears and keeps its luster/sheen/surface quality. I would not feel shy abt using a beige or cream vachetta bag.
There was an ecru limited edition vachetta that was pretty light, about 18 months ago. Nothing since.
Amazingly when I got home from work this evening, my parcel was waiting for me in the porch, less than 24 hours from when I got the email. A Midi Theia in forest green merinos, with gun metal hardware, and a phoebe in the dark brown tuscania. Love the tuscania leather, it really makes a simple bag like the phoebe look something really special. First thought on the theia is that it will be better when the leather softens and slouches a bit. Will try and take some photos at the weekend.
Thanks, Tankgirl! I normally prefer the added security of a zipper closure, especially for a crossbody like Penelope Messenger (eg sometimes I swing my crossbody behind me when I'm bending down or stretching forward for something). Thought it was worth a shot to add one in, and I like how the look of it turned out too!
But Vacchetta will patina, right? Then, the color won’t be as light at the end. Can you handle that?
I felt the same yikes LOL! I’ve been looking at other leather options ever since
I requested the dark green vachetta and tenkrat asked for the oxblood vachetta. I think Marco tries to listen to our requests when he can.
Also, I asked for a taupe vachetta a long time ago and he brought it in- it was quite popular!
Now that I’m home, Marina will send me my Selene Midi soon. Hopefully it’ll reach me before my leave.
I requested for extended strap drop since the original length makes the hardware dig into my underarm. I’ll see how this will work. Hope that it’ll be perfect. Not too long if I choose to hold it in my hands.

My early Black Friday order has arrived at my sister's place in the US. But she has not unboxed it. It's the natural black calf Angelica. Can't wait to see it. And much more, can't wait to get it!
Where are these bags?? They are not on the reference thread. I want ecru vachetta (is that what it was called) pics!!!! Better still, I want these bags for sale in our BST! Hahaha
