4 midi and 2 full-size. I know it’s a great bag, but also denim is very close to Arctic Nappa that I have, therefore I think I want it in other style. [emoji4]

Was looking at his site.. I love the Minerva Midi, does anyone have that one? Beautiful bags
It is a very beautiful bag. [emoji4] One of his earlier models. Many of us here have it. You can see more of it in the reference thread! [emoji4]
You can also join our Massaccesi BST Group on Facebook. That’s a good way to dip your toes into the MM pool by buying a preloved one from one of us!
I got my first midi Minerva this autumn from the FB BST and just had to get another one with the extended flap in a lighter and darker color leather.
It's a fabulous bag; love that single shoulder strap. However, keep in mind that the flap and side pleats creates a lot of weight even in a lightweight leather. I don't mind too much because the strap is so comfy, but it was surprisingly heavy on the scale, like my second heaviest bag. I didn't even weigh the nabuk one; I'm sure it's even heavier, so that would make the one in the lightweight Aquila matte leather my third heaviest bag I suppose! The design just accumulates weight with the flap needing to be a full double layer of leather, especially an extended flap.
I still think it is one of my favorite MM bags! So functional and easy to use and the strap is super comfy and stays put so well.
That and the midi Selene (capacity! Pretty hardware!) and the Aura (light and streamlined and elegant!) are, I think, my tippy top favorites.

Wow, that’s quite often! I’ll just have to wait for the next sale then. [emoji4]
How is payment made when you order via email? There’s no (lighter) violet nappa in online store, but Marco kindly answered my email that the leather is in stock.
I'm not afraid of heavy bags, I have some old Koobas that are really heavy so that's OK. I just think the design is beautiful. Thank you so much for replying!!
No problem. This style is one of the most popular here, so I think you best jump on it!
I have to say that now after using a combo deep blue africa flora and cardholder as my wallet/WOC wristlet-o-necessities, I’m really happy with it. I have the 3 slots in the flora plus ten on the cardholder, and I can manage with those 13 although half of the slots have multiple cards in them. The slot for bills in the flora is awesome and all the coins go of course in the cardholder zipper compartment which thankfully opens and shuts.
I can put my lippie, headphones, phone, and keys with room to spare in the flora with the cardholder inside. It’s a really nice grab and go item, with wristlet attachment or strap, or then it’s my wallet with the strap detached and tucked into it (or I just allow the strap to be loose/ everywhere inside my bag).

Oh wow! That is definitely your style!
Hmmm, denim and artic nappa are several shades apart....[emoji56]
I agree with you about finding a different style for the color, though. Calista is perfect in the denim, but it's huge! I dream of a small or even mini Calista.
Did you get that beautiful color blocked Zhoe? I am trying to remember the colors all I know is that I absolutely loved it. Out of all the color blocked bags I loved that one the most. I was never sure I would like or do any color blocked bag but that Zhoe was amazing.
It is. [emoji4] It’s cold today so I have my heavy cardigan on and with the 11” extended strap drop, it fits nicely. I just love everything about it. [emoji4] The organizing system is also awesome. There’s place for everything. [emoji4]
I already have 2 blues for Selene midi so, I don’t think I can handle a denim Selene midi. [emoji28] it really has to be something else. [emoji28]
I like the Calista and actually own one, but it doesn’t stay on my super sloped shoulders well. Nothing stay on them anyway. I just have to find the model that fits. Sounds easy, but not really. [emoji28]
Question to anyone who own a Zhoe Legend;
Do your bag have wings?
I’m not much of a wings on smaller bag type of person. That’s why I can resist the Zhoe. [emoji4] But I don’t know about Zhoe Legend. The side of the bag look straight to me, but I’m not sure. [emoji28]
