I just have to brag on myself and my incredible self discipline. I have not bought ONE handbag this year!!
You’re very good! I saw you around in so many threads about amazing bags. Great discipline and self-control! [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Happy New Year! I want to thank our lovely Cowumbut for trusting me and sending me two beautiful Angels all the way by surface. They arrived just before New Year and were so beautifully packed. I really like the full size Angel a lot, so much so I may sell my Midi Angel now. My mom chose the Emerald Pebbled Leather with silver hardware and I kept the Turquoise nappa with dark gunmetal hardware. Planning to move into it for today.
I might be interested in your midi Angel. [emoji6] Just please keep in mind. [emoji3]
Thanks for the tips, vink! An extended strap is something on my list too, I'm close to your height (about 5' 5"), and definitely want the flexibility of crossbody wear.
As for lining, thanks for sharing your experience! I was definitely toying with getting a fun contrasting lining, but I probably would end up stuffing Aura pretty full with my things... Sounds like it definitely differs from Penelope Messenger (since Penny Messenger is softer, and I don't always fill the front and back zip compartments, I still normally get a peek of the contrasting lining, in addition to that sliver that peeks up at the top!). Upgraded lining probably won't be something I'll spring for in Aura, unless they have a free lining upgrade promo again!
Just chiming in from the 3 or so times I've used my Trinity Penny Messenger* (and the additional handling when I was taking those comparison pics), I do think it's beginning to lose the initial super-plasticky feel that it had, though overall, it's still noticeably more coated-feeling than the Verona and most of the other leathers in the swatch folder. Hopefully, it'll progress further in this direction. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, @HopelessBagGirl, that your Trinity Aura starts to feel less plasticky!
(* - I am still monitoring the Dark Green Trinity leather specifically for how it wears overall, though, given how the colour/dye doesn't seem to penetrate the leather, and seems to sit on top as a coating... Initial comments here, for ease of reference, in case anyone stumbles upon this post whilst searching. As it's just been used a few times, I'm still reserving judgment, but I'm a bit concerned how this will hold up in the longer run...

Marco will ship mine on Jan 9th. I can’t wait to get it since I’m super curious. I’m on my 2 Verona Selene Midi since mid December (mostly the dark blue) so I’m very curious to see how the dark green trinity will fare out since I’m a Verona fan and the fact that they took trinity info out of the website is very strange.
I’m so in love with my Zhoe [emoji1] so I’d buy another (or two..) one. It would be either in violet nappa or brownrose or bronze.. I’m quite surprised how easy the Zhoe is to use! I can double up the strap for shorter shoulder bag style as I always do with my Alexas, it’s so practical! [emoji4]
Wow that looks so good on you. I love the color of the leather and the Angel style is such a pretty bag.
Glad to hear this. I am awaiting my black Vacchetta Zhoe and hope that it will work for me!!!
Definitely Aura in Oxblood Vachetta with GHW and a Flora in Crystal Pink Merinos
Me neither! Aren't we doing great? [emoji23] [emoji12] [emoji56]I just have to brag on myself and my incredible self discipline. I have not bought ONE handbag this year!! [emoji3][emoji3]
My mother returned this Aphrodite in Black Africa leather to me because it was heavy for her. (She’s only 4’11”.) I’m wearing her today because it’s cold and rainy.
