I like the Muse a lot, though I am not ready to order at this time. In any case, I have been thinking a lot about which leather would probably best suit it for me. I've discovered sometime ago that I don't like MM's pebbled. I prefer matte pebbled leathers. I also prefer nappa over merinos. But shouldn't I branch out from nappa? It's actually my go to MM leather. I also like my Angelica in natural calf so much, but will that leather suit a big bag like the Muse? And there are limited leather colors, though I 'need' a grey bag and there is a nice flat calf grey. So basically, my dilemma is, which leather suits this big handheld (mostly for me) bag? And the reality is, I have a lot of bags and I really don't know what colors I still NEED (maybe except grey).
I hope Marco offers this exact leather. It's truly beautiful.
It is gorgeous! This leather is similar to the grey glossy , and as far as I remember they were the only ones. The red, yellow, orange and purple glossies were a bit different.
I too have known Marco and his bags now for more than ten yrs, and yes, his work and dedikation is amazing!!
I actually like this bag of yours. I wonder if Marco will release something similar to this. [emoji848]
I’d say Nappa. I think this bag will look good with its shape in place, not slouchy. I have no experience with flat calf, but among those I’ve tried, I’d say Nappa.
I was thinking the same thing. I would have to have a bag in that leather and that color!
Thanks. The Siena is somewhat similar, except my bag has longer handles that can be worn over the shoulder if you have slim arms. It has two zippered compartments like the Siena.
The glossy leather is special; it makes the dark navy color really saturated and beautiful.
Yes, it's very similar to the Athene. Although, I feel like the glossy leather was/is a little thicker.
And sturdier too. My BE Sheen leather has worn out so bad I got rid of it ( donate to family and friends) , I regret choosing sheen over glossy. I still hang on to the pebbled and matte ones though. Still love them!
Just received a new-to-me midi Angel from a lovely South East Asia neighbor tpfer. This style is really beautiful!! If I may say so, Angel is not very photogenic, but she is lovely IRL! Thanks Sora!!
Some of you who own this bag have commented that you would want a longer strap drop. Even if my climate here will not have me wearing a coat, my preference is also for a longer one. I have a faux leather wide strap that I received from my Secret Santa in the office and I tried it on, the length and style are right! It’s shown in the 2nd photo, but I will look for one that matches the color better. The default long strap is the right length for me.

Yes, All the glossies are thicker! The ones holding the best are the midnight blue, petrol ( it looks like sheen petrol but is a glossy)and grey.The others got small tiny corner wears after a while.. at least mine did!!
