It's interesting because in pictures Muse looks about the same size as Soulmate Midi (which isn't all that big), but in Colette's mod shots it looks a lot wider than I imagined. But then again I have to remind myself that Colette is petite, despite looking so willowy
. The bag is not my style, but it's definitely a looker!
That’s what I was thinking when I saw the Soulmate midi. I now have a much better idea of the size.It's interesting because in pictures Muse looks about the same size as Soulmate Midi (which isn't all that big), but in Colette's mod shots it looks a lot wider than I imagined.

Friends, I am equal parts panicked and livid. I have a beautiful dark brown vacchetta Massaccesi that I fear I just ruined. I knew the corners were showing wear. That's ok. I don't consider myself hard on my bags, but neither do I baby them to the point that they're not functional for my everyday life.
But yesterday I unthinkingly stuck a reminder to myself on my bag with scotch tape. On my way out the door, I pulled the reminder off the bag... and dark brown leather dye came off with it, leaving a visible light spot in the middle front of my bag.
Doubtless I never should have scotch taped anything to my Massaccesi. I own my part. But I never imagined that such an expensive, finely made bag would be so noticeably marred by something so minor as scotch tape. Is this a common characteristic of vacchetta? Of all dyed leathers? Or did I miss the memo banning scotch tape from within 100 feet of my Massaccesis and the blame's all on me?
And most importantly... do you think there's anything I can do to remedy the spot and the corners?

I think Sabrina's size would be limited by the..."handle-holes", as they have to be able to accomodate someone's arm. Unless they can be made small so that i cannot be worn as a shoulder bag that way, just with a strap or handheld.
- it doesn't actually look that bad considering how big of a closeup your image is! It should be fixable with leather dye given its color, like others said. I recently scratched a fairly new bag's corner over a stupid stone pillar and now it drives me crazy. I'll try that Fiebing’s brand, hopefully the color would match!
Nice to hear! I hope I will have the same nice experience as you.
Just chiming in, DHL is quite efficient here. I really hoped Marco stayed with DHL, though I have yet to find out how it is with TNT.
A midi Muse would be nice.
