Marco said in his reply to stay tuned for new things that will be revealed! I wonder if this is a smaller Muse? 
I told him in my original email that I believe a smaller Muse will be popular. And I also asked if there will be more Pompei colors later on.

I hope so! I planned to get a Muse either way, but if a midi comes out I will try that size first.Marco said in his reply to stay tuned for new things that will be revealed! I wonder if this is a smaller Muse?
Lol! I tried (ever so lightly), there is no mark! I think this leather will not scratch easily.
This leather sounds like a dream, and more colors would be great.
Do you think it is a little firmer than Nappa even though it has more give than flat calf?
I have a midi Selene and a midi Minerva in nappa and in these styles, nappa slouches. I assume there is no backing. For the Pompei Muse, I think there is no backing or maybe just a light one (maybe you can confirm also with Marco) but it stands. Not exactly sure, but I think Pompei is thinner but firmer than nappa.
I like that. Sounds like a perfect replacement leather for flat calf for bags like the Zhoe. Would you agree?
I hope Marco brings more colors for this leather.
IMO a bag made from flat calf looks very polished and lady like. One from Pompei is not as formal/stiff.
I just have this feeling that nappa is more luxe than Pompei. I had an Athena in nappa before. I didn’t like the backing on the sides and I came to the conclusion (for myself, a personal preference) that nappa is better for unstructured styles. JMHO.
Hmmm, I didn't think you'd say that. I only have nappa in structured styles and feel they'll eventually soften a lot. Somehow I thought the pompei would do better with structured styles.
We are agreed on Pompei, I also think it is great for structured styles. Our difference in opinion is on nappa.
Oops! I neglected to mention that I was surprised that the pompei didn't seem luxe - or more luxe than Nappa. [emoji5]
Oh I see, lol. I hope somebody else would chime in for another opinion. [emoji3] Sorry I forgot who ordered the Eggplant, hope you get your bag soon!
The aubergine is for me! Am currently waiting - and WATCHING the tracking info. Hopefully my Muse will get here by Wednesday evening.
Good conversation about nappa - I own two midi divinas in nappa and just love them, which goes a little contrary to the structured forms not being suited, but I only know that I love love love the nappa. The best part of those divinas is the side pockets, just because you can really feel how pliable and wonderful the leather is. And not too heavy. Nappa's a butter soft leather, for sure, with a little body and a gorgeous sheen. Maybe the hand is more about drape than puddle, if that makes any sense. I've been thinking about a sabrina in nappa - I think that style would really show off how gorgeous the leather is.
Can't wait to see your Muse!! I have a feeling my Muse also comes through as very large because of the light color, would love to see your bag in a dark shade.
And maybe you can help describe the Pompei leather too. I'm not very good at describing textures, colors, etc. 
Nappa is my favorite MM leather. But I like flat calf and Pompei too.
