FYI I got a response from Marco he said my pink nappa Zhoe is not the same leather as the hot pink nappa. The new Hot Pink Nappa is slightly darker and more saturated than the pink nappa used to produce my Zhoe.
Really love the color of your pink bag.
I am taking the plunge with the new hot pink in a coloblocked bag (my first!) - together with tangerine nappa.

Thank you for the info! [emoji4] Your bag is so lovely so maybe the leather will be available later.

Well, I took the plunge and placed an order.. And quite exciting one, at least in my opinion. [emoji4] I ordered a grande Aura in everose glitter pompei with gold hardware and pink lining. I can’t wait it to arrive! I love dusky pink colours so I’m sure I’ll love it!

I can't wait to see, I am eyeing that leather in that color too. Maybe a Theia or a Diva....

Looking forward to seeing it. I've been thinking about a Stella for a while. I think the silver glitter Pompeii may add a certain glitz to the Stella making it a really pretty bag for dressy events.

I think a Stella in silver glitter Pompeii will be amazing. I have one in Cobalt blue Croco print and it is such a great bag. I find that I am able to use it during the day and at night. Such a fun bag.

I am dying to see glitter silver Pompei IRL. I am thinking of another mini Muse or Penny messenger.

Can’t wait to see this pink! I am sure this will be a gorgeous bag. :)

Anyone had an issue with cracking edge paint on a Calista? I have several different leathers from Marco, and this is the first time I've had this issue. I'm not sure if it's the design of Calista or what, but disappointed that a purse from Last October has cracking issues. I did contact Marco concerning edge paint brands, and I've read here that Vernis edge paint is really good. We will see. The pictures show the worse of the cracking, but there are cracks by the magnetic closure as well.

I have had no issue with my Calista but I did purchase a Demetra from a nice tPF lady and the edge paint on the handles is a little distressed - I've seen that on a couple other Demetras in the resale world.
Curious to hear what Marco suggests - I have some MM bags that have soft, flat handles (Selene) which get worn to death and show no issues with the edge paint. I wonder if these slouchier styles with less reinforcing put strain on the edges or something?

Oh! I’m sorry your bag got a problem. I hope Marco can help you. Mine is still fine, but then again I wore it less than a handful of time. But the handles of my Selene which I wear to death has nothing wrong. They still look very great.

That's interesting about Demetra. Are these the flat or rolled handles version you've noticed it on? Marco gave paint suggestions of Leather Max and Tarrago. He also said some customers have had success with Tandy Leather Eco-Flo Leather Dye. I read here about Vernis Edge Paint which is supposed to be good (used by Louis Vuitton and Hermes). So, we will see.:smile:
