So after much back and forth , hemming, hawing, trying to figure out what i need and with Marco’s help- I finally put in the right order for me. Instead of the Muse in everose, I went with the regular Divina in everose , gold hardware, marine lining, with quite a few customization. I’m doing a zip pocket in the back (to hold my flats), a water bottle holder inside, along with padded laptop compartment and then a credit card holder inside the front pocket (ease of access for ID card). I also added on a matching tassel key ring and accessory strap. It’s only 10% off but I’m so desperate for a proper work bag that I can take to court but isn’t the same boring black tumi, mz Wallace, longchamp nylon stuff.

I’m also getting a plum pebbled card holder and tangerine Nappa little Penelope.

I will post pics of it all when i get it. My Alexia in blush pompei is due to arrive tomm!

I’m a sucker for “millennial pink” type of shades ;)
 
Ok ladies this a a cry for help seriously. I’m a smaller bag person. Even sulfate midi tends to overwhelm me although I have several (note to self... don’t buy more). Daphne is a great satchel and I have plenty of room. I can also function well with the size of the Penelope messenger. So. Little muse or Little Athena. I shall not dither away a 20 percent off w lining upgrade! Thank you.

Disclaimer- I’ve not owned either. However, if i were to buy, it would be Little Athena for me personally...I like having the pocket and zipper closure. For me, those are almost must haves.

Little Muse gets my vote!
 
starkfan. I have a penny messenger with a detachable strap and dark gunmetal. After I read your post I looked at it, and it is in excellent shape. I am only 5’2 and asked for a shorter and adjustable strap so MM made it totally customized and I can use the longer strap for shoulder or crossbody, or shorter one to carry at my wrist. I have two other penny’s but this modification makes this one perfect. View attachment 3996953View attachment 3996954
Thanks for the info, Coastal jewel! That's good to know that your dark gunmetal is holding up well... I'm gonna have to decide quickly on whether the 20% off is good enough to help with the cost of the hardware upgrade and other customisations I'm thinking of... :panic:

Little muse or little Athena?
I say Little Muse! It's a more unique look and design than Little Athena, IMO...

I would do little Muse with a top zip closure instead of the magnet.
 
I'm interested in the Grande Aura. Marco said the port is more classic while the dark fuscia is more bold. On the website when "building" the bag the colors look very close. There is no rich red listed as being available in the merinos leather. I would probably reach for the port bag more anyway as it would work with most of my clothes. I just don't have an outstanding red bag.

I don't own a little Athena, so I'd vote little Muse!

I wanted to buy a bag today after my successful 3 month ban , because I think one bag for spring would be quite mindful...but no matter how much i tried to think about how I could use this discount and buy a MM, I just couldn't figure out a combination of sale styles and leathers that I wanted.
If Angelica would have been in the sale I would have gone for dark green vachetta with zipper closure and light blue lining. A midi Selene zip would have tempted me...
So I bought another luxe expandable tote from Laurel Dasso on Etsy.
