Hi Vink, I'm researching the Thea. What don't you like about the midi size? And could you also compare with the midi Minerva (you had (have?) one, right?). Thanks!!

The size is good. I just wish I had it made with outside pocket so I have easier access to my mobile. It’s much lighter than midi Minerva. (I let it go to a happy colleague. Green is her favorite color. [emoji4]) it’s a bit smaller than Midi Minerva, but I think it holds more due to the shape of the bag. I actually contemplating getting a full size, but wonder if it’d look good on me crossbody. Aquila matte should be perfect for it since I’d love it to drape and the leather is seriously scrumptious. [emoji16]

Thanks for this Vink! I'm thinking I might want the regular size more. I intend to use it mainly as a shoulder bag and not crossbody. I'm surprised that the midi could hold more than the midi Minerva.

I'm considering Merinos (for slouch and being lightweight) or Verona (really love this leather in a slouchy style, not in ructured as my previous Angelica). The con for Verona is the weight. And I love the new colors too!

Both leather will do amazingly for Thia. Great choices you have there. [emoji1360][emoji1360] I think a full size will be very pretty coz the strap is a very neat trick for shoulder bags. Verona will make it a hardy bag while Merino will just make you want to pet or keep your hands on it all day long. [emoji16]

Does anyone have the exterior slip pocket on a theia? I have two midi size and it’s probably my favourite MM style. I wear mine as shoulder bags and added external zip pockets to both as I thought the slip pocket might gape in a soft drapey leather. However I’m always wondering if I could have saved a few euros!
 
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:

I have a burgundy Aura with gunmetal hardware and it is wearing really well with no problems. I really like the gunmetal with the burgundy such a great combination.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about Theia (not for ordering soon though). But I can't decide between midi and regular size. I think you have both? I'm not sure you have a midi Minerva, if so, could you compare the size of the regular Theia vs. the midi Minerva? How do the size feel when carried? I have the midi Minerva so a comparison would be very helpful. Thanks!
I have three full size Theias (Athene, Verona, Merinos) but this will be my first Theia midi. I've got a Minerva Midi so can compare regular Theia with midi Minerva for you. I love the full size Theia - I don't find it heavy at all and love to wear it crossbody or on the shoulder.

Just curious. It would be so fun to have a bag made to exact specs as many bags are 'almost' right and a tweak here or there would make them perfect.

I think that does not work. MM will customize but is also very particular about his creations. If he thinks a style will work in a smaller size he will make a midi or little model.. and yes I wish some were just a little bigger smaller, shorter taller... [emoji4][emoji4]. And the amount of customization we can do with handles, zippers, pockets, leathers and lining is pretty awesome at this price point.
