I had to pay duty when MM used DHL this was about 3 years ago. MM used DHL for a while and then changed carriers. I paid about $60 when I had spent about $600. The second time I paid about $65 when I had spent about $650. Then MM changed to another carrier and I have not paid any duty since then. I remember someone posting that they had to pay duty when it was sent via the USPS which I was amazed to hear. She indicated that it only happened one time. It seems as though it has been very inconsistent when it comes to duty charges on lower amount purchases below the normal threshold amount of around $800. The last bag I ordered which was the Bespoke pink leather Zhoe was shipped via TNT and took about 3 or 4 days to arrive. Currently I think with all the bad weather on the east coast there has been a slight delay with shipping.

Black midi muse with center zippered compartment. I think the zipper compartment doesn't allow the sides to go in as much as the standard version. Or is it just my imagination lol. Since it's Verona, though, I think it will be okay since it will get slouchy over time. As far as the mod shots,I’m 5’2”. There was a surprise in my box, got the new Spring Summer colors swatches. Yay! I’ve already tried scratching up the Pompei glitter swatches. I can only see scratches on the blue one.

This is beautiful!! And I think the right size for everyday carry!! Totally love it!
I will get a midi sister for my regular Muse when the money tree has spit out cash.
Hope this is soon.
I haven’t been on the forum for a while but today my grande Aura in everose pompei arrived so of course I just have to reveal it to you lovely ladies. [emoji4] And, it’s gorgeous! [emoji177]
And here are the swatches! I’m so happy I got them as now I know I’ll just have to have something in hot pink nappa! First I thought to go for a pink Athene, but I changed my mind. Even though it’s very pretty too.
Edit. Actually, the hot pink nappa is irl more muted than in this pic, and even more lovely. [emoji4]

This is a better pic of the hot pink nappa. [emoji4]
After seeing that hot pink when I opened my package I was almost swayed to get a pink purse, and I’m not a huge fan of pink. It is so pretty though. I may end up getting a pouch in the hot pink.

This Aura is beautiful!!
And this Hot Pink nappa is dangerous...to my wallet!!
Aaahhhh!! Your new bag is soooo pretty! Everose Pompei is everything I love/need/want!!! I wish I could touch it. Does the texture of the leather feel soft to the touch or grainy from the sparkles? Is it smooth? Thanks so much for sharing!
Does anyone know how limited this leather is??
It is a very smooth texture, and my guess is that MM has a standard supply of this leather since it was released as a SS18 leather. The leathers that are more limited are usually introduced between the seasons.
And here is the silver glitter Alexia in all her glory. I discovered that I have nowhere in this whole house with good lighting or a good backdrop, believe me I hunted. So I used touch up to make the shot a little better. my first thought upon seeing the bag is RIGID. It is truly rigid. I foresee it being my dress up bag, not an every day one. The leather is indeed way more blingy than lead Africa, as Marco, told me. It really is stunning. For info, I am 5'6" and weigh 149.
Also, for comparison, it is almost exactly the same size as the midi Sabrina although the Sabrina is soft and does not stand up so it looks smaller. And the swatches he sent are wonderful.
