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??

Yes, it’s very smooth and lovely. I suppose it’s quite hardwearing too, but of course I haven’t used it yet. [emoji4]

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.

Lovely! I take it this is the Midi? How do you think capacity compares to Daphne?

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]

Were you surprised at how structured it is? I was. I am not complaining. I am just used to MM's bags, even the Zhoe in vacchetta being a little bit soft and this Alexia is rigid for a better word. That said I LOVE IT.

It is the midi. Here is what I carry daily. The yellow is a Penny midi used as a wallet, the silver is a long pencil case for makeup and also I carry the phone I am using to take this picture. It is the large iPhone.

Here is the Alexia loaded. The first thing I notice is how it looks with the phone and my keys in the outside pockets. The bulges might bother some, it does not bother me. Also I like for my phone to stick up and others might not like this, especially if you commute or do things daily that would make it easy for someone to snatch it out of the pocket. I had to remove the fox puff though.

Everything fits nicely, no room to spare, but easy to get things out.
Next is the Daphne, however, it has an added outside pocket and an extra inside zippered pocket, so it is not a fair comparison to a regular Daphne and it is soft so it has more give.

i have the phone in sideways, but it would also stick up if I had it upright. And the fox tail key hold is there as well.

So I would say they are comparable in what they carry.
I just received this Alexia a couple of hours ago and just now had time to load it up and really look at it. This bag in the silver glitter and the one posted earlier in the lovely everose are incredibly unique and beautiful. I don't think you will see anything like them with any other brand. They are truly "one of a kind."

PS I am on an official bag ban having received one yesterday and one today BUT I may have to have a small leather item, like another Penny midi, in the Athene lipstick color which is the most beautiful pure red I have ever seen.

Lovely reveals. Marco said my Aura is finished but we're having problems getting PayPal to release the funds. Everything show fine on my end but the payment is on hold on his end. Anyone else had this problem?
