That sounds lovely. I hope I did not scare you off, I seem to be the only one saying this, but I have to be honest.

I agree it's a distinctly different leather than the other MM selections. IMO there is some similarity with the flat calf, but Pompei has a lower sheen. Still, definitely HOLDS its shape!

Ok. I did it... the ditherer ordered. Little muse Pearl Grey pebbled with blue lining, gold hardware. I just love the gold. And special strap that Marco has done for me on my Pennie messengers. Decided I really have no light neutral summer purses. I loved the little muse in pebbled denim on the blog and I think pompei is just too stiff for me...

Oh this will be beautiful! I didn't even go to light neutral, for some reason thinking about the colors I have seen / know of in your collection. The combination will be absolutely timeless.

Maybe I could go with bluette in pompeii? I wish I could find the blue jean aquila again to decide. I would like a shade between bluette and navy that is somewhat structured. I may be too late anyway as Marco hasn't answered my email from this morning.

Did you find the photos? I posted my Modena in blue jean Aquila on the reference thread, page 25.

Thank you. I like the color in this picture but odebdo's Calista looks darker than I want. Marco suggested iris Verona

Blue Iris Verona would be lovely! It's a nice medium blue, not too dark but not too light either. I posted pics of my Penelope in Blue Iris Verona in the reference thread not long ago. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...-only-no-chatter.908113/page-26#post-32073476

Are you looking for this in a structured style, though, as I remember from a few posts/pages back? If so, Verona is actually a pretty puddly leather, FYI... If you're considering a less structured style instead, though, I say go for it! :tup:

What about the Divina or Arianna in the pompei? One TPF lady has the Divina in the Everose pompei and it I stunning. She has a picture of it on the FB BST group.

I think my heart is set on the Selene! I’ve been thinking of buying it for a year but other bags have gotten in the way, but I’m at last finding myself in need of a big tote. I think one day I’d love to own everose Pompei in one bag…

I don't mean to belabor the point and I love all of my MM bags, but stiff does not get it in describing this leather. It goes past stiff. And I hope I don't scare people away from it. It is just such a difference from all of the other MM's leathers that I have...vacchetta, nappa, merinos, Africa, nubuk, etc. It took me by surprise.

Your comment has me so curious what this leather feels like!! I really can’t imagine it. Marco has responded to my email and said pretty much the same thing, so a “no” it is to the glitter Selene! I think I’ll stick to my original Venezia plan. He sent me a sweet and helpful email, which I’ll attach here. I think I’m finally going to buckle down and focus my attention on saving for this bag!

So many beautiful bags here. I'm such a sucker I got the 20% off email and placed my first ever order (after looking at it for ages). I just ordered the Penelope messenger in lion brown pebbled leather and the phoebe in taupe. I'm so excited! I was after a casual small cross body bag and these two seems to fit the bill.
Still the 40€ for shipping to Australia was a bit hard to swallow but even then it's such a good deal for an all leather bag!

Thank you ladies for all your help. Does anyone have any experience with Aquila matte? I saw a picture on the forum of a bag in blue jean Aquila matte and really liked the look.

I have a dark brown Selene. The leather is truly amazing. It’s thick and silky to touch. It just hug and drape luxuriously. It’s also seems to absorb oil and element very well though so I’m varied with the light color because I don’t know if by absorbing oil, will the color turn darker or not. But I think that it’ll be a leather that age amazingly well. Aside from Verona, this is another one that I like the most.

Funny, Marco recommended the Verona . Does anyone have bluette in pompei?

Which bag model you’re looking for? His leather recommendation can also based on the bag. Verona will slouch nicely, too, but Pompeii will be stiff and hold the shape. Verona also has a recent released that’s between blue and purple.

I told him I wanted a Juliet that didn't puddle into a pancake. I prefer a deep blue that isn't a blue / black .

I see. Verona has a deep blue that’s truly amazing. It’ll flop a bit, but won’t puddle like a pancake. Aquila matte will puddle like that though. If you want a stiff style, maybe ask for his suggestion more?

A Selene in red Venezia would be absolutely outstanding. I sold my Penny messenger in blue Venezia because of the style, but the leather is not like any other. It took me months to have nerve enough to sell it because I did not want to part with that leather. You won’t be sorry.
