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.

What leather are you referencing here?

I have always wondered how the legend looks if you carry a lot in it? Does it become a large triangle shape?

You mean triangle-ish from the side? I can’t recall now (bag is sleeping in the closet[emoji6]), but as far as I remember, I have not been bothered by how it looks full. I actually didn’t think that the 2 thinner compartments would hold a lot, but surprise surprise, they do!

I think the flat calf is slightly thicker and stiffer than Pompei. But the Pompei has much less sheen (I think somebody said this too.) I don’t have vachetta so I cannot cross compare further.

The Pompei is not that stiff IMHO in the Muse style. Maybe for Alexia there is backing that makes it seem stiffer? Just thinking.

Does anyone own both regular and midi Theia? How big of a difference is between the two in terms of size and what they fit? Modshots of lovely ladies carrying each one don't seem to reveal much difference , but it could be due to heights of said respective lovely ladies :)

Darn, his extension of the sale did me in. I have loved mud verona ever since I saw it on a calista that someone posted last year, and I have been seeking a “plain” tote. So I ordered a mud Verona Theia midi, gold hardware, red lining and outside zipper pocket. Now does anyone know where my local Purse Anonymous Meetings are held???

I was so happy when midnight came as I thought the temptation was over. I had even started to type up an email order but deleted it at 11:50. Going to hold strong. I am going to wait for my tax refund before treating myself to another MM bag. If you find a MM Anonymous meeting, please let me know.
