Oh... it’s last year, I think, when the Aegean blue just came out. It’s the most beautiful happiest blue I’ve ever seen. [emoji4] I’m not home now. I can take a photo for you when I’m back. [emoji4]

Because if we’re listing leather that we like, I’m contemplating designing my next bag. [emoji16]
With a dark blue leather, which color do you prefer as a lining among light pink, lilac, and light fuchsia? Normally, I’d go with sage, but I think I want a change and can’t decide. [emoji28]

Oh, ok. Thanks!
I'll look further back in the picture only thread.
I'm loving the Theia more and more! You have one lovely bag!!! I can't decide if I should go with midi or regular size when I do order. I'm shorter than you at almost 5'4". But if the leather will be slouchy, then I think I would prefer the bigger size since I want to carry it as a hobo and I want it to be a nice size when it slouches at the top middle part. On the other hand, I was thinking if the style can be made in Pompei that is a more structured leather, maybe I would prefer the midi. I don't know, so confusing!!!
I don't know because this is the first one I have had. I really was quoting some other posters who used that term. It is rather a negative term and I don't mean it in that way at all. And now that I see the lead Africa I wish I had listened to TotinScience and ordered something in that leather. It is special.
I agree with you about the Theia and Verona. It does seem to be a match made in heaven!!
Yesterday I went back through this thread and the pictures only thread looking at mud Verona. I cannot find even one picture that shows its true color. It photographs a whole lot lighter and more beige than it is. One poster even said that it has a very very faint purple undertone and I can see that. It is an unusual color and I love it!! In the picture below you can see the purple undertone coming out, but it is not that purple. Argggg. Cannot capture that color.
And is this not the coolest strap ever!!!

It is hard to decide. I carry very little in my bags, so getting regular sizes would be a total waste of space. On the MM blog it states that the regular size Theia is 20% bigger. I don't know if that helps you at all. As for height I encourage you to use whatever size you love. Who cares. i honestly can say I have never seen anyone in the wild and thought well that purse is too big or too small for her?? Life is too short to worry about things like that.
As a lover of glazed leather and owner of an Athene bag, just wanted to say that the Athene is a classic glazed leather, at once glossy and smooshy. It will break in nicely and be distressed (think Balenciaga), which differentiates it from the glossy stiff leathers like flat calf. My favorite bags are in glazed leather.
Oooh, and now the thoughts of getting a smooshy bag in Athene comes back into the ring.
My shipment just came! Love the Bordeaux Tuscania leather, and the fact that the Penny midi is somehow larger than I thought. The only annoying bit is that the zipper won't close all the way. Could that be because it's new and stiff?
The tangerine nappa cuff is perfection! It's fantastically bright, just in time for spring and summer!
