Got home from work a little early so got a chance to take pictures of my new bags.
Here is the Everose Aphrodite. This is one of my most favorite styles. I love north-south totes.
This is my Zhoe in Tan pompei. I also ordered the shorter strap shown in second picture. The shorter handle is adjustable so I can carry it by hand, on the elbow, or on the shoulder. The bag looks dressier with the shorter handle.

Wow! Thank you so much for the comparison shot! This shows so well how much different the sizes are.
I’m glad you still keep her. She’s the reason I fall in love with cobblestone. [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]
I like it with the shoulder strap on you. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] Maybe it’ll work as a crossbody? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
I broke down for the tiny bags....
Phoebe and Penelope in sparkly colors.....
(Teal and pewter, respectively, & added a tassel to the Penelope).
What cinched it was that I've been thinking of a bronze or pewter small bag for awhile and I stopped into a nice boutique today where they had a bag similar to a Penelope messenger in a metallic shade like a pewter and it was €235. But not as nice quality as MM.
Then I browsed and saw a few other metallic small bags and the quality/price ratio was nuts. There was a really really nice one that was maybe close to a mini zhoe in.... Something like a copper or dark gold diamond leather. But it was €395. Okay it was woven leather like a Bottega look, so maybe given the high end hardware on the strap (just like a zhoe strap) it was quite reasonable. But still, it just made me think that for something nicer and cheaper I'll be happier ordering this diamond promo for little metallic purses.
There was a guess one at the department store, something very much like a platinum diamond Penny messenger in okay quality for €139 I think, but it wasn't special and I would rather die than buy a guess bag.... Hahahaha

I placed an order too, even though I should have been on a ban island.. Oh well! [emoji56] I have admired a Givenchy mini Antigona in rose gold, but it costs over 1400 euros so it’a no go. When I saw this promo I just couldn’t resist! I don’t have any metallic bag in my collection either.
I ordered an everose Zhoe with pink lining and light gunmetal hardware and a bracelet in the same leather. [emoji4]

Is the leather softening with use? My bracelet was very stiff at first but after working with it then wearing it, it's becoming more pliable .
So....this is NOT the same as the diamond leather....but it is very similar per Marco....a while back he had a limited leather run of leathers some of us familiar with his work in another brand before he launched Massaccesi used...crash leathers. I loved them, and loved the idea of getting the leather in a favorite MM style...I got it out today as rain is in the forecast and I am contemplating my diamond order...
Do not be afraid of what you think is “blingy” Leather...it can work super well even in larger styles!!
My midi soulmate in pewter leather...again, NOT diamond but same family of leathers!
And just the MM pretties inside, chocolate pebbles flora as a wallet and little Penelope in plum Verona as a key pouch.

I agree, Don’t be afraid! I have a mid sized bag in the pewter crash leather Odebdo refers to and find it is a very versatile colour, not blingy at all.
However I’m restricting myself to little bags this time, platinum Stella and teal phoebe - trying to save a few pennies!
