I posted a few weeks ago about the edge paint cracking on my Calista that I got in October. I feel your pain. Someone else said they'd seen peeling edge paint on the Demetria.

so sorry. That is very unusual on an MM bag. Please let Marco know.
Corresponding with him now. It looks to be peeling/curling in places where the strap and strap hardware touch the top of the sides. The handle paint is just curling away from the bottom of the handles. Very sad, I love this little bag!!!
 
Keep your fingers crossed. After much back and forth with Marco I ordered an Alexia in colorblocked teal and silver diamond with the softer backing .He said it would make the bag look less boxy and look smaller while still being structured. The midi is too small so I hope this tweek works.
We are handbag color cousins. I ALMOST ordered a Phoebe in teal and pewter coloblock with Dark Gunmetal HW but for financial reasons backed out. I will live vicariously through your gorgeous bag :D
 
Good morning ladies. I feel so much better this morning. Although I think the silver glitter Pompei bag that I bought is one of his most beautiful designs, I knew that it was just not going to work for me. I like structure and I like slouch but this one was just too structured. My dear daughter came to visit. It was her birthday and she absolutely loved this bag... which she is not proudly carrying. I am so relieved that it found a good home. Anyway, all is well. She is delighted and I am also. Have a great day.
Well of course I meant she is NOW PROUDLY CARRYING.

That is going to be gorgeous. I cannot wait to see it. If I had gotten it in a softer version I would have loved it.

Your feed back helped me out. By the dimensions the Alexia should work but all the pictures and reviews made it look too big and stiff. The diamond promo made me wonder about another leather working better so I started asking Marco. As the diamond seems like a limited edition leather I felt I had to go ahead and get it now. Now it's really time for a purchasing pause.
 
Ladies, be aware that your cuff bracelet will more than likely turn on your wrist so that the heavy clasp is on the bottom. When you place your arm on a counter or hit it on your side, etc., it opens. Twice I had it fall off while I was out shopping. Fortunately i was aware of it and did not lose it.

I am so glad it helped. TPF Is such a fabulous resource for us, so we can evaluate the styles, the leathers, the colors, how the bags wear etc., and make a decision.

Mine is a perfectly snug fit, so it stays in place. I considered going a size larger, but this is a valid concern, so I'll stick with the small. Because there's no way I won't be ordering more.

Secondly, I'm obsessed with the idea of a tangerine nappa mini bucket bag, and would love to see Marco's take on that style. The orange is so awesomely obnoxious, and would be a great shot of color in a mini bucket style. Le sigh.

What size bracelet did you buy and what is the measurement of your wrist?
