I have received my cuff in sugarcane Pompei! It's really lovely - the color is a perfect neutral and I actually really like this brushed steel hardware, I hope Marco will be able to offer it in handbags as well! My wrists are 6.5 inches and small size bracelet fits me perfectly - probably partly due to the shape of my wrist, but I don't experience much of the lock turning yet. The only thing I would say is that this bracelet does look a little bit like a fitness tracker :D :D :D, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'll post my picture tomorrow :)

You are right about the tracker. LOL. I had not thought of that!

Do you ladies ever 2nd guess your creations? For instance , love the style but wish you had picked a different lining or hardware? Or maybe found out a more perfect leather from someone's reveal? Do you "remake" your bag and sell the 1st , or just decide there will always be new choices and love your creation. This is just a hypothetical for now. I can see with all the customization that it could happen

I often think I have perhaps made a mistake in my choice but if I second guess my decision all the time I would never be happy with the bags I select and decide on. I never remake my bag because it would drive me crazy I love my creation. I have made very few mistakes with the exception of a full size Divina that looked like I was carrying an overnight case it just overwhelmed me. I loved the leather but I knew never to buy a full size bag again. I always always go for midi sizes. I also ask a lot of questions from tpf ladies who have tons of MM bags and often know the different leathers and I discuss with them what I am thinking. Unfortunately it means I have purchased close to 30 MM bags not all for me. I have bought some for my daughter and a couple for my very good girlfriends when they are celebrating a special birthday. The other thing I have to admit it takes me a long time to decide what bag to select. I am not a spur of the moment kind of decision maker when it comes to selecting a bag. Also when I love a style I get it in lots of different leathers. I love color and I live in Florida so I wear lots of summer colors all the time. This was not always the case I was in Minneapolis for a long time and only moved to Florida 3 years ago. I used to only have black and brown bags but Odebdo helped me with that when I purchased my first Zhoe when MM first started his own line of bags. She told me to go with orange nappa and it was the best advice I ever received. I wear it with everything and my motto was "orange is the new black". I am not afraid of color when it comes to my bags at all and I have zero rules I wear what I want as long as it is tasteful and does not look obnoxious. Once Odebdo introduced me to color there was no stopping me. I am now thinking of a mini Muse in plum pebbled as my next bag.
Enjoy what you buy and don't second guess your choice unless it does not work for you at all - like the Divina not working for me at all. Jeez I am long winded today!!!

I also have to ask you guys if 10% off tempts any of you guys at all? With the frequency of 20% off sales this just feels underwhelming. I jumped on a 10 percent sale in September 2016 but sales were less frequent then.

If you have the exact bag in mind, I’d say order it. I’d order mine if I have any. After all, I suspect that some of the leathers won’t be available forever and sometimes, it’ll take a significant amount of order for him to order the new batch. This happened to me 5 times already. Sometimes, they can source you a new batch easily, but sometimes, they can’t do it.

So, if I have some leather in mind already, I’d say order it. Their customers aren’t only us and they’re ordering those leather, too.

To be honest, not really... My first order was with just a 10% discount (although with free upgraded lining), when MM had the sale for the last of the Verona leathers from the first batch. Because I really wanted something in Chocolate Verona (with that lovely variegation in the leather colour! :loveeyes:), I went for it, but the sales that I saw they had after that were mostly 20-25% off, if I recall correctly (this was not too long before Black Friday, so the larger discounts were linked to Black Friday too). Ever since then, 10% off also doesn't feel that tempting to me...

Yikes, that's a lot of times! :sad: So sorry to hear that... It's food for thought for sure, weighing the discount vs how much you want a particular leather/colour. But whilst I do have some bags with specific leathers in mind, I also have specific customisations in mind, and the added cost is something that usually has me still holding out for a larger discount...
