The email from Collette shows the shell and the inner bag from all different angles. Did you get that one? Here are the pictures she posted.View attachment 4049187View attachment 4049189View attachment 4049190View attachment 4049192View attachment 4049193

I had to read through it again. I think the shell is the inner part of the outside bag. (If that makes sense)

Now... the special is 2 colors.. one leather, so I assume that means picking either Pompeii of Flat calf but you can pick two colors within that leather group?
 
You could be right that the picture of the shell is of the outer colorblocked part. I actually like that better than the 3 pieces I first thought. The snaps can be undone to exchange the inner bag for another color bag if you want. In other words this style allows mixing outer leather shells with inner bags to give multiple combos.

Oooh! Good to know. Hearing this makes me want to wait to see the satchel bag before trying to modify the Grande Aura with a top handle. The satchel may be just what I need. Thanks for the information and your advice everyone!!

I think so but not sure. I asked about a school satchel and he answered: "A new style that I adore is finally ready to debut. Stay tuned."

It does which means choosing leathers and colors to use to leave multiple options open just got more complicated. Lol
My savings are intact waiting for the satchel! Hurry Marco!

Yes. I think two pieces... the outside can be color blocked (or not) and the inside can be the same leather or different. The outside has to be Pompeii or Flat Calf and the inner bag can be any leather buy vachetta.

Just had a browse on the website and noticed some of the older styles are now appearing and the Africa leather is also back. Makes me want to put an order through for something anything ha!

Just a question for you guys with multiple of Marcos bags;
What is your favourite big and small bag? In what colour /leather combo? Are they lightweight?

My favourite styles of bags are the neverfull for work and pochette metis/celine trio for everything else.

I'm now waiting patiently for the next sale
Looking forward to hear what your answers are! I am looking to add a large tote style bag and another cross body in fun colours.

I have (had) nappa, merinos, africa, pebbled, pompei, verona, natural calf, and here are my faves:
for structured bags - pompei/natural calf (Angelica, Muse)
bags that allow slouch - nappa (midi Minerva, midi Selene)

Sorry, I may not have answered your big/small bag question. :smile:
 
Lol. You are going to get opinions that are completely opposing!
This is sort of akin to asking which of your children you love the most! I have selene, Daphne, Zhoe, Aphrodite, soulmate, sabrina, theia, penelope and penelope midis. . Right now my favorite is the Theia in Verona. Tomorrow, well.....
Here is my list (purely subjective of course)
Best tote is the selene. Easy to get into, holds a lot. In merinos it is fairly lightweight BUT it will slouch a lot in that leather. I also have it in Africa but it is a little heavier. Holds its shape better.
Best small bag is the Penelope. Do not do crossbody so others can help you with that
Most elegant leather is Vacchetta, most elegant bag is Zhoe
Best everyday leathers are Verona and Africa. Easy to maintain and wear well Pebbled does too, but not my favorite
Smoothest, silkiest is nappa
Athene is pretty cool....shiny and slick.

I am not good at descriptions but some others are great at it. I really should have stayed out of this and let them do it.

In summary there are no bad leathers or styles.

My favorite is definitely the Zhoe. It's elegant and practical at the same time. It is not big or tiny and it fits all my essentials. I can't wait to see how it could look in pompei. I really wish there were more flat calf colors.

I love Selene. Both full size and midi. It’s a tote that’s just great. You have to try it to know the difference. I prefer the original open top, but I have the midi with customized zipper top as well. I have huge arms and need to lengthen the straps for midi, but the full size is just perfect. And for plain leather, Selene zip make it even more special with those zippers along the side.

And for crossbody, I like Theia midi. It’s cute.

I’m all for slouchy bags so my favorite leathers are Verona, Aquila Matte, and Merino. I like pebble, too, but that’ll depends on the color. They weight ok, but will never be as light as LV coated canvas.

Someone compiled this list long time ago so some leathers maybe missing.

From the lightest weight to the heaviest
Merinos
Athene
Africa
Nappa
Nabuk
Pebbled calf
Vacchetta
