I am fine with it if it is indeed not a missed step in manufacturing. I plan to order another! I love it that much!@DesigningStyle , I am totally speculating, but I think leaving edges with no glazing is a decision workshop makes when the said edges are a subject to a lot of draping and bending. As an example - I just realized that the edges of my soulmate midi top are not glazed either, and that's probably a good thing because the bag stretches and drapes in and out whenever you wear it, and that would inevitably lead to some cracking. Similar with Sabrina - as you probably discovered yourself, a big part of the fun carrying that bag is that you can be out and about and wear it multiple ways, flopping the sides in different way or shoulder carry. I suspect the arm hole is glazed because it's a decorative element. I think Marco's been extremely busy lately (I haven't heard from him on several occasions lately either) and perhaps when you order you next Sabrina, you can communicate your desire to have edges painted as a part of your order and see what he says. Personally, unglazed edges don't bother me in the slightest - I actually noticed mine only because I was bored waiting at a Dr' appointment and was inspecting my bag to entertain myself
For those who aren’t big on colorblocking, I was thinking it would be interesting to do both Pompei and flat calf in the same color so the contrast would just be with surface shine. Like matte white (Pompei) and gloss white (flat calf)... or matte blue and gloss blue... etc. This would be dependent on the tone being close between the two leathers though.
That's such a good idea! I think this bag also appealed to my color-block love/hate because you could have the shell color blocked, and then the inside bag w/o color block could be carried separately.
Oh I just thought....Tan and black pompei would be an amazing AND versatile colorblock. Because it would match your brown shoes and coats AND your black ones. Assuming you aren't wearing a print in your outfit.
But I'm excited about my pewter/platinum colorblock because to me that just means it goes with any jewelry metal tone and definitely with any textile in any color or print.

Mine is the same way as yours. I never noticed it before, but I do believe it was intended to be that way.
I ordered a Little Tulipano in amethyst with a slip pocket. I had been deciding about a Little Muse vs a Little Tulipano. I live near the beach and thought the artisan look and feel of the Little Tulipano would be a fun bag in a fun bright color. Something different. Also chose silver hardware.
Those would be lovely combos! I’m mulling over these possibilities:
- dark green vacchetta with dark gunmetal hardware, probably standard silver lining
- oxblood vacchetta (not sure if still available) with silver hardware, maybe cappuccino lining
- dark gray flat calf with silver hardware and red lining
- light grey Pompei with dark gunmetal hardware and red lining
I’m trying not to be impatient but I’m wondering how long we’ll have to wait for the unveiling of the schoolbag satchel!
I will only go for the satchel is if its relatively small (ie not the business briefcase type of thing, like Siena). In that case:
Also dark green vacchetta with dark gunmetal, apple or cappucino lining
But most likely, amethyst Pompei with dark gunmetal and marine lining

Agreed! Marco has been very accommodating with offering styles in multiple sizes (especially recently), so I’m feeling hopeful on this front. Something around the Daphne size or a little smaller would be perfect for my current capacity needs. Fingers crossed!
Yes I did. Thanks Coastal jewel. I decided we had to do this together!!! Nothing like enablers and helpers!
Maybe later on the mod shot. Came home from church and changed into my grubby's. It is either dark brown or mahogany vachetta which is why I got it. i wanted to see what vacchetta was like. I think the lady who sold it to me, or traded, I cannot remember now, said it was dark brown. But it looks much more like my mahogany swatch. It is lovely.
i like the thought of the outer bag being in one color and the inner one being another as well. I am not a color block person, although every time TotinScience does one I want it!! She has the eye for that.I ordered color blocked, but could see one color, or having the shell as one with complimentary as interior bag. This bag has way too many options.I love black and caramel/brown/tan combo on other people... so I hope that the versatility of being able to have the little bag all black will get me over my “browns” issue! Everything else I’ve ordered with brown tones ends up on BST..
