Pewter is way less gray and more brown than I expected. I thought it would be like silver but darker but it's closer to bronze. I still really like it.

These shots are AMAZING and the bags look fabulous on you!!! Also, thank you for the mod shots of the Tulipano. I didn't realize that the color blocking was the same on both sides. It helps to see from your pictures that the sides are identical. Does that make sense? I thought that say, the pewter pieces were sewn together on the sides so that the blocking had the pewter on the right on one side and then when turned around it was on the opposite side of the bag....does that even make any sense at all??

That was me!! Thank you so much for those pictures. They are very helpful. Now to decide which, if either, I need!

I recommend getting a strap. It will make your Penelope much more versatile. You can carry either size Penelope as a clutch, which I’ve done frequently lately (bridal shower, wedding, graduation).

My dark brown pebbled Penelope Midi is solely for trips to the gym. One of the most used pieces of my collection. And, the accessory strap is essential.

Thanks for the advice!! I am still debating about what size to get! Do I get the regular size and get an accessory strap?? Do I have to ask Marco to put a D ring on both sides of the bag so that I can wear it crossbody as Hopelessbaggirl has done?? (Love the look of this BTW)!! I ordered a Flora so I will have the crossbody chain.

By itself, with a long (Phoebe) strap. I took the wristlet strap off and put it on my keys and I'm loving having my keys on my wrist sometimes when I want to be hands free!
I only have a ring attached on one side, for the tassel. The other side of the bag I hooked the strap to the zipper pull! I can always get my local cobbler to add an extra hardware link if this annoys me long term.

I think the small Tulipano is a good choice for the blingy leathers. I was tempted to order a silver / platinum glitter pompei but didn't pull the trigger, yet. You have some lovely bags.

Thank you! I agree. I love small splashes of bling.
That being said the giant wine Africa Demetra posted recently was incredible! So never say never.

So the D ring and the zipper pull (when closed) are on opposite sides of the bag?? Thank you so much for all of the clarifications!!

I asked over a year ago for d ring attachments on a bag for the option to use a strap I already had and was told that the workshop only sells straps-& attachment hardware as a set, for €30. That's why this time around with my Penelope I didn't ask him to add d rings for a strap and instead just asked the tassel attached to the other side and am kind of life hacking my way into having a crossbody strap from another bag attached. Just to scrimp and save on the bag so I have enough funds for multiple bags.

The little T looks amazing on you! Just the right size, I think. And your colorblocking turned out perfect. The inner bag looks like a light mini version of the Angelica. Question: do the raw edges bother you?

Wow, the diamond leather really makes the Stella jump out as a luxurious clutch! Great choice.

I am a big fan of the accessory strap. It makes it so easy to secure your Penelope to any bag you’re carrying. When I wear a big open tote (Neverfull style), I put my valuables in my Penelope midi and just attach it to one of the inner tote handles— instantly safe from pickpockets!
