I'm hoping someone will post a similar picture with the pewter. Hint hint. For me it's sometimes hard to visualize the colors without an actual swatch so I thought it might help. Sorry if it tempts also. I understand that too . Why do you think FedEx has been to my door too many times lately.

Gold would be my preference with the brown leathers. I hope TotinScience will chime in. She helps me pick my linings because she has a creative mind and as an attorney I have no imagination whatsoever or fashion taste! Lol
I already did
, I think @Devyn Danielle will get a stunning bag no matter what, but gold would be my preference here as well .
I have a grande Aura in everose pompei, so I can highly recommend that leather too! It’s really lovely. [emoji4]
This looks gorgeous! [emoji4] I was a little afraid that the regular size could be too big (as I think the small one is a little too small for my liking), but actually it looks just perfect! [emoji3] I’m also going to pass this sale as I have to do a little saving first but I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy a Valerie in flamingo merinos this summer.
I missed it. Yea for me, right. I am getting better!!!I already did
My only wish for the Valerie satchel is that the top handle was on hinges/rings/whatever, so that when it's not engaged, it could flatten against the top of the bag slightly, instead of sticking out. For some reason I am not a fan or rigid handles - one of the reasons I decided to pass on all things Muse, despite how gorgeous it is otherwise. Valerie's handle doesn't seem to stick up too much though, so I am just being overly picky .
.Finally posting pics of my Diamond leather SLGs that arrived earlier this week! I ordered a Teal Diamond leather Flora with marine lining, Copper Diamond leather cardholder with red lining, and tassels in Teal and Pewter Diamond leather, all with dark gunmetal hardware (first two pics under a mix of weak indirect natural lighting and artificial lighting; third pic under artificial lighting only):
Red lining in the Copper Diamond leather cardholder (first pic under a mix of weak indirect natural lighting and artificial lighting; second pic under artificial lighting only):
Marine lining in the Teal Diamond leather Flora (first pic under a mix of weak indirect natural lighting and artificial lighting; second pic under artificial lighting only):
The Diamond leathers are very nice and soft, especially for metallics! I love how pliable and almost smooshy the Flora feels in this leather... Hoping these will wear well, though I'm always wary of metallics and wear generally... The Teal is truly a teal colour, and a bit difficult to capture accurately in my pics (I feel like I'm getting too much blue in them?). My pics of Copper under the mix of natural and artificial lighting, and the close-up under artificial lighting, look fairly colour accurate on my screens I think. Someone asked about whether Copper is as dark as in the pics of it that were posted on the MM blog before -- I would say it's a tad lighter? (By just a smidge!) As for Pewter, I see the slight brown tones to the colour, definitely warmer than what was shown on the MM blog before, though I would still characterise it as a grey-based metallic, and not as a bronze or anything.
There was a problem with one of the lobster clasps on the chain strap of the Flora, as the clasp mechanism is completely stuck/immovable, so I've not been able to put on the chain strap properly. Marco has already shipped a replacement chain to me, though, so I can't wait to try out the Flora as a crossbody.
Also, I had been hoping to potentially use the cardholder with a lanyard too and had requested for a D-ring to be sewn into the side of it, but unfortunately it came without it, as you can see. Overall it's not a biggie and I decided not to highlight that to Marco when I emailed him about the Flora chain strap clasp, but hopefully they can keep a handle on these slip-ups occurring... (I wonder if it might've occurred because of increased demand from all the sales/promotions they run or something?) I also find the card slots to be pretty tight (it kind of feels like there's still some excess glue or something along the inside edges of the card slots that are making them still kind of tight?), so I've not really started using it yet, and will have to keep working to loosen the slots more. The Copper leather is quite pretty though (though it doesn't sound like too many other ladies ordered it during the promo), I'm kind of wishing I had got it in a larger SLG like the Penelope Midi or another Flora!

I'm a diehard GHW, so obviously I'm gonna pick that.
My diamond orders are here! There're a bit of a confusion, but Marco sort it right already. I'll take photo once I got home. [emoji16]
Copper is gorgy. It reminds me of what dragons would look like.
Wonder if all these slip up are the result of being really busy, Marco having take orders AND run a business. I think he needs to hire another assistant. Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!!!
