Glad to hear my reference pics helped,
@TotinScience! All the wonderful pics in this main thread and the reference thread have definitely helped me a lot when it comes to styles and leather colours, so I'm always happy to pay it back to the ladies here too!
Eek, sorry to hear about your broken ankle
@pdxhb, and I'm glad to hear you're getting out and about a bit more! I can completely empathise (I broke a metatarsal in my foot last year, took awhile to recover fully from that too), the healing process can really keep your mind and attention on it a lot... All the best in your recovery!
Thanks also so much for sharing about your Muse and Marco's replies -- that is indeed great customer service! I also really appreciate that Marco takes the time to explain things too, it gives us a better understanding of his business and our bags -- like the 10kg weight used to test their bags! Definitely good information to know, and thanks again for sharing about your experience!
Also, I love your Modena, it's gorgeous! This style has always piqued my interest since I first saw it, so it's always great to see more pics/reviews of it... Now it's really beginning to tempt me!
