The drop for fully size is 10.5” Midi has a smaller than that. About 8 or 9” Your choice sounds lovely. I love Aquila matte. You won’t be disappointed. [emoji4]

Yes it's taking longer than normal for responses . When I got hold of him yesterday he said he has tons of emails to go through. That's why I waited a couple of days between my emails. FYI he said FedEx has bought TNT and it's messed up their notification system. He could see my package on his end but FedEx couldn't see it.
He told me he can do other leathers as you said for the outer bag you will then need backing which he indicated would make the bag heavier. That is why I opted to stick with a pompeii leather. Especially as it is already the weight of two bags I decided not to get anything that would require backing. I also spoke to him about lining and he indicated that would make the bag heavier as well. Seeing as I wanted to make sure I kept the bag light I decided to go with all pompeii leather for my bag. I am thrilled with the amethyst. It is such a statement on its own a wow color.
Vink, I've had issues in the past. The first email gets to Marco and he responds. Then I reply and get nothing back. I tried this with a hotmail account and my work account and same problem. For some reason, Marco figured that if he uses Outlook on the web, it works. Strange. Try sending a new message with a new subject. I think he is also really busy and the days of direct contact with him may be numbered. Which makes me sad. But happy his business is taking off. But still sad. He is so great to work with.
So the measurements on the website are wrong then. I thought the drop, as listed, was kind of short for the full size.
Absolutely I think other combos will be beautiful. The pink nappa and amethyst will be an amazing combo.
Thank you ladies for the feedback! I haven't heard back yet, but that's okay I need time to come to terms with the expense giving that I'm unexpectedly facing buying a new car and have a trip on the horizon. But damn it, this semester was a bi*ch and I feel I deserve it lol. There are so many beautiful bags in his repertoire, I see this as the beginning of an addiction.
Be careful I have this addiction and each time he comes out with a new fabulous design I buckle and get one. Even though I say to myself "you have enough bags - how many more do you need". Although I must say I do know what suits me and what I like. He has lots of styles that are not for me which is good for 2 reasons first of all he is making sure that he has enough different styles to please everyone and secondly I would then have even more bags which would not be good for my bank account or my closet. I am good about giving bags away to friends. I given away bags as gifts to my close girlfriends. I just sent a bag to my dearest friend in South Africa she has a serious illness in her immediate family and needed some cheering up. Her daughter lives in London and was going to visit so I shipped the bag to her and asked her to hand deliver it to her mom. Unfortunately you cannot ship anything to South Africa as most of it gets stolen or goes missing. It arrived this morning and she is thrilled to have this new bag.
I sent my dearest friend in South Africa a handbag to cheer her up as she has an immediate family member who is seriously ill. It was also her birthday recently. She wears a lot of purple and it looks good on her. Her daughter is visiting from London and hand delivered it for me. I sent it to her daughter in London from the US and even though the bag was only in transit and was there for 5 days I still had to pay VAT of 45 British Pounds. It arrived today courtesy of her daughter who hand carried it for me. For those of you that are not aware it is impossible to ship anything to South Africa it gets stolen or goes missing.
Attached is a photo of my dearest friend carrying her lovely new Aphrodite in purple pebble leather. Doesn't she look fabulous with her new MM bag?

Look at the smile on her face! You are a special lady. The happiness you gave her has no price!!!!!
She looks so happy! That was very thoughtful of you. Bags- the universal love language
What a lovely gift! And it suits her really well.
I wish I had a friend I could gift a bag to that would appreciate it. I have one who kinda likes purses but she only has one at a time, a purse for two years at a time and that's it and she has a ton more money than me so it feels a bit weird to gift her a bag when she could afford anything she wants.
I give my mom and mother in law a lot but they rarely use any bag besides a shleppy one they don't need to worry about. And my sister in laws just turn them down, I've tried several times. My best local girlfriend also wouldn't take any but a couple of mom friends through the daycare while visiting at my house for a playdate have taken a bag or two home and seemed happy. No idea if they were, honestly.
My bestie is so so much more bohemian than I am! So she wouldn't be into any of them. I have given her two in the last 15 years to show you my restraint. If she was a bag person I would have given her a dozen by now.
Yeah no one in my real life gets my bag obsession so that's kind of a dead end to clear out my shelves when they get too full!

I have gifted about 15 bags to various friends and family. They might not quite have or understand my bag obsession, besides my daughter who inherited it from me constantly giving her beautiful bags including MM's bags that he made for BE. She has been gifted beautiful bags from me from the time she was in college. I have also gifted bags to various friends who have commented at times on all my beautiful bags. I gift bags that I have bought but for some reason (Probably because I have too many!!!) I have never used. I love giving my friends bags that they would probably never buy for themselves. It is so nice to see the joy and happiness they get from having a lovely handmade bag as the photo of my dearest friend shows. My philosophy is if I am not using them then give them to a friend who will get great pleasure and enjoyment from having a lovely MM bag. I think as my mom would always tell me "pay it forward in life the payback to you is tenfold". It sure is I think I get more out of seeing how happy they are with a lovely gift then they get out of having a lovely new bag. I will probably continue to gift most of my unused bags rather than sell them. I have sold one bag to a neighbor in all the years I have been buying MM bags and immediately purchased another more suitable MM bag.
