Sharing my small bag pics with you! I couldn't commit to a large bag in diamond, which i do not regret. I love metallics, but more subtle ones, like Africa was - so diamond is perfect for a smaller statement bag for me! Out of all three leathers I've acquired, teal is hands down the prettiest to me - it's like octane merinos but with a sparkle. Phoebe in teal diamond with pewter sides and strap, marine lining, dark gunmetal HW. Teal color is most true in a photo where the bag is by itself. Penelope with a messenger strap in copper diamond with dark GM HW, red lining. I am cheap and never get a colorful lining, but it was included in this promo and now I understand the fun of a colorful inside of a bag 
. And last but not least - a 3/4 shot of my Venus in Blue Iris Verona. Venus straps are probably the prettiest of all in the entire MM family, IMO. It is NOT a light bag, however, but so comfortable as a shoulder carry!

Wow TotinScience these are just gorgeous. I am in love with that teal diamond it is such an amazing color. I think the small bags in diamond are perfect great statement pieces. I also love the Africa leather it was such a subtle amazing leather but I really do love your diamond pieces. The Blue Iris Verona is a great bag such a pretty leather. You got some amazing bags. Enjoy!!!Sharing my small bag pics with you! I couldn't commit to a large bag in diamond, which i do not regret.

Thank you! Teal Diamond really is special. Other diamonds are a joyful sparkle and I love them, but I've seen those colors elsewhere. Teal of this shade with this texture and bling is not something you come by everyday
. Same goes for blue Iris - it truly is a unique color. I suspect if the tannery runs out of a current batch, it would be hard to reproduce the color, much like the OG deep violet merinos.Sharing my small bag pics with you!

Love them! I got a teal diamond midi Minerva and agree the color is spectacular. It is very similar to BE crash leather
Wow, these are beautiful. All three of the leathers are so unique. I cannot decide which of the two, teal or copper, are the prettiest. And the Verona in iris, be still my heart.

Can you please post a photo when you get a chance (unless you already did and I missed it)? Teal is so pretty and with all the pleats Minerva will be so stunning!
It is so funny that you mentioned this. I have been MIA for a few days and was just reading through all of the posts that I have missed. I was going to post pix of the pieces that I received from Marco.
Here they are....pewter diamond Flora and everose diamond card holder.

As soon as I opened the box, I had to pull out this other lady that you all might recognize. She is a BE pewter crash Whisper to Me.

The colors are almost identical. Not sure what is going on with my post but I had to edit it so excuse the choppiness. The pewter diamond leather is the same as the crash leather with the exception of the "drops" as Marco called them. There are larger areas of smooth spots (umm..drops). They probably come from the same tannery, I would guess. The other picture that I posted has a small card holder from Starbucks that is almost exactly the same as the everose but it is maybe a tad darker. The color of the everose is very hard to capture.

I need some help from those of you who have this card holder. I love the color of it and think it will go perfectly in the Flora for a minimal bag day. However, today when I finally got a chance to switch out my cards, I was met with frustration trying to get my cards into the slots. There was SO much glue used in creating this piece that I had to put my fingers into them and try to pry the sides apart. I then attempted to put my cards in and they would only go in about halfway. I then took a blunt-ended letter opener and pushed it deep into the pocket. I felt horrible doing this to a brand new, out of the box piece. Even this didn't work. I then put my debit card into one of the slots and pushed with all my might and nearly snapped my card in half.
The slots are not the only issue. The zipper is difficult to open and close and the zipper pull does not lie flat at all. If I was not familiar with the quality of Marco's work from his BE days, I would never buy one of his bags again. I know that my pieces are small, inexpensive ones, but this experience may hinder my decisions to purchase in the future. I know you ladies love your bags as I see one beautiful bag after another posted here. I love the attention to detail with the customized tags that were attached to each of my pieces and I love Marco's personal correspondence with me. Maybe my card holder is just a fluke. You ladies would know better than I do so I would love some feedback. I have not even packed up and carried the Flora around so I can't comment on that. The only thing that I did was open and close it and check out the chain strap. The zipper did not feel smooth (maybe this comes with use?) and the chain, while gorgeous, felt like it also might loosen up (around the D rings) after some use.
HELP! Thank you all!

I bought the Flora,small Penelope, and a card holder with extra card slots on both sides in pewter to use as a wallet. I had the same probably with putting my cards in when I first got it. I used an expired card to “stretch” the card slots a bit. A couple of slots were pretty tight so I had to do this a few more times before my cards would fit. It is a bit difficult to get my cards out, but I think it will soften and stretch with time.
Am I the only one that wishes Marco would run his sales with a promo code so we could just order our bag and be done with it? Doing it all through emails is so time consuming.
Your bags are amazing. I love the teal diamond and am considering getting a Penelope like yours in this leather. My question is, did you have Marco add a D ring to both sides of the bag? I would want the option to carry the bag crossbody. Thanks!Sharing my small bag pics with you! I couldn't commit to a large bag in diamond, which i do not regret.

I have been lurking here for a while now (sorry) and have finally made the jump into MM bags. I have always been a huge Longchamp fan but am not so keen on recent changes with their branding and image so have been looking elsewhere for similar quality bags. MM seems to do the trick and so I am now happily awaiting delivery of a bluette Merinos Sabrina Midi and silver HW. Can't wait to get it! Thank you to all those who have posted photos of all their bags - it really helped to get an understanding of the leathers.
Sometimes he does. But the website isn't complete so you can't really get everything done through it unless you explicitly say everything in the memo box and wait for a follow up PayPal invoice to cover additional costs.
