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.
Welcome to MM!!! It really is a slippery slope, but oh so enjoyable!
You combined two of my favorite things in your order - Merinos is such a gorgeous leather and the Sabrina Midi is a very easy to wear bag with great style. Can't wait to see your reveal! :)

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.
These leathers are just so gorgeous. I love all them. So pretty I have BE pewter crash in a Supernova clutch and it is one of my favorite leathers. I am in love with all these bags. The everose is amazing.
 
View attachment 4079907 chocolate Verona and marine is such a nice combo today
And this is one of the bags that I have coveted since I first saw it! Thus I am awaiting my Theia midi in Chocolate Verona with marine lining. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!!! (Early 18th century phrase).
 
I did! I was, however, a stupid person and did not tell Marco correct strap length for a full crossbody (as it is, it is too short for me when worn this way). The strop is modular, so I will just order a longer middle piece from him for a crossbody. But! In the meantime I hooked in the wristlet strap to the shoulder strap and the bag and now the length is pretty good! Penelope is amazing - she is so small and flat but actually fits an almost unreasonable amount of stuff. I think with a messenger strap it is a wonderful budget alrternative to the penny messenger :smile:.
As for the card holder, I personally do not own one, but my mom likes hers. She got it in merinos, so maybe it is softer there. I recall someone else besides @lenie having a similar problem to yours :/.
@Pautinka (love the name, by the way ;), it will be super gorgeous! Bluette is such a gorgeous summer blue!
Like you I have been shocked at how much I can get in Penelope!!!
 
I just received a new to me Deep Blue Africa Soulmate Midi. Gorgeous leather - love it!!
Enjoy Vannie. I had a Deep Blue Africa Midi Soulmate but my friend in Minneapolis told me it was her favorite bag of mine so I gifted it to her as a birthday gift. It looked brand new because that leather is indestructible and I have so many MM bags that in rotating all my bags it was not used that much. She loved the Africa leather and I have a Zhoe in blue Africa leather I thought she would get lots of enjoyment out of the bag. I must say it is one all of my all time favorite leathers. I know you will love this bag.
 
Is anyone taking advantage of the 20% promo? I am thinking of getting an outer bag for my amethyst Tulipano. I am deciding between Sugar Cane Pompei or Silver Pompei. I am leaning towards Sugar Cane.
I am entertaining the thought of a big slouch bag for the summer. During summer I carry a bag that will literally hold everything from water bottles to a light sweater, sunscreen, iPad.... beach essentials. Which do you ladies recommend? I would love to see a mod shot of the Calista carried crossbody. Demetra and full size Soul Mate also fit the bill. However, I am concerned with weight. The bag must be able to be worn crossbody.

Suggestions??
