Actually Tulipano is great in hot pink. My suggestion is if you want a hot pink bag go with a single color Tulipano you can always add a second outer shell for a different color like I am doing. I love the hot pink nappa it would make an amazing Tulipano or Little Tulipano. Later on you can add another color. I looked at the glitter pompei leathers with the hot pink nappa are amazing. I know most people have gone 2 colors for Tulipano but when you go with a vibrant color it looks amazing in a single color leather. I used my Little Tulipano when we went out on Thursday evening and I had so many ladies comment on the beautiful leather and lovely style of the Little Tulipano.

I think it's helpful just want to see what it looks like. Who knows, maybe some of the other colors will come back. I'm hoping the gray comes back. I would probably just include a notation that they were limited in availability when released last year or something to that effect.

I thought I'd post an update on my cuff bracelet saga. You might remember that back in March, I ordered two of Marco's bracelets during the promotion. It didn't even occur to me to measure my wrist--of course I would need the largest size, as I have always needed the largest size in everything. When the 9-inch cuffs arrived, they were so large I couldn't even wear them as bangles for fear they might slip off. What I didn't consider when I placed that order is that my body has changed dramatically (my husband making the same changes is down 86 pounds; scales are evil so I don't weigh myself, but I know I am down seven jeans sizes), but my mental self-concept hasn't kept up with the changes.
When my too-large cuff bracelets didn't sell for months on the BST (probably for the same reason, too large for anybody's wrist), I took them down. I thought about either trying to sell them on eBay to a wider audience, or just gifting them to a couple of men in my life. Either of those options would've been ok, but finally I decided to consult my trusted local cobbler. He inspected the construction of the bracelets and said it would be possible for him to shorten the leather and re-glue it back into the clasp. They're in his shop right now for the alteration.
I cannot wait to get them back. Wearing those bracelets will be a happy experience, both as an appreciation of Marco's beautiful leathers, and a reminder of how different my body is now.

That's really helpful as it is an evening bag I am considering in the black nappa! [emoji16]
Thanks for your sharing your story!! That's lovely. Congratulations on going down 7 jeans sizes - that's incredible!!!
OK, remember how I said something about a bare money tree? I had one of those days yesterday where I was thinking about the Aquila Matte leather pictures and anticipating another grey Verona moment of kicking myself for not jumping on this leather....I do love some texture, after all!
So I sent an email to Marco telling him my order wishlist and asking whether I had squeaked in under the promotion deadline. We shall see if my timing was OK or not. My order/wishlist includes Angelica in Orange Aquila Matte with Silver Hardware and a Purple or Lilac lining (depending on how the Mauve AM looks with it) and a wider messenger strap; a Penelope Midi in the Mauve Aquila Matte with Silver Hardware and Lining; and a Red Aquila Matte Phoebe with Dark Blue Lining and an all-leather strap (probably Silver HW, but I am still pondering).
Regardless of the answer, I need to take a hard look at the bags that have not gotten enough love from me and should go to better homes. One that may need to find a new home is my unused green Verona Selene Midi and I am also casting a sideways glance at my Arianna in Blue Vachetta - she's gorgeous but doesn't get enough wear. Pretty sure there are at least one or two others living in my closet that need to be given the opportunity for some wear.

For anyone interested, the Aura can be made with the Valerie strap attachment for 25€.
Rose Diamond Victoria that I bought during their diamond leather sale. Have been wearing it for a few weeks and love it!
My goodness, that is luscious!!!
7 jeans sizes is amazing! Congratulations! [emoji259] [emoji258] [emoji257] [emoji256]
Can't wait to see your new cuffs.
CONGRATULATIONS! That is an incredible success story for both of you. Every time you look at the bracelet, it will be a validation of your ability to succeed.
Thanks for the info!! This is now at the top of my wish list! A while back before the Valerie was released, I was asking about a top handle on the Aura. OMG. Hopefully my return trip from ban island is sooner rather than later!!!!
