I dying for a Valerie reveal! Probably won’t get one as I have Mulberry Alexa’s but I completely reserve the right to change my mind. [emoji16]

You make me think... [emoji848] Valerie look like a structured bag and I do order it with structured leather. But if I order it with slouchy leather? Will it slouch and look like Alexa? [emoji848]

That is an excellent question. I wonder. I am not a slouchy bag person but the Alexa has a perfect balance of slouch and structure so that it doesn't end up a trash bag. It sits nicely on the hip during cross body wear. My only gripe is the closure and the straps flapping around when I walk, which is why the Valerie is quite tempting as it doesn't have that construction.
 
Anyone out there with OG dark violet merinos find it scratches pretty easily? The leather texture is quite different from other merinos MM bags: very smooth and powdery. I have not used it heavily and the scratches don’t rub out with a finger. I will ask Marco’s opinion but I would ask here too. IMG_2462.jpg

I actually had a conversation with Marco about a less structured leather for my Valerie, Verona versus Vacchetta. He replied that the satchel style by its very nature calls for a structured leather. Just passing this on for whatever use it might be.

That's interesting considering many school bag satchels are slouchy. Maybe he's just speaking of his own design.
