My little Valeries arrive. I haven't had time to take photo of them yet, but I promise I'll this week.

I actually ordered 3. One in blush pink Pompeii, one in sugarcane Pompeii, and one in cherry red Nappa.

Seeing them in different leather, I think I can understand why Marco would recommend a more structured leather for this style.

It has so many line created by leather and seams and almost all the seams are outside seams. If the leather is soft, very likely it can be crushed and try to slouch while the outside seems will try to hold on and keep it structures. I already see this image coming with my Nappa little Valerie. So, I think this is why Marco prefer structured leather for this style.

Mulberry Alexa has an inside seams which I think the slouchiness won't disturb it or even the edge of it.

Anyway, since I haven't used mine, I'll have to see how the slouchiness is she will play out.

Anyway, little Valerie is a small bag for me. Small to medium, perhaps. Look like it'll fit the daily essential just fine, but it's definitely not a big bag.

I'll report more when I get to be home again.

I cannot wait to see your lovely new bags. I was so tempted by the blush Pompeii and the only reason I did not get it was because I have a crystal pink Daphne but when I spoke to Marco he said it was a very different color. Perhaps I will get a blush Pompeii bag as my next bag.

I like the look of Bordeaux and pewter but for the life of me, I can't see where it would fit in my warderobe.

I also love the pewter. I have a pewter bag from BE and I use it all the time. I find it to be a very versatile. I use it during the day at night. I find pewter to be a more neutral shiny leather. Not sure if I am explaining myself well. I also find the lead Africa to be a neutral shiny leather another leather that I use all the time. Some of the shiny leathers I feel are not as versatile as pewter or the lead. That is just a personal opinion. Although I have thrown out all the rules when it comes to what bags I use and when. I used to follow all the so called rules now I where what I want when I want. Having said that pewter I find to be very versatile it goes with everything. I love love love this pewter Pompeii.

I’m seriously considering it! I just asked Marco for a pic of dark grey Pompei next to pewter glitter. I’m hoping that picture will give me a good idea of if pewter leans more toward brown or grey.

I have done enough purchasing that I should hold off. The pewter is really nice though! I’m addit it to my wishlist - thinking either a Stella or Zhoe with light gunmetal HW.
Can’t wait to see photos of the leather for further dreaming!!!!!

If I can make a color decision, I already know which style I want - a Muse Midi with central zip compartment + top zip and red lining.

I also love the light grey Pompei, however I have a busy 12 month old and it probably would not be the most forgiving choice at this point.

I love both those choices although I know I would probably pick the Zhoe because of its versatility and size.

Maybe because I have a Little Muse in silver glitter Pompei that I am struggling with the usefulness of pewter? Although pewter and Bordeaux would look lovely as a colorblock combo!
