I love my ever rose victoria which is my favorite M bag so far. Lightweight but very spacious. I am thinking of another in purple merinos, lavender merinos, or dark amethyst verona. I have a taupe merinos that I do know I love, but am curious how the verona leather compares.
Thanks for your pic!

I really like my everose diamond theia midi, and i was wondering whether a bigger bag in the same colour would be too shiny.

I like your bag!
 
I thought i would share some thoughts on my theia midi.

It is a very good size for me, the colour alone makes me smile! I like the fact that my Samsung Note 8 fits in both the inner zipped pocket and the bespoke outer zipped pocket.

The only drawback for me is that the bag doesn't look good unzipped and on the shoulder. But i guess this is minor! If i were to reorder, I'd ask if the end of the zipper could be fixed to the side of the bag (wonder if it's possible) just so i don't need 2 hands to zip it.
 
I have never been interested in the Daphne until I saw these colorblocking ideas. More temptation!
I love the Daphne style. A favorite of mine. I also love the color blocking ideas. My list is getting longer and longer. The money tree needs to be replenished to be able to get some of the bags on my want list.
 
I want to order a blue bag - not too light, not too dark...the blue iris looks dark in photos?
I've been trying to find a photo of a bag in the China Blue and more photos of the Blue Jeans Aquila Matte...and Celeste Blue Athene....for a Victoria. Suggestions appreciated!
My take on the Blue Iris is that it's a medium blue - and probably not as bright as the China Blue.
This is the photo that Marco sent to me to explain the Blue Iris in comparison to two other Verona colors. Even though the photo is a little dark, I can say that the Dark Blue Verona is like a very deep but also very vibrant indigo. Hope that helps...a little?

Picking up on what @vink suggested with Octane, Bluette Merinos is a beautiful blue that can transition from cooler to warmer seasons, IMO. The photos on the reference thread here are a good approximation of the real Merinos colors - maybe just a tiny bit darker than in real life, at least as far as what my monitor wants to show me.
 
I ended up ordering the VICTORIA in lavender Merinos, gunmetal hw, marine lining, and with no flap this time so it is more similar to the Selene :smile:
Ok now I’m kicking myself! I almost emailed Marco to ask if the flap at the top could be left off. It’s good to know that it can be done. IM guessing he just puts a magnet there like the Selene. Is that correct? What is the cost for that change?@paintednightsky

I had the same thoughts on Aquila, but it helped a lot that somewhere said it reminded them of rubber, and someone else said the surface feels somewhat like velvet.

Yes, it was me who said I think it feels like rubber. Sort of like an eraser, one of those pink ones that are about the size of a thumb with writing on one side, you know? It kind of feels like rubber and velvet at the same time, they are silky but also squeaky/catch-y depending on how you stroke it. That is how Aquila matte feels to me.

I think a Victoria in nappa or merinos with colorblocking with caramel, dark brown, and black (or maybe taupe or grey in there if one is not into the warm tan look of the caramel) would be amazing, as the style would easily lend itself to colroblocking.

Thanks ladies! That was very helpful. I skipped the offer now, I didn’t have enough time to think. [emoji28] But I’m eagerly waiting everyone’s Victorias to arrive and to see how gorgeous they are! [emoji4]

I have Blue Iris, and definitely think of it as a medium blue, not too dark at all.
