Itching for a tri color bag.....but I cannot find a style. Little Muse would be perfect but there are not enough pieces/surfaces to do handles, sides, and body in 3 different colors. Aphrodite is perfect surface wise but too big for me. What to do......? Maybe I'll ask Marco his opinion.

Little Valerie with different sides or flap and straps?
Little Valerie is a possibility, but might be too busy with the straps and 3 colors. Maybe a Little Athena? Too bad there isn't a little little Miss M--that would be perfect. I need to make mockups of possibilities.....Project time!

Update on the full size Valerie. I put in the few things that I carry with me on a daily basis and chubby in vacchetta weighs in at 4.6 lbs. I will not be wearing this as a shoulder bag. As a hand carry it is perfectly fine. I worked with the latches a bit and they are loosening up, so that is great. This bag is not one you would want to carry around with you on a long day of shopping. She is strictly eye candy, as are several of my other bags. I have very lightweight bags, medium sized and couple of heavy bags.
But she is "purdy" isn't she, lol?
Um.... My little Valerie in Pompei is light even when I stuff her and carrying her crossbody is fine for me. Maybe the size and type of leather also play a part? I'm still dreaming of a full size one in merino.

I am not sure this style would slouch much even in another leather. I could be wrong, but the straps going over and around the bag in my opinion would not allow it to slouch much. MM could certainly tell you.
I know. All those pegs and straps. Still the little one I ordered in Nappa seems to be noticeably soften than the Pompei. Maybe with merino, it'll just slouch? I kinda like that look I'm my head. [emoji13]
 
My amethyst pompei Valerie satchel arrived today and it’s gorgeous! I can’t believe how gorgeous the colour is [emoji171] and the bag is just perfect! It’s definitely not too big, although it’s way more structured than Mulberry Alexa. (I can take a side by side pic later with one of my Alexas.) I’m sure this bag would be gorgeous in any other leather too. [emoji4]

With lilac lining.

And on a side note, I doubled up the strap like I do with my Alexas so it’s more convenient as a shoulder bag for me.

POW! What a bag! The color is TDF. Congrats. I'd love to see a side-by-side with an Alexa.
