Yay! Thank you so much! I can see it now. [emoji4]

The permission thing used to happen to me, too. I don’t even know what it’s about.

I like how your Daphne slouch. I used to like it a lot when it first came out, but always put it behind other bags thinking it’s too basic and common. How do you like yours? How is the compartment system? Is there only one main compartment or two more on the side? And how’s the inside? [emoji4]

You didn't ask me, but I have one. [emoji4]
It is only one compartment with a zippered pocket and two other pockets. It runs or feels small. The opening isn't very wide, which is an issue for some. It fits all the basics. If you don't carry a lot, it'll work great. Otherwise, you'll have to pile things on top of each other. I love mine. [emoji15]

This is beautiful!! I hope you wear this in good health!

I recently received my Angelica in orange Aquila Matte - it's like the leather on a pair of perfectly worn-in boots with all the variations. Definitely understand that the leather is not fore everyone, but I also love mine. :) Will post pics soon.

You need to put the photo on here! I need to see that orange! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] I’m not big with hot shades, but I love Aquila Matte so anything in it’ll be gladly appreciate. Please.... [emoji4]

That’s very pretty! These color variations drive me crazy though. You never know what you’re going to get. I’m hoping the octane bag I ordered is close to the swatch I have, because that is what I have my heart set on.

You’ll be fine. Octane is Merino. I have a penny midi from the second or third batch and it looks the same compare the the swatch from first batch. Merino, pebble, Nappa, Africa, Verona, and Nabuk are more consistent than Aquila Matte and Vacchetta.

Vink this bag is gorgeous. I think this is the best color in this leather I have seen so far. Perfect leather and perfect style. I love this bag.

Thank you! I love it, too! I’m so glad I decided to shake up this order a bit from my usual choices. [emoji4]

love your Selene! that shade is unique!
I have been looking today at my Selene collection, all lined up on the bed....just a row of beautiful leathers...due to the design, they scream out for a little decor!

I'd like fobs/charms/hang tags that are classy and not cheapie looking...so Coach, Kate Spade (oh rip :( )
any other designers of brands of hang tags/charms I should go look for?
Thanks

Thanks! [emoji4] Did a search on eBay? I like the fur ball type. [emoji16] I know it’s not for everyone though. [emoji28]


Devyn Danielle said:
@vink If you have the denim blue pebbled swatch would you mind sharing a picture of it next to your new blue jeans Aquila Selene? Your new bag has almost convinced me to try Aquila, even knowing that it shows scratches.:)
Click to expand...

I have. I’ll do it tomorrow. [emoji4] Aquila Matte is amazing leather. It has so much character. I don’t know, but it’s my favorite leather. My most favorite, I think. And I think it’s so perfect in darker colors and just Live. [emoji4]

I find that after giving a beloved family member my Theia in mud Verona that I really miss the mud Verona. ( I have another Theia). So I am thinking a mud Verona Modena. I checked with Marco and he has none, but if enough show interest in this color he will approach the tannery. So speak up if you like this leather and think you might order something in it at some time.

Oh... you’re lucky! I hope you get enough people to get the new batch come in. [emoji4] (I already have mine so I’ll send me best wishes to you. ;) )


southernbelle43 said:
Oh, I like this a lot. To me all of these leathers have their own unique characteristics which I find fascinating. However, I completely understand those who order a color because you really want THAT color and may be disappointed if the new batch is not the same. It might pay to send MM a photo of the swatch color you want and ask if the latest batch is close to it or really different.

I love it, too! [emoji4] It’s just that I was expecting a darker jeans, but this jeans is Perfect! I love it very much and it suits the GHW even more. Normally, I’m a SHW girl. I don’t know why I picked out the GHW, but it’s definitely perform above my expectation. [emoji4]

I also have a Daphne which I really like. Although it only has one compartment I find that it has ample space for what I carry. I normally have a small wallet, Vera Bradley makeup bag, BE coin purse, sunglasses, Android phone, small Penelope, a checkbook, sometimes my Kindle and a small water bottle. Everything fits without a problem. Love the style.

There was a BE coin purse? I don't remember it at all. Only the Angel- which would be a bit big for coins? Could you share a pic, please?

Vink. Same as Carterazo. To me, it’s a great size and bag when I’m carrying more stuff. It is one of my favs and yes. It is slouchy. I got it on BST.

I have several Selene midis and they seem big, like a black hole in my purse world. Watch out BST board... they are going to be there soon.

I have several Selene midis I have to say even though they are larger than a lot of my other MM bags I really like them and don't find them too big along with the midi Soulmate. These are the only two larger style bags that I have. The Angelica is a little bigger but not too big for me it is a mid size bag. I also love love love the Daphne. Although I have to say I am loving the Little Tulipano such a great size not too small and not too big. Perfection.

Chiming in on the Daphne.

The size was right for me too but the opening was not. It felt constricted.

I wanted the Daphne to be structured. It's a great shape and to me instantly it fit the bill for a structured style. I had extra backing for pebbled, but weight did not work for me so my Daphne had been rehomed some time ago. Maybe now with the Pompei I could have my structure and lighter weight at the same time. I would also likely do away with the side magnets that hold the zipper ends in place. I feel it is them that make the opening a bit constricted. Plus, I also would probably go for rolled handles. The creases on the flat handles with use did not make me happy then. But from some photos before, to me the rolled handles were a bit long, I will have to measure the strap drop on another bag that works perfectly for me and maybe ask for that strap drop as well.

Could those with midi Theia help me on the strap drop when the strap is doubled. What is the standard strap drop when the strap is doubled? Shoulder bags with about 10" strap drop work fine for me.

I just asked Marco about rolled handles on a Daphne!! I have narrowed my choices down for a tricolor bag but I have the same reservations about the Daphne style. I like structure but not sure if extra backing will cut it with nappa. And the zipper opening looks kind of annoying. I didn’t know about magnets holding the zipper ends in place. I kind of wish to get rid of the zipper entirely but I don’t want the bag to be open either.
