It is amazing how we all see things differently. To me acid nappa is not as bright as this wallet.....The wallet is the right hue, but it needs to be dialed down with some white to be closer to acid nappa. Here is a pic Marco sent me: I think it is pretty true to color.

Hopefully this won't devolve into the blue or gold dress saga! [emoji3]
I have a swatch with me. I'd say your photo is just right.
 
I did not delete the images Marco sent me. Here they are, for special order with an upchage of something like 80 Euros.

It was a tough choice between these. I loved lemon but typically not a fan of Athene: too plasticky. Although I have a lipstick Athene Penelope and love it. I reserve the right to change my mind!

LOL I feel like a crazy person and this will be the last comment I make on this hahaha

So I see it like the one with the blue swatch next to it (which I think looks like the HB wallet). And the one with all the yellows I think looks nothing like it! It looks super washed out and almost white and pastel and Easter colors. I feel crazy lol!
 
I’d say acid is very similar in color to this Henri bendel “primrose”

It’s a bright yellow green. Not neon but bright like for summer time. Neon I think I would associate with more juvenile of a color. Imagine a bright pink vs a neon pink? It’s so hard to describe colors that don’t photograph well. I tried to edit the photo so the screen of my phone matched the leather of the bag exactly. Otherwise my phone camera registers all most colors as just shades of white. I took a pic today of something blush pink and it came out white. Lol.
Thank you. It is so hard for everyone to describe the same color!!!

I think you pick the right one. Even though I’m a texture girl, I think acid is the best.
 
Ladies, I need some help. I am a huge fan of SoulMate Midi (I have 3) I am looking for something a bit bigger. I purchased SoulMate in Pebbled and am struggling with how much heavier it is than the Midi. So my question for all of you is would having one in Merinos {or one of the other lighter leathers} make a big difference?
 
Hey, has anyone had a problem with the screws coming out on their penelope messenger? Was getting off a taxi today when my strap detached, and the screw fell off. Fortunately, I was able to pick it up but when i checked the other strap, the pin/screw was halfway out. I jammed them back in but am wondering when it’ll happen again. Have emailed Marco but wanted to check with the other Penny owners if this has happened before?

If you order it without the divider compartment, it will be lighter. Also a thinner leather like the Athene will be very light.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I don't have a Penny, but I hope Marco will be able to address your concern.

Sorry you had this happen . No, I have not experienced this with mine. Neither my granddaughters, who also use theirs very often .. theirs are also filled with ‘stuff’
I am sure Marco can sort it out for you.

No issues here and that bag gets used quite often, and I am not careful about it either. I am also paranoid about checking hardware periodically as I have a PS1 that I despise since the strap falls apart all the time. I am sure MM will come through--unlike Proenza Schouler.
