Here are some comparison shots. This is the Victoria in Acid Nappa and Dark Gunmetal HW that I happily adopted :smile: with the Midi Selene in Lead Africa with Light Gunmetal HW and a messenger strap (it's tucked inside the bag in these images).

In all images, both bags are fully stuffed with tissue.

The only way the Victoria is larger is when the snaps are open and the top is flared out. Otherwise, it really is just about the same dimension with a longer strap drop.

Here is the slouchy Midi Selene, un-cinched in front of Victoria with the snaps attached:View attachment 4128837

Side by side comparison - Victoria is a little bit taller, Midi Selene looks deeper front-to-back, but I think that is more from slouch than anything:

Midi Selene cinched with Victoria:

Base panels of each bag - they are the same size but detailed differently:

View from above with Victoria's snaps undone and the top flared out (this works really well in the nappa, BTW):

Last but not at all least, here is Victoria with the snaps undone behind Selene Midi un-cinched:

This 35% off sale is killing me. I am considering a structured, tri-color-blocked bag, but am wracked with indecision.

OPTION 1: If two of your colors were Bordeaux Glitter Pompei and one of the dark brown leathers (haven't decided which), what would your third color be?

OPTION 2: If two of your colors were Platinum Glitter Pompei (which reads to me as a subtle gold) and one of the dark brown leathers (I may be one of the only people on the planet for whom espresso brown is genuinely my favorite color), what would your third color be?

OPTION 3: If two of your colors were Copper Glitter Pompei and one of the dark brown leathers (are you sensing a trend here?), what would your third color be?

Sickgrl, queen of the colorblock, I'm looking at you! But all input welcome, please help me decide.

Option 1: Hmm, I think a blush or cream colour would look nice with this combination
Option 2: A dark red / bordeaux might work well with this
option 3: If you're thinking of Copper Diamond, similarly, I think a dark red (in particular, one similar to the red lining that Marco uses) might be nice

Aaaaaagh, damn you, Marco!

I second this! :lol:

35% is such a wonderful offer, but why now???!!!! Haha, I hope there will be another one (or even higher) in the last quarter of the year!

Marco's timing is truly impeccable... (Well, for him at least, not my wallet!) Even though I just made a fairly big purchase about a month and a half ago, and also ordered something during the 25% off website sale, I also just (like, literally no more than a few days ago) was reviewing my list of MM leathers/styles that I want to eventually get, and firmed up my top 2 that were next on my "to-do" list -- and despite a number of customisations I was planning, the 35% off convinced me to go for it! :panic: So yeah, I now have 3 bags that will be coming my way soon! (Details for the 2 I'm ordering with this sale are still TBC, though, as I asked for some pics to compare the lining/hardware choices...)

That would be a great classic looking bag in Zhoe Legend!

Anyone will order from this promo? My first and second choice of leathers aren’t stocked. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] They’re just simple Merino! I’m so sad. But the third and forth which I asked just in case are available though and if I really want to take the discount, I’ll have to think what model I’ll need to order this in. Arg!

Oh no! That's a bummer, vink... :( Which leathers are they?

I asked Marco about the availability of Verona leathers too, and the colours still available are black, mud, chocolate and dark ocher... I'm a little bummed that it looks like blue iris is now gone, though, as I was contemplating possibly getting a proper bag in it... :-s

Thanks to everyone who offered their ideas on my colorblocking. My portfolio of swatches was sent before blush Pompei existed, so thank you for putting it on my radar. I'm not even sure if I'm going to pull the trigger on this sale. If I'm so indecisive, maybe I'm not ready to spend the money. Maybe I would find a colorblocked bag beautiful, but wear it with what? On the other hand, I've seen Marco run out of leathers I've loved before I took my shot. Aaaaaagh, Marco!

Putting on my "rational" hat (and please do ignore what I just mentioned about succumbing to buy 2 bags in this sale :lol:), what you've said here is true enough -- if you've thought it through already and you're pretty set on what you want, then a 35% sale is a good deal. But if you're still not sure what you want and you're trying to force yourself to decide now, just because of the sale, the odds are you might end up regretting or second-guessing your choices, IMHO...

You mention that there are leathers you love -- is there any style you'd love these leathers in, if you got them as a solid colour and not colour-blocked?

And finally...
Aaaaaagh, Marco!

I really can't say enough how much I agree with this!! :panic: (In the best of ways, of course ;) )
