My co workers aren't catty about it, but I just feel uncomfortable when people comment about "did you get a new purse "? There is also a difference in pay level between professional and support staff that I don't want to seem like I'm flaunting. I just try not to change too often what I carry to work where it's sitting on an open shelf all day. I wouldn't carry my high end bags there anyway.
Well your other option is the one I use when my husband asks me this question. I reply, "What, this old thing."
My favorite reply as well[emoji3][emoji3][emoji4]
It doesn't work with my 6 yr old boy. He has ratted me out numerous times with anything new, shoes, clothing and accessories to Mr Hubby
. Luckily he can't tell the difference for when I wear new blushers or lipstick...

Ha ha.. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] me, too! One day, I’ve got a witness to back me up on MJ Stella, which is like already more than 10 years old at the time so from then on, people simply stop commenting. They just think I have lots of old bags that I routinely take turn using them. [emoji28] I also put something that I already worn back in the cycle so they comment less.
My octane Merinos Victoria arrived today! It’s everything that I wanted the Selene to be, but wasn’t. I prefer the straps of the Victoria, and I prefer the more obvious difference in the bottom and top width of this bag. I love it! Thanks to @clu0984 for posting your Victoria a while ago, because it was never on my radar before that.
I also received a blue Glitter Pompei Penelope midi, and this color is amazing! I must get a bag in this color!

Here are a couple of shots of blue glitter and pewter glitter. Based solely on the pictures shared here, the pewter glitter is less brown, and more gray than the diamond pewter. I wanted to purchase something in pewter glitter during the last sale, but just couldn't pull the trigger because I wasn't sure how much brown it had. Now, I can order in confidence. Pewter is hard to photograph accurately though.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!!
I love your selections! Taking the flap off is a really good idea. I'm with you on preferring much of the style differences between Victoria and Selene. It's funny - I really couldn't tell in photos nearly as much as in person.
I received the suede bag organizers!
I'll have to use these a bit before I can really give a good opinion on how functional they are. My initial thoughts are:
Very nice feeling suede, nice construction. They each came with a nice dustbag and nicely wrapped.
My main concern is that they are so floppy. And the suede makes it hard to just slip some items in, especially on the smaller one. (Though the floppiness looks better in an unstructured bag because you don't see the 'shape' of the insert)

Thank you, I really like it!
Thanks. When MM had the big Victoria sale I kept going back and forth on ordering. I wanted to try it, but didn't necessarily want the flap. I thought about asking Marco if the flap could be removed, but I never sent the email. When someone posted that they ordered without the flap I went for it. I'm so glad I decided to try this style.
I have the smaller one and once you get things in it, the floppiness does not seem to be a problem. And, as you noted, it conforms to the shape of the bag which is a real plus in my book. I hope you enjoy them.
