Totally agree, Merinos is amazing. I have several bags in this leather. It was my top fave but has dropped down a bit after the other two. Definitely these are my top 3.

Ah, I never got a swatch of tuscania! It looks amazing based on this thread though!
It is. Ask for the swatches. I’m sure Marco will be willing. If you like Bal leather, you must try this leather.
I have a dilemma I hope you ladies can help me with. On a Grande Aura I ordered I didn't get the longer strap I requested. As I added a top handle I thought the longer strap needed to be messenger length. Marco was a dear and sent a replacement strap, but the ends have clips that won't work on the Aura . Should I just re-order the correct strap or use bag as is ? Sell the extra strap on BSM? I almost hate to tell Marco .
I think you should tell Marco and get the longer strap you ordered and paid for. I wonder why he sent you the wrong strap with clips, maybe he didn’t remember you had a grande Aura? He so busy. But you should get what you ordered so I would contact him again. It’s not your fault that you received the wrong ones. [emoji4]
I have cracked the code on heavy vachetta bags! These little tulipano inner bags in dark green and river vachetta are so not heavy. (800g? 1.7lb if kitchen scale memory serves) And I can fit as much in as a Daphne. I love them with charms and decorative novelty straps.
also check out this amazing match! Got the strap from the coach outlet North of the strip in Vegas, and it goes so perfectly with taupe nabuk midi Minerva. Sigh.
Did you order just the inner bag? I didnt know you could do that. [emoji848]
Yes, you can order the outer and inner bags for the Tulipano separately. It’s a great way to mix and match!
Yes and so affordable. 135 for little tulipano inner I believe, and 150 for the full size tulipano inner bag. That’s barely more than a phoebe and you get the full proper handbag experience. The inner bag is a great little basic purse that works as a small bag, even more than fine crossbody, but tons more room than penny messenger, for example. Since I’m moving more towards wanting very simplistic, classic purses in great leather with the potential to change up the look with different straps and charms, it’s a great option for me if I can’t afford at that moment to buy a little tulipano, for example. Plus a fraction (half?) of the weight of a little tulipano. Okay maybe not half the weight but significantly lighter.
So 400 g without charm and strap, but 600g or 1lb 5oz all dressed up. 1lb 7oz for the blue one because the strap is wide leather.
824g for the little tulipano in nappa, so yeah they are half the weight, even in vachetta.
Here’s how you can see the size similarity. Wider at the top but narrower at the bottom.
I had no idea! That's a good thing or I might have gone over board during the last sale. [emoji28]
Those are really great prices! How big is the full size Tulipano inner? With the little tulipano, I may actually try a bag in vachetta. Now to think of a possible color. [emoji848]
