Hmm, I think I'm also not quite personally sold on the wings on Mia, although I do think that they work well with the squarish shape that Marco has chosen for the Mia.

As for the bottom length of the Mia, I wonder whether the measurement is taken from the exact outer base of the bag, or from the usable interior space? (I noticed from the side angle pics that the side panels start maybe a quarter inch or so inwards from the base panel.) Looking at the Mia's dimensions vs. the Little Muse's (1 inch shorter at the base than the Mia), I'm wondering whether the Mia could still fit a long continental wallet across the bottom of the bag, the same way the Little Muse does -- LM manages it due to the base flaring outwards, so I'm curious as to whether Mia could too, given its flared-out wings. It'll be interesting to see whether Mia is one of the bags that Colette reviews, and what it could therefore fit / how it compares in size to other MM bags.

On a separate note, I wonder if Colette is in fact still doing any MM bag reviews moving forward? Looking at the blog, it seems like the last one was (incidentally) for the Little Muse, back in March. It's a good thing that some of the new styles released since then have also been reviewed here in this thread, or else we wouldn't have any more information than what is on the website and the blog posts that introduce these new styles!
 
:yahoo:Yea I am so excited. Thanks to one of our lovely members I am finally getting a Zhoe Legend. And it is the leather, the color and the strap modification that I would have chosen had I designed it myself. So it surely was meant to be mine.
Thank you so much for saving me some money. Had it been any other style in this leather I would have definitely gone after it. I want teal nappa really badly but because I have 6 Zhoes including 2 Zhoe Legends I decided not to get it. I am definitely thanking you for saving my wallet. It is such a fabulous bag I know you will love it. I am still wanting a teal nappa bag. A little Muse or a midi Alexia.

Ever since getting a Phoebe in Teal Diamond I've been coveting a larger bag in this leather because it truly is a showstopper - plus, I wished for something that would further showcase its beauty with draping. Thanks to an amazing BST/TPF lady, I am now a super happy owner of a Teal Diamond Minerva Midi!! It's a new to me style, and I can easily see now how it is one of Marco's classics. This one is a keeper - the photo does very little justice to the beauty of the bag itself, although it does reflect how teal looks indoors pretty accurately :D.
