Oooh sounds promising! River blue was a little lighter than I thought it would be. Maybe this would work. This is the picture I was referencing by the way. It looks like navy Nappa and dark
Blue Nappa are two different colors. I will make sure to ask for dark blue if I order.

Here's an image Marco sent me with the dark blue nappa and navy pebbled comparison.

It is a great bag! The only thing I wish for is the top zipper closure - if it's relatively empty or your items are flat, it's pretty secure the way it hangs under the arm, but if you stuff it (like I do), the magnet is just not strong enough to keep it securely closed. Fortunately, it is more about things falling out, as the middle zippered compartment, zippered pocket, and the outside pockets under flaps keep most valuables away from prying eyes.
I loved Coach's Phoebe and now Edie, so this bag looks somewhat similar.
 
Hi ladies! I hope your summer entailed some relaxation, fun, travel, me time, any activity that gives you joy, and of course, purchase of a bag or two or three... :)

I traveled some this summer. On one trip, I drove over 1,400 miles by myself (DH was not on this trip with me). Read a bunch of books and the biggie—-moved into our forever home.

My BOTD is my tobacco Calista, one of my favorite casual bags for days when I dress down.

Good to see you back, TenKrat! I missed all your posts. It looks like we both drove long distantes without DH. I was glad to get away.
Congrats on your forever home! How are you coming along in the painting and decorating? It's quite the process, no? But so much fun!

Glad to see you again!
For a person on the go like me, the word “forever home” is like heaven. Biggest congratulations on that. [emoji4]

So nice to see you!! Can I ask if the forever home is in Florida ? A simple yes or no is fine, you don’t have to say where.

Love this leather - I have it in a Penny Messenger. Recently bought a Calista in the Dark Brown Aquila and it is gorgeous too.

Love how cute and small Mia is, and I love that the strap isn't awkwardly attached or attached in a way that damages the bag. Too many designers get such a small but important detail wrong!
I agree I love this style. If my bag fund was not as depleted as it is. I think I would definitely consider this style. I know the leather I want teal nappa but I am wavering on the style between midi Alexia a Little Muse or the Mia.

Nice to see you back, tenKrat, and congratulations on your forever home! :yahoo:Travelling and reading sure sounds like a great way to spend the summer too!

Mia does look cute in the mod shot!

That is a cute look indeed! Someone commented earlier on how the strap attaches to the top of the flap, and looking at this pic, it does look like it might be a bit fussy to get in and out of the bag when it's on the shoulder or worn crossbody... (Kind of like the H Kelly and other similar styles) Aesthetically speaking, though, it does look great the way it's currently designed!
