It’s funny that the bags I love the most are ones I got on BST. Probably because I tend to be “frugal” and so I got both a daphne and an Angelina on BST... I will RE home or trade for those that I really really want to try. But I’m still dithering and wondering what is left.

And the ones I now like the best are the ones I bought last because I had run out of the ones that attracted me...the Theia, Modena, And like you I bought a Daphne from BSTnot for the style but because I wanted to get something in Vacchetta. I really like the style now. This shows we should never rule things out or get too set in our ways.
Gosh we sound like we are at a funeral telling stories about someone who died.
 
Awww shucks, thanks.

And speaking of color blocking, it is VERY bittersweet that today I received the tricolor Zhoe Legend from the 35% sale. All in pebbled: bluette, flirt red and apple green. Turquoise edge paint and apple green lining. Sorry the lighting sucks right now—more pics tomorrow.

I don’t know what I am going to do without MM bags. [emoji22]

Ladies,
I realize that you are more than busy with designing your own orders, but...can anyone help the indecisive TotinScience please? @southernbelle43 wasn't much help there ;)
I know for sure I want something in amethyst Pompei (doesn't have to be the whole bag, I just want that incredible leather color in my life). So I am stuck between the following:
1. Aphrodite in hot pink nappa, colorblocked with sides and straps in amethyst pompei, dark gunmetal HW, marine lining
2. All amethyst pompei little Valerie, dark gunmetal, marine lining
3. Little Tulipano with an inner bag in hot pink nappa and the outer in amethyst pompei, no lining, silver HW
4. Dark Green Vacchetta Little Valerie, and just get an Amethyst Polzino cuff.
Halp! :wave:
I think I might be too late by now, but I really like the idea of a colorblocked so I vote for the amethyst and hot pink nappa options :) That's why I chose a colorblocked Flora - I wanted to commemorate my last bag with MM as a bag that I chose the custom colors for myself, because it's such a signature of our orders with him :)

My vote is for the amethyst Little Valerie - that would be amazing. I love love love my amethyst bag.
 
I dithered forever on my final selections. Bag #1 I never questioned - Modena in green vachetta with apple green lining and dark gunmetal HW. Bag #2 was a tough decision, as I really wanted both a Divina Midi and another Victoria. I finally landed on a Victoria in either Sangria pebbled or Terracotta merinos - depending on what stock is left. Since I decided on a Victoria over a Divina Midi, I used the balance of the budget to add a Penelope Midi in Octane merinos.
Talk about a dead money tree!

This is just so stunning!
I love your sense of color!!
 
Some regrets now that MM is no more.
I regret selling my Venezia Penelope messenger
I regret selling/trading my port merinos Aphrodite
I wish I had gotten something in lead Africa.
OH well.
I understand having this kind of regret.

Mine include not adding iced Taupe Africa or Iced Berry Africa to my collection. Also not getting more into Aquila Matte - it's become one of my favorites. Lastly, not adding a Divina Midi and an Aphrodite in vachetta to my collection - they were both just that much more with my preferred customizations that I never did it.
 
I’m in an interesting position. I have 500 euros of paypal funds from ebay sales that are frozen on my account for weeks now because I’m a new seller and ebay has a policy about that. They should be unfrozen any moment, but no way to know if they will be unfrozen before the sale is up.
I’m checking my paypal all the time to see if I get to play in this last order or not! I could not fall asleep last night, going over what leathers would I be sad if I never had a bag in, and what styles really would work to get another one, or what I haven’t tried and would I risk trying and not loving....

I’m sort of thinking I would play it safe and go for selene midi in black vachetta with zipper lining and dark gunmetal hardware and marine lining. I think it would be a really awesome and luxe workhorse for whatever purpose, go with anything, just a bag I would never not find frequent use for. That black vachetta is amazing and I only have one selene midi at the moment.

Or a first zhoe! In black vachetta perhaps, or then I’m really drawn to brownrose nappa.

I think similar to the first idea, an aphrodite in river vachetta with gold hardware would be something really versatile, roomy, workhorse, but luxe and gorgeous. I wear a ton of dark blue jeans so this bag would always coordinate with that, and hold a lot, if I find that my little tulipano inner bag in river blue vachetta is not spacious enough for the moment.
 
My heart is broken! I've not been able to purchase a new MM since last year, but I scraped together enough credit for 2 bags, hope the leather is available! I ordered 2 Moderas, one in Iris Merinos with gunmetal hardware, and Marine blue Merino with silver hardware. I wanted to order so many bags, but had to go for a style that works best for me. [emoji24]

Welcome back! Haven’t seen you in a while. Sometimes I wonder if you’re doing well.

I’m sorry for being late and don’t even know if it’s you who asked. If you carry a lot, don’t get the little Valerie. It’s a very cute bag and I love mine, bu it doesn’t hold much. I have my 2 mobile, a wallet, my slim schedule book and a pen and that’s all. Unless you’re willing to stack stuff up. Otherwise, order it in some leather that has more give than Pompeii. Pompeii is very structured and doesn’t give much.

I feel like crying. I never try color blocking or different edge paint and now I’ll never get a chance.

And your bag is gorgeous!
