That's truly a great combination! It's awesome that you managed to get colours that so closely match the D&G bag too... Did you choose the specific colours/leathers yourself, or did Marco advise on that? You must have one of the best colourblocked bag collections!

Is that also a back slip pocket I spy on the back of your bag?

I love my puddly/smooshy leathers too, so I know what you mean... But it may be worth giving it more time and a chance to soften up! Vacchetta seems to usually have some gorgeous variegation in the colour/texture too (although black Vacchetta seems to be more consistent/saturated colour-wise?), which give it some personality, so if I were you, I'd wait and see if it grows on you over time, especially as you wear it... I've had some bags that definitely started off stiffer, and once they got more give as the leather broke in, I've really enjoyed those too...

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.

I think the Zhoe in black vachetta with a pretty lining would be more special. I wonder if there is any vachetta left... I hope your funds are released today!

I'm vising from another thread, "2018 Good Quality Fair Price but Little Known Recommendation Thread." Lots of helpful/exciting things I'm learning here.

Someone (from that board) encouraged me to take advantage of his closing sale if possible (I literally just discovered this brand). I visited the website, blog, & facebook page. Would anyone happen to know if the website is updated with the color options? For example, the bag I was immediately drawn to is the Angel. I was scrolling through Instagram & facebook and happened to notice that every picture I clicked on was of this bag. So, if it is available, I would be interested in ordering. I did see that someone ordered an Angel midi (but I couldn't find this to compare what the size difference is to the regular Angel). Anyways, on their website, under the Angel bag, if I click on 'Merinos', it appears it is unavailable. However, if I click on 'Nubuck', it appears it is available in different colors. So, would this be accurate of what colors/types of leathers are left? Or is everyone just sending their wish list to the [email protected]

Send your wishEs to orders. If you back two or three pages ( maybe more!)and start readingthere have been a few comments about some leathers that are definitely not available. He will let you know if the leather is available. Merinos, Verona, pebbled and nappa would be great for the Angel if you like slouchy bags.

Dear ladies,
Thank you all very much for finding the time to give me your suggestions on my order!! Like you you said, all of those choices would have been amazing, but I ultimately decided to go with a Little Valerie in Amethyst Pompei, dark gunmetal, marine lining. I sold my schoolbag from Bendel specifically to free up space in my bag collection for a petite "briefcase", and Little Valerie is exactly that. @vink is 100% correct that it's a smaller bag and doesn't fit much, but I don't intend it to anyway - it would be strictly a date and small errand kind of bag. While I still wish for an Aphrodite, having a Venus in Iris Verona made that option a little redundant. Tulipano is awesome, but I just don't see myself using it that often for some reason.
The last and most important reason is that I revisited @Taimi 's incredible photo of a full size Valerie in Amethyst Pompei and that sealed the deal. Order approved and processed, and now the wait (the last one :sad:(), begins

I have not had my vacchetta bags long enough....but it is my understanding that over the years this leather grows in beauty as it ages. My first one, a preowned Daphne, Is mch softer than my new Valerie and is really lovely.
