I knew Marco had apple green and flirt red to match. I sent him the mock up and he let me know that bluette would be the best match for blue. I am so going to miss being able to get bags with this level of customization at this price point.
I will have to try an post a pic at some point of all my color blocked MM bags.
And yes, I did get a slip pocket on the back of the Zhoe Legend.

Just paid for my second and final MM order 
I've been a fan and following for two years ever since I got interested in bags, even though I only managed to squeeze in one (now two) MM bags. The end of an era! Ladies, if you ever find out an alternative to the amazing work Marco has done with his brand, let us know!
I ordered one small thing that I miraculously squeezed into my budget: a Flora with platinum diamond front and back, silver diamond sides and strap, light gold hardware and silver lining. If I had more time I would have loved to order a bold color combo like TotinScience and SickGirl, but while I wanted my last bag to go out with a bang, I -"/9 wanted to be able to use it all the time with any of my outfits, for dates and going out, or lunch at work and runs to the grocery. Thanks all for your input! It was super hard to decide! Can't wait to show you all and see everyone else's bags.
Note, it seems like platinum diamond leather is out - Marco said he only had silver leather to be able to make the leather strap!

It’s absolutely stunning!
Inspired by you I just placed my final order for a black and red color blocked Zhoe legend. I’m so sad about the news. I just discovered MM and had started what I hoped to be the beginning of a collection. I have a Selene in orange aquilla and a navy pebbled flora I ordered from him. Plus a Sabrina in port merinos that I purchased on the bst, it’s absolutely divine. I had so many bags planned in that leather. Lastly is my favorite-a midi Selene zip in tan(?) vachetta that I have used non stop since purchasing it on eBay. I wish I had the funds to order more today. [emoji22]
Please post a pic when you have time.
OMG I love this bag. I have always loved the jade merino. This is stunning.
Yay that was my choice as well. I love love love the amethyst pompei best color ever. You will love this leather and I think the Little Valerie is perfect in that leather.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
I have placed my order I am getting a Little Muse in teal nappa with light fuchsia lining and silver hardware. I wish I had more funds to swing another bag because it definitely would have been a midi Alexia. I know that I will definitely want one of those in the future so perhaps I will have to wait and get one on BST.
I've always admired colorblocked bags from a distance usually thinking, that's pretty, but it's not me. Until this one. It is sooo me! I have fallen hard for a colorblock bag just when I can no longer get it. My money tree is fully stripped after my order. [emoji26] What a beauty you and Marco created. Thank you for the inspiration! Please, please post pics every time you carry it. [emoji7]
Here are two of my vacchetta handbags, Divina Midi and Zhoe Legend. They are about three years old. Both are in rust vacchetta. This leather has so much character. It’s the polar opposite of nappa, which to me is smooth and bland. And, that’s fine for other bag styles, e.g., the classic satchel or flap bags. I have two nappa Massaccesi bags as well in the more conservative styles (Athena and Little Athena).
On the other hand, vacchetta is more captivating to me. It more obviously gets better and better with use. The leather was naturally stiff at first; it softens a little over time yet maintains structure.
My Zhoe Legend has been places, and it shows. That’s why I love it so much.

So, do I understand correctly that you ordered a colorblocked bag? More fun if there will be a surprise reveal...
I wish! I had already placed my order when I saw this beauty. Technically, I could still change it, but Marco has enough headaches already, plus I really can't spend any more and I can't think of giving up a bag in my order. If I weren't rushed, I'm sure I could think things better. I hope I don't regret anything down the line.
Don’t be timid, please change it if you’ve fallen in love with something else! Marco will not mind at all. He wants to give you the bag of your dreams. There is plenty of time to change your order because I am sure there are many orders in front of you.
