Not yet, but I will soon. I’ve had major home renovations, which required that I move out for a month, so I haven’t even opened the package yet! Too busy unpacking and settling back in. I, too, have money tree with no leaves on it!

Nappa was a consideration for my second Victoria. I ended up going with pebbled though. Nappa has a nice sheen. It would definitely work.
Oh, good, I'm glad he'll let me know. I should think of an alternative.
I've thought nappa is too thin/pliable for Penelope Messengers. I've never had nappa before, so I don't know.
Modena in taupe vacchetta or taupe Pompei (is there one??) or dark grey Pompei (I think it exists) with dark gunmetal hw. Sorry, I’m not up to date on the most current leathers.
-OR-
Tan Pompei with light gold hw
Some options to consider since you already have a dark colored one.
Indeed, it has been a shock. To know MM was there, with his gorgeous, handmade custom creations, was a great comfort to me. Just knowing that I could order a one of a kind bag was a privilege.
Nappa will work for Penelope messengers.
I don't find nappa to be that thin and pliable - merinos is. Nappa is nice and chewy and will hold a shape even when it softens. I came really close to getting an Angelica in nappa, but went for the little tulipano instead. I do wish I could have gotten an Angelica. I just couldn't find a color I was 100% sure of for the bag. Oh well.
Hey mavens, I found out the news right when it broke and have been wrestling with myself over whether to order a few final bags. However, I needed to separate grieving MM's closing with my actual need for bags. I have way too many bags. So instead, I wrote Marco an email thanking him for all the joy and wonderful memories he has brought us with his creations and promised to take good care of the MM bags I have now. He replied that he will try to continue his passion, even if it will be hard. I can feel his heartbreak.
I admire your self control. (I had none [emoji17] ) I am sure Marco appreciated your kind words.
That was very kind of you. I really wish him well and hope he finds a way of continuing his beautiful work.
Also - your self-control is admirable! I just added two more bags to my final order.
Adding to the chorus - nappa is a wonderful leather. Smooth but has some character. I have it in a Victoria, Midi Divina, and Sabrina Midi - all feel wonderful and retain enough shape without feeling stiff. The Sabrina Midi really proves how much it is soft without being puddly like Merinos. It holds its color very nicely too.
