Yep you got me started on marine which to this day is still my favorite!! I also like the one that MM picked out for me for my mud verona bag. He picked yellow which I would never have selected... I am not a yellow wearer. But that color was perfect and every time I open the bag I notice how cheery it is.
For allround use and if you like blue.. the midnight!
I prefer when it summer a lighter coloured bag so I picked the lime/ lemon , orange and the greyblu
. I remember emailing Colette to remind me never to order a bag without marine lining!
Ditto for me. The Penelope was the bag that made me realize that I can also use a smaller bag instead of my gigantic totes which I love. I carry the Penelopes more than any other bag because I keep it in the kitchen and every time I go to the grocery or to get gas, etc., I throw three things in it ..phone, card case and keys and off I go. I had never used, nor wanted, any small bags prior to the Penelope. I am not a clutch person.
And the first few orders for chocolate Verona haunted me for nearly a year until I finally broke down and ordered one. I am carrying it today and just a few minutes ago thinking how much I love the color variation. I also have two mud Verona bags! Verona is awesome, chewy, sturdy but soft, etc. I for sure will not be parting with my Verona bags!!! I wish I had discovered it earlier and ordered more. But that is being greedy and I have a nice varied selection of leathers.
Darn. I wanted a little Valerie in dark green vacchetta. ☹️
Being able to fit my long wallet is exactly the main reason why I ordered more Penelopes. The one I currently have mainly stores my Kindle. Then one day I stuck my long wallet in there, too, and it was a magic moment.
I have a River blue midi zip Selene with silver hardware, and it is a definite favorite fall winter bag of mine. It's heavy, but beautiful [emoji5]
Thanks, @dignatius, for your input. I switched into my Alexia Midi (Everose glitter Pompei) this afternoon after it had been in storage for a while. I experienced the same thing with the zipper. Not a big negative for me either. I love the look of the Alexia, so I am willing to pay this small price, too.
@mkpurselover , we may be bag twins then I asked Marco to pick out the lining color for me.
I do have a couple of wear-related questions for you:
1) Has your River Blue developed a patina or does it look the same as when you received it?
2) Has it developed much of a slouch or has it just softened up a little without losing structure?

Oh geez. I wish I’d ordered a couple of Penelope’s!

While you’re waiting for mk to respond I thought I’d share pics of my vachetta MM bag.
. This is the slouch on my nearly 2 yr old dark brown vachetta Aphrodite when empty. I’ve used it maybe 5 times since I got it. So even with hardly any use, and stuffed with paper the last two years it has started to slouch!
I'm sorry, I will have to check back with you next week on your questions. I won't be home until Tuesday. I'll post an updated picture then [emoji5]
