Exactly! I also love to use them for travel. So handy! plus I end up having additional "purses" for different looks during my trip. [emoji41]

Oooh! a bag that I love the thought of in vachetta! Of course, I didn't think of it until you mentioned it. And now it's too late. Bummer!
Looks so yummy! [emoji7]@dignatius
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 posted a picture of my dark taupe Vachetta Star a few pages back. Can't remember if the new batch is different but it is a gorgeous leather. I also have a swatch of River Blue and always thought about getting a bag in it but didn't get a chance. But the swatch is beautiful.
What's sadder is I don't think people will be letting go of their MMs now. I know I won't.
Ladies! Those of you who own both Marco's and Bottega Veneta's bags - how does Marco's Nappa hold up against the Nappa BV uses for their itrecciato bags in terms of durability and quality? I adore Marco's leathers and am always curious if the tanneries he sourced his materials from were going head to toe with the big guns.
I think we all will be sad for awhile, but like @southernbelle43 said, life goes on, and eventually people will part with the bags that aren't getting much use for whatever reason
I ended up ordering the terracotta Merinos after seeing @HopelessBagGirl bags in this colour a few hundred pages back. Been emailing Marco back and forth even though it’s passed midnight where he is
Plus ordered phoebe (I’ve already got the taupe pebbled) in nappa in red cherry - a colour I’ve always wanted to try but scared of something loud. It’s now or never!
And also orders the Penelope midi in Santorini blue to put inside the tote.
;( ;( ;(
I have a terra cotta midi divina from HBG! I haven’t put it in rotation yet. I think we ( me) will be open to trades and sales.. I’ve met the best group of ladies here and on BST.. I’ve gotten bags from Singapore and Finland... I’ve sent bags to Oregon, Scotland... Maine.. to name a few. What stories our sales and trades could tell.
Terracotta is one that I planned to buy and just kept puttng it off. I think it is a beautiful color so I truly hope someone will part with one on BST in the future.I ended up ordering the terracotta Merinos after seeing @HopelessBagGirl bags in this colour a few hundred pages back.

My first guess is the simplest reason that any business may close - $$
I’m really hoping we do get notification in a few months that he’s reopening.
