Tan pompei looks like the perfect color for Alexia. To me it looks like the color "natural leather" is. Could you describe the color? Is it a medium or dark brown?

Definitely not dark brown. To me, it looks light brown with a strong yellow undertone but indoors, the yellow recedes and it looks like a taupe or clay color. Attaching a pic taken in natural daylight.
@carterazo, ditto everything @dignatius said. I went to take a pic of my tan pompei Alexia (regular size) outside when I read your post. So, here’s another pic for you. I know we all like lots of bag pics.

My white pebbled Flora pulled double duty today.

Went to church in the morning:

Ooh, thanks for sharing, tenKrat!! There are not enough Flora modshots out there. I am so excited to get mine.

Also @southernbelle43, I would love to see your softened Valerie when you have a chance!! I can't even picture what that might look like since it's so structured in the official pics!

I like both about the same. The dark green vacchetta is in the smaller Alexia Midi. I like carrying the regular size bag by the handle. I usually wear the Alexia Midi with the shoulder strap.
How about the color? Do you prefer one over the other? In your eyes does one color look better for the bag than another?

Will try to capture it in some photos. I wish we could upload a video and I could really show you. Bear in mind that it is not slouchy or droopy, just incredibly soft and flexible.
 
Unfortunately there is no more tan Pompei left. I was after light grey pompei - guess what there is none left. I asked about any grey leather and was told nothing left except for a small piece of pebbled enough for a SLG. Pompei there is blush and dark grey, dark green, Tuscan brown and orange. So back to looking at MM FB photos, MM website and of course tpf. I am not really a brown or black bag person thanks to Odebdo who convinced me many years ago to go with an orange nappa zhoe and not a black Zhoe. Ever since then its been all about color color and more color. After a lot of thought and discussion I am 99% sure I am going with caramel nappa. Although I am not a brown bag person the lovely Tenkrat told me caramel is not brown it is a warm lovely rich color and in looking at her tan pompei Alexia alongside a photo of the caramel nappa I decided that I have nothing in that color range and seeing as there is no light grey pompei available caramel nappa it is. Then the lining choice I told Marco to go ahead and select the lining. I am completely bag money depleted. Who I am kidding I am bag broke for the next 6 months. My last 2 bags the teal Little Muse and a midi Alexia in caramel nappa. Super excited.

I’m curious about which color lining
Marco chooses for your Alexia Midi. If he tells you, then it should be your little secret. You should surprise us. I like surprises. :)

Help me choose ladies!
Alexia midi in black vachetta or beige nappa? I have both colors in my collection (other brands) I have other shades of beige. And of course I have a couple black bags. I don't have anything this unique in my collection. I think it would be fabulous in a classic color. But, which one???? Aaargh! This is hard.
