You ladies are tempting me to place more orders and I can't. I can think up more bags than I can wear now that it is final call, at least in the near future, for MM bags.

I have one more MM regret: a Siena. The Siena would have gotten major customization with a luggage sleeve, upgraded lining and hardware but I couldn't justify the bag with the functional but unattractive computer bag that I currently use. I toyed with getting one during the 35% off sale but other bags took priority. And now my money tree is burnt to a crisp....
Belle I was able to capture how powerful Leather CPR is with another bag. I have this Frye tote that I had hardly carried because it was too big and rigid. So I decided to condition it with Leather CPR. This stuff in unbelievable. I wish I had taken a before picture, but I can tell you that this bag was standing up perfectly fine on it own before I used the CPR. Now look at it. The bag is a light dusty rose and the color was not affected at all. It says on the label to use it to condition and soften leather but I had no idea that it would do this. I am so happy with the results.
Love that!! I used leather CPR on a bag with backing and didn't see nearly as strong a result, probably because of the backing.
My regrets are also not spending the €20 on a fun lining. I think it would've been nice to open my bright big Selene and see a happy yellow, orange, or pink, etc.
I also wish I had the money tree to try athene, tuscania, and Verona. Those all sound like leathers I would've LOVED.
Last regret is not joining the MM community sooner, but I'm glad that this thread alerted me to its existence when I got into bags and joined the forum
Well, I just paid for my last order: a Modena in black pebbled with dark gunmetal hardware and red lining.
I was going to hold out because I’ve ordered so many bags from Marco this year, but I knew I would regret it if I didn’t get the Modena. It seems like the perfect work bag.
I’m excited to receive it, but it will be bittersweet for sure.

Lots of wishes by many of us. But there will be trades and sales by the group. For example, I had a beautiful mud Verona Theia that my niece loved, so I gifted it to her. I could not stand not having Verona so I ordered a chocolate Verona Theia to replace it. (By this tme I had another mud Verona bag, a Modena). My niece decided the bag was not going to work for her so I am getting it back.Love that!!

I have not decided whether I will keep both Theias, but I may not. My point is that are others who will make decisions about their bags and will let them go on BST. So maybe you can still get the ones you missed.
Love my Modena. I don't work outside the home now, but it is a perfect work bag. You will enjoy it.
The only regret I have is not choosing more fun bright linings. I have some with different linings but not enough. If I had to go back I think I would choose fun and different linings in a lot more of my MM bags. Not that I dislike any of the linings. Also when you have as many brightly colored bags as I do sometimes it was wiser to choose a more subtle lining. In some of the less brightly colored leathers I wish I had got more, different, fun, happy linings. Oh well I love the leather and the linings are an added enjoyment.
I too regret not getting more Verona bags. I have two. I also hate that I won't be able to get a bag in all the dark glitter Pompei colors .I love them so much, and am glad I was able to get something in the blue and pewter glitters.
Deb has one that she will sell.
Regrets.. I’ve had a few [emoji4] I found you all when Marco had just opened. I was looking to buy one “high end” bag.. a LV, Chanel, something.. and searched. And then I found this group of women who had just “found” MM again and had purchased his creations at another company. I remember Lovie, TenKrat, and our Colette was not yet an employee. And I was clueless but attracted to a quality designer bag made for me with my specifications, and I could but two of them for one canvas designer bag... so it started. I regret not trying Verona. I will be up for a Verona Trade! I have lovely bags, and some of my very favorites were pre-loved or just OOPS orders by someone else. Made some good friends, have had my purses go worldwide, and I’ve received a bag from as far away as Singapore! Let’s say a little prayer that Marco regroups and we can continue our journey.
I have tons pf regrets. Too many to name. But I have so many bags already that I have to choose each new bag very carefully.
My regrets are:
-Athena or little Athena. I fell in love with the design instantly, but knew she was too big for me. I also felt that little Athena might be too cutesy and didn't get it.
- Angelica in flat calf or pompei without the middle compartment and a zipper at the top like one of you lovely ladies ordered. I fully intended to get one during the 35% off sale and this goodbye sale. But, I never found the prefect color for her in those leathers. A color I did not already have. How come I switched to little Tulipano.This is going to be my biggest regret. Although knowing that I wasn't sure about the color helps a lot.

That’s my Angelica in black calf!! Too bad that the flat calf/pompeii color offerings were limited. I love my bag!
