That’s my Angelica in black calf!! Too bad that the flat calf/pompeii color offerings were limited. I love my bag!
Thank you for the inspiration! You perfected this bag imo. I think it would be perfect in the cobalt blue or the bluette, but I already have a Zhoe I love in that color. Oh well. Maybe someday... A girl can dream. [emoji4]

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....
Sickgrl13, I know what you mean -- Siena is one of the styles I've eyed, as well as others like Minerva Midi, Aura, and Juliet, but I've just not been able to justify them because of too much similarity with other bags I have (and for Aura, the Zhoe Legend ended up leapfrogging it because of the functionality and added capacity of the extra compartments, even though I love the look of the lock on Aura).

Modena was another one I had been putting off for the same reasons, but took the plunge only with this final closing sale -- my money tree has likewise been burnt to a crisp, and the land on which it grows salted and made barren, because I so need to go on a major ban now, after accumulating a fairly sizeable MM collection in just under a year... :doh:

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.

This was totally me with my Modena that I ordered in the final sale too. I'm also looking forward to receiving my Modena, but it definitely is bittersweet... :heart::sad:
 
I'm so in love with mud Verona. I'm also loving the organization of midi soulmate. I can put water bottle on one side, iPad on the other, snap those open compartments shut to the middle zip and put all my personal things in the middle zip for easy quick access and they aren't in the bottom. Plus keys and sunglasses go in the outside side zip compartments. Very functional this bag. In Verona it's also standing up and not slumping/puddling completely. This bag is a slam dunk.
 
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.

I like that slouch. Will a Vacchetta tote can be changed like this? [emoji848]

Are you getting anything from this last sale?

One of my regrets too, Angelica in Black Calf Leather. Since I am a stay at home mom with kids, I either need a shoulder or crossbody, but I thought one day when I enter the workforce again, I will definitely like to use this bag.

LOL at me planning a bag before planning my career move after not working for 14 years.

Probably. My Valerie in vacchetta is very structured, so it got soft and “flexible”but by its nature will not truly slouch. But a tote more than likely would. Be sure to test a spot for color security. It has never bothered any of my bags but different dyes can react different ways. In fact one should always spot check any product to be sure it does not discolor the bag. That Frye bag had dark spots where I put the Leather CPR on heavily. When it soaked in they disappeared.

My favorite color and my favorite leather. YUM
 
Your Angelica is very pretty. It’s the one that tempt me to get another Angelica, but I now have too many bags I just can’t anymore. [emoji17]
Vink I got a navy pebble Angelica and love the style so much I had to get another one. I got a cameo rose Angelica. In hind site I am pleased I made the decision to get another one. I use both of them all the time. The navy when I want a neutral color and the cameo rose when I want a pop of color.

I think everyone knows that Verona is my favorite. It is a good thing I discovered it late in the game or I might not have tried all the other leathers. But I find it incredibly hard to describe? The best I can do is to say if vacchetta is royalty, verona is the commoner...earthy, sturdy, comfortable, lol..
