Hi, how has your experience been with the Nabuk? In my mind it's like a velvety suede, and I know Marco's nubuck is high quality, but I am always afraid this type of leather is easier to get dirty. Is that true with Nabuk? Thanks in advance!
His nabuk is exactly like velvety suede. You do have to be sensible and protect it up front, before you use it. Marco recommended a kit and I've sprayed all my bags.I did get a mark on my ochre bag but the cleaner that came with the kit removed that. Dark blue won't show denim transfer (my ultimate fear) and of course, you do need to watch the weather so that you don't get the bag soaking wet. I love it!

Ooh, I've just picked up a couple of suede bags! What's the kit called the Marco recommended? :smile::flowers:

Wearing my mini zhoe in cobalt today. I think the leather is natural calf? It feels the same as my Miss M. I can't wait to get my Zhoe in black vachetta.View attachment 4193713
This is such a great color. I love the mini Zhoe I have one in yellow nappa. Of course I can't remember the name of the leather but it is a bright yellow such a happy color. I also find the mini Zhoe fits what I need when I am carrying things like a small wallet, Cell phone, small makeup pouch, pen pouch and sunglasses.

Beautiful! :heart: I've ordered a Mini Zhoe in gold laminato lamb to use as an evening bag. I have no idea how long it's going to take Marco to process all our orders, but I cannot wait!
 
I am not familiar with that leather. Make sure to post pictures!
It was a special leather Marco sourced for my Divina Midi earlier this year (see Reference Pictures thread). I can't really compare it any of his other leathers because it was my first MM bag. I was so glad he had enough left over for the Mini Zhoe. I'll be sure to post a reveal of my last order. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's.

I carried a small wallet, round coin purse, cell phone, glasses, small hand sanitizer and a lipstick. But nothing felt cramped and there was still room to put stuff in the pockets. Makes me think I can probably make the regular zhoe work for a weekday bag.
 
Thanks. I knew it was calf something.[emoji2]. Do you know of that the same leather Miss Ms are made with? Or did I confuse 2 different leathers?
I believe the Miss M is made with pompei. Last year I asked about getting a bag made with flat calf, and Marina told me that Marco was no longer using flat calf - that he was using pompei instead. I only have a tiny sample in pompei, but it feels just as sturdy as flat calf. I guess I will find out how similar they are when I get my little Tulipano. [emoji7]
