You're right. I just looked and I like these color blocks a lot. I actually like the look with less wings, but that's just me. They're all gorgeous, and how wonderful to design this!!
It's really special to design it, yes! I decided to go for it two weeks ago, and ordered a version of sickgrl13 colorblock. This is a last chance opportunity, sadly.
The Zhoe and Zhoe Legend, by their design, are more structured styles, but I do think it still has some character in Verona (at least for the Zhoe Legend)... I have a Legend all in Verona, and it's a nice, soft, almost squishy variant on the style (my second Legend is in vacchetta, which definitely keeps its shape more). The Legend in Verona does develop a hint of slouch at the sides (I have a pic kind of showing that starting to develop, over here), although based on how it's constructed, I doubt it'll ever get puddly or completely lose its shape.
That said, if you're after the regular Zhoe in Verona, I'm not sure if Verona would work as well for the "wings", as the "wings" likely won't look as good if they get soft. Regular Zhoe might work better in a leather less prone to puddling than Verona, IMHO.
While the color did come out well at all in this photo, I am super happy with the new to me Minerva midi in Bordeaux Tuscania! Stars truly aligned for me to get this bag - the lovely tpfer who got it made customizations that are beyond
perfect for me (top zipper, padded crossbody strap, light gunmetal, rings instead of hooks, longer flap) and she decided against keeping it. Now it is my perfect work to play bag and with top zipper closure I can be at peace that my belongings are safe and not falling out. I personally think this style should have been standard with a top zipper anyway, as it fits perfectly in there and does not interfere with how the bag handles in any way

@Tankgirl I asked Marco if he had any of this leather left and he said he searched in the workroom and there is none left. He bought one skin and made my midi Soulmate and probably some other people might have ordered it when it was shown on the blog. I have never seen anyone post a bag in this leather besides me so not sure if anyone on tpf ordered a bag in this leather. He normally can make 3 or 4 bags out of a skin. I must say it is my all time favorite nappa leather out of all my MM bags.
That is a great looking bag! Suits you perfectly. Congrats on finding that, for more reasons than one, lol. I believe I am profiting from this as well.While the color did come out well at all in this photo, I am super happy with the new to me Minerva midi in Bordeaux Tuscania!

Hi guys is Marco still taking last minute orders? Seeing as some of you guys are still putting orders through..
Also, if anyone can help and sorry if there’s already a comparison, but how much bigger is the zhoe legend from the mini zhoe? The mini is plenty big for me but like the compartments of the legend.
TIA!

Yes he is still taking last minute orders. I will photograph my mini Zhoe and my Zhoe Legend for you.
Final order just delivered! Am I the first one to receive a final order package?
