Considering putting another order through seeing as there’s still some available.

Zhoe Legend in Black nappa or black/dark taupe Vachetta??

I have the zhoe mini in nappa and I like the smoothness of th leather but the Vachetta is to die for from the photos I’ve seen. The only black crossbody in that shape in my collection is the lv alma bb in epi so I feel like I can justify another in that type..

Also considering little tulipano in dark grey pompeii after flicking through the pages in this forum.

TenK. You have a taupe vachetta daphne, don’t you?

No; I have Daphnes in cappuccino pebbled, Sauro tan vacchetta, and dark brown vachetta. The latter I ordered for my mother, but it ended back with me (it was too heavy for her). I keep it even though I’m not a brown bag person. That particular vacchetta is heavily textured and the brown is an espresso and not a medium brown, which I don’t like. I like to wear it once in a while with a few certain outfits.

I like the idea of the black and dark taupe vacchetta on a Zhoe Legend best. If I had to choose a color block combination on a particular bag style, those would be my picks. It would be a very sharp-looking bag.

Marco has 2 ladies ordering acid nappa bags. He needs one more before he can order the skin from the tannery.

I raise my hand on this one; I’m one of the two or the third person. I succumbed like some of you who have added last-minute orders to your “last” order.

@vink, I hope you don’t mind having a copycat, but I fell for your bag when I saw it. I ordered the exact same leather/color and light blue lining color with light gold hw. Did you ever say which hw you got? I can’t tell from your pic. My collection will once again be infused with a bright, happy color. That hasn’t happened in a long time. I’ve been acquiring mostly neutrals the last few years.

My modifications to the Angelica messenger are a top zipper closure, no standard middle zipped compartment, and an additional shorter shoulder strap just like the one that comes with the Minerva Midi.

Thanks I’m leaning towards black vachetta.

Thank you. [emoji4] No. I only take out the handles and change the way the strap get attached. [emoji4] Go go go! [emoji16] This is a good reason to add one more. [emoji4] Since I own a softened pebble Angelica myself, this style will do well in both structured and slouchy leather. [emoji4]




Allow me to be evil once in a while. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] It’s an Angelica without handles. Have the strap attached Arianna style. Original 3 compartments. That’s all. [emoji4] The leather is Acid Nappa. I pick the light blue to go with as a lining. [emoji4]




Go for what your heart long for! I love Acid. It’s the color of a newly replenished leaf that’s just reappear for spring. It’ll do wonder for spring and summer. And will help revive your mood in winter. Autumn maybe a bit tough, but I’m sure it’ll pull through with the right combination. [emoji6]




That’s so pretty! I like how slouchy the leather gets. [emoji4]




Thank you! I wish I could, but just can’t. It arrived before I had to leave for the weekend so all I could do was opened the box, took quick photo, and left the house. [emoji28] I’m sure I’ll report back next week. [emoji4] But my first impression is that it may have been more secure in a sense if I choose to go with the top zipper. However, I decided to go with original 3 compartments on this one so it may feels like an open tote in a sense. But I have another one coming (It’s from the glitter Pompeii released though. I had Marco withheld my shipment due to constant traveling so many bags I ordered just started to arrive now. [emoji28]) That one has a top zipper. [emoji4]

Enjoy your trip!
Can't to see your goodies and hear your thoughts.

@carterazo - did you ever get your modified Little Miss M with rolled handles? I was just wondering how that turned out.

Not yet. I ordered it during the summer sale, but Marco had to wait until the end of August when the tannery opened again to order the leather. It should be on it's way to me. I can't wait to see it!

Ok. I have a Pompeii question... please tell me what you like about the leather. I tend to lean toward Marino’s, pebbled. I have had Athene and Tuscania but they seem to fragile ( Athene) or rustic (tuscania) . I also liked Africa’s. I’ve never had Nappa. Pros cons. Likes and dislikes

 

[starsong]

Ok, this is bad.

I had been thinking of getting a Rua Angelica in pompei but I did not like any of the colors in the swatch folder I was sent (except bluette and ameythst, but I wanted a dark color for travel). So I made my order without a Rua Angelica, but in my mind I was always thinking about angelica.

I saw from @djfmn 's post of available leathers that dark green pompei was available. Dark green pompei is one of the fall/winter 2018 colors and sounded promising as I have a lot of blue bags but no green bags. So I asked Marco about it and he sent me this photo.

I think dark green pompei looks like a dark green with blue undertones. I will be ordering my Rua Angelica in this dark green pompei, silver hardware, top zipper. Marco suggested for the lining, light fuchsia or cappuccino, I think fuchsia will be a nice pop of color, I already have fuchsia in 2 bags and I love it, but it may look a little gaudy perhaps with the dark green pompei? what does everyone think?

Today I’m in a fall mood, so I’d say cappuccino. Maybe I should go OUT of comfort zone and do green too!!! Regarding my last post on potentially another “last” order...

Yes, green is very trendy right now! It's the fall/winter 2018 color for a lot of designer houses.
I think it can be a colourful 'neutral' like dark blue!

I see that you asked for opinions on Pompei leather. I read some pages back that people commented it is lightweight and hardy. I tried to scratch my swatch of pompei leather and it does not scratch. It also feels soft like nappa but a little firmer. The swatch piece does not bend easily, it is quite stiff. I love nappa and how smooth it is, and so I think pompei will be nice too as it is similar.

I have a forest green Aura which I use all year. I find it such a great neutral. I don't think fuschia will be gaudy with the dark green. But I always ask Marco when I am trying to make a lining choice. He will give his recommendation. More often than not I go with his recommendation.

I got my last order a few days ago and I'm very happy with my choices, especially with the Selene Zip Midi, and if Marco had any black merinos left I think I would have ordered one in black also...

Selene Zip Midi in taupe merinos


Penelope Midi in dark beige verona with a long strap


It's hard to capture in the pictures, but the dark beige verona is definitely more beige than taupe. It's a great neutral colour!
