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

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!

He has black Verona, black nappa and black pebbled leather. I have a midi Selene in black pebble leather which I really like. I also have a midi Soulmate in a nappa. I initially was concerned doing a bag like a midi Soulmate in a nappa but it turned out pretty well.

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?

I'll take pompei and nappa over merinos any day, especially if you want a structured bag. Pompei is very hardy and durable. It does not show wear easily. The issue for some (not me) is pompei's sheen. It is NOT shiny like patent, but does have a sheen. Personally, I love that sheen. I find it very classy. That dark green is gorgeous. I think it would be beautiful with the light fuchsia lining like Marco recommended.

I’d say cappuccino. I did not think I would love cappuccino as much as I do. I absolutely love it. It will look great with the green Pompei . You can see a little of the cappuccino lining peeking out of my Octane(Teal) Merinos Victoria.

I've thought a lot about those options already :) But I really like the matte and smooth feeling of the merinos, and that it's so light which is very important for me when I carry a bigger bag. I considered nappa but it most pictures it looks quite shiny. Unfortunately I won't have access to my swatches until November to see what black nappa looks like in reality. But I guess I'm hoping that someone will either sell their Selene in black merinos sooner or later or that Massaccesi will return somehow so I'll get another chance, but I know it's quite unlikely.

When I realized that Marco didn’t have enough black Verona for my last order(a tote), I went back and forth between black pebbled, and black nappa. I have a Sabrina Midi in black nappa and love it, but something about the nappa sheen just doesn’t speak to me in a larger bag, so I chose pebbled.

Ladies, do any of you have a Coach Rogue? The reason I ask is because I am seriously considering an Angelica in vacchetta. I just wonder if it would be a very heavy bag. Heavy like a Rogue.

I don’t have a Rogue but my Angelica is probably one of the heavier ones since it has the standard middle zip compartment + added top zip closure, Arianna strap connectors and it’s in Vacchetta. I could weigh it for you if that would be helpful.

I have a midi Selene in black pebbled leather and really like it a lot. It is easy to carry and extremely versatile.
