Well how sweet of you!This is going to be gorgeous - I can't wait to see! I was *this* close to ordering a lamb midi Sabrina, but I could decide on a color and my money tree obviously begged me to spare its life
This outfit is absolutely perfect!!

This would be perfection!!!@djfmn , @Coastal jewel , @pdxhb thank you for sharing your thoughts on these two bags and yes I’m looking at you plum lamb soulmate midi
One side note - I prefer adding a crossbody strap to my Midi Divinas.

Me too!
After saying I would resist, I finally caved in and ordered a zhoe legend in tan lamb, and minerva midi in dark plum, penelope midi orange lamb and cardholder in fuchsia lamb.
I really wanted midi juliet, but I ordered a full size one and have not received it. I wanted to see how I would go with the size of Juliet.
zhoe legend and minerva midi are both styles I have been eyeing for a while now, and I think they would be lovely in lamb. I was also thinking of soulmate, but I do better with EW bags compared to NS bags.

Another lamblover [emoji106] I hope I wont regret not getting the orange lamb.. may it not suit me! Hahaha. But I have Tuscania Orange, Merino Orange, Aquila Orange and ordered lamb and Pompei Orange.. plus I have pebbled and flat calf Orange.. but I know I might regret...
Anyway.. lovely choises!!
Finally had the chance to snap some pics of the first of my "final" order from MM! This arrived slightly over a week ago, but haven't had the time to snap decent pics till today...
First up, Modena in Butterscotch Pebbled, Dark Blue lining, and Dark Gunmetal hardware, no other modifications. I've liked this style since it first came out, but never quite knew if I should take the plunge on it... And other bags always had 'priority' over this one, like the ones I ordered in the 35% off sale, and it seemed a bit excessive to add that many bags to one order...! The closing sale was "now or never" with this bag, and I'm glad I took the plunge!
I've started using it already, and it's such a great work-sized / daily bag, fits all the junk I carry with me on a daily basis with plenty of space to spare, and has such a comfortable strap drop too. I really quite like the front pockets too, plenty of space for the items I need to grab easily. I've noticed that the front pockets fit things most comfortably when there is extra space in the main interior, though, directly behind the pockets, so that the front pockets can use up that interior space, if that makes sense... I also love how you can catch just the slightest glimpse of the interior lining from the front pockets, even when zipped up, although it's less obvious with the dark coloured lining and hardware I chose!
Butterscotch isn't as reddish as it appears in the first pic... I'd call it a dark burnt orange with reddish undertones, though not as red as in the first pic. The third pic is probably the most colour-accurate on my screens, I think. Gorgeous dark neutral colour!
Next up, Alexia Midi in River Blue Vacchetta, Light Fuchsia lining and Silver hardware! (Lining and hardware were Marco's choices, and I had no idea what lining he chose up until I received the bag.) I added on the back slip pocket again, this time specifying it to be a straight-line one so that it can fit more things depth-wise. I'm definitely glad I got this instead of another Penelope Messenger, can't wait to see how this leather ages as I carry it!
(Sorry this last pic isn't that great, I was finding it tough to get the interior well-lit enough to capture the colour nicely! This is definitely Light Fuchsia lining, though, contrasts beautifully with the dark blue...)
Finally, a little something that circles back to my very first MM order -- Penelope in Chocolate Verona, Marine lining, and Dark Gunmetal hardware! With the closing sale, I knew I wanted one more Penelope (such a useful pouch to grab and go!), and with Chocolate Verona still being available, I couldn't help echoing the leather and lining choices that made me take the plunge with my first MM (Penelope Messenger) almost exactly a year ago! I left the hardware choice up to Marco, and I definitely like how the dark gunmetal adds a slightly different contrast to the pouch...
All pics taken under a mix of indirect natural lighting and fluorescent white lighting, as usual...
It was definitely bittersweet going through this box of goodies, but like some others here, there's still the encore of my final order to come...

Thanks for your encouragement! I decided not to go with orange lamb in the end as I am picky about my oranges and it was a big risk. My final choices are: midi minerva in tan lamb, midi soulmate in dark plum, penelope midi in fuchsia.
I'm hoping Marco does not come out with any more leathers as this is really my final final encore order by any definition...

Lovely new bags. I had not seen the Butterscotch and it is very nice! I have a Modena too and def great with the front pockets ! The Vachetta looks very classy in this model, and the choco Verona I so like because of the variations. Nice bunch of very different bags!
Congratulations!
Lol.. gosh no more new leathers!!!
Love the colours as well as your choises in bags. A lot of the smaller bags , I dont know, now I will recieve the little Tulpano, so..
Personally I dont mind to watch aging in bags.. or else I would only have got pebbled . [emoji1]
And Ma doesnt she look great!!!!Look, ma, I got an outfit
Guys how heavy is divina midi in vachetta? Marco says vachetta better for this bag (I also asked about lamb) but told me not to go with vachetta if weight is going to be an issue with me.
Actually I’ll answer my own mind lol I prefer the look of vachetta on this bag from photos here and knowing myself I know I won’t reach for a heavy bag!!! It’s soo pretty though ..♀️
