The thought of getting a final final order has been playing in my mind too. One option is a Zhoe Legend. I already have one and I love it. But I have to get a shorter and wider and plainer strap for her (where the top of the bag falls more or less at the lower level of my breast) to make me wear her more. But I am at a loss also for leather and color.

Vachetta zhoe legend would be great.
I’m so tempted to get something in the grey verona.... or brown rose nappa..... or river/black vachetta.... such great leathers. The tan lamb is yum.
But right now the secondary market is really poor on ebay, which means you can get amazing deals on bags in the preloved market so I’m having a hard time a) raising money for new purchases by selling excess bags (in the last month I’ve basically given away two like new MMs and did not raise any funds to buy a new one, and my premier bags can’t even get that much, maybe enough for one bag from Marco) and b) you can get some amazing preloved bags from premier designers for the same amount as a new MM, and they have already depreciated 90+% so they can’t really depreciate that much more in case you tire of it and want to sell it in the future to get a new bag.
So, I am super torn with dreams of buying a final bag from Marco knowing I will never get anything back from it if it somehow doesn’t work out, so I better be 10000% sure about my selections, or buying a high end preloved bag on ebay knowing that if somehow it doesn’t work I’ll get my money back. I love supporting Marco but it’s so hard to buy a bag sight unseen online and my bank account struggles with just 100% eating mistakes without being able to recoup the money.
I could just get another verona midi selene and I know I’d love it! (My chocolate verona midi selene zip is the bomb). But I try to avoid duplicates.....

Think it through. It’s not a mandatory to order. Or... you can only just the strap?
Check out the strap modification that Lenie and TenKrat do w Zhoe strap. I do it w many of my orders now. Maybe order a new strap so you love your Zhoe???
My Zhoe Legend is in calf leather, not Marco's usual leather, so I'm not thinking of getting a strap for it as whatever of the leather is left might no longer be the same exact shade due to dirt or something. I will take a look at the remaining leather list again. But should I really? haha!
I got a pleather strap for it. Much as I like the look, I'm not happy with the material. I remember Lenie's strap. I want that without the metal buckles. Thinking though if the money tree can support one more order.
In terms of shorter strap, I just cross it underneath the flap before closing the bag and it is then the perfect shoulder lenght for me. [emoji4]
I know he is swamped with work and orders. He will definitely get back to you.
I also added this pic to the reference thread, but here it is too for anyone considering some of the blue leathers remaining: 
Thanks for posting this. I am even more pleased with my selection of the cobalt blue washed lamb. This photo really shows the color next to the other blue MM leathers. Perfect blue for my midi Juliet.
I asked Marco about the 20% off for the midi Juliet he said that if he gets another 2 or 3 orders he will then give the 20% off. Who has ordered a midi Juliet or is trying to order a midi Juliet PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST

Loving this China blue pebbled leather! Gorgeous set of bags, Modena is another great style too! (Is it a bit much if I'm still resisting temptation to get a second Modena, even though I've already placed my 2nd "final" order?
)I almost got my 2nd Alexia Midi in China pebbled leather too (ended up getting it in River Blue vacchetta instead), and this pic of your Divina Midi almost makes me regret it... That really is a stunning blue!
Thankfully Marco has just enough to make a tassel, though, so I'm glad I'll still get a small piece of this gorgeous blue!Love your Mahogany Vacchetta Zhoe Legend, we're almost twins on this! (Mine has red lining instead of light fuchsia, and a couple extra mods...) It really is a stunning leather, isn't it?
I love a good brown bag but sometimes struggle with finding the right ones... Mahogany is definitely a stunner, though!I also love your Eggplant Muse with the lilac lining! When Marco first suggested the purple-on-purple lining combination for me (Dark Amethyst Verona with lilac lining), I wasn't sure if that would be too much, but it's one of the most stunning leather/lining combinations I have, and it's also absolutely gorgeous in your Muse!
