I’m test driving this bag to see if it’ll fit for my upcoming trip. [emoji4] Today is her first day. [emoji4]

vink, chiming in a little late, but I just gotta say, your Angelica Messenger modifications are pure genius! Love how it looks! I seriously contemplated switching my 2nd "final" order (a Juliet) to this style, especially since it'd be such a great travel/organiser bag with the middle zip compartment and a main zip closure added... But the fact that I've got too many small/medium-sized MMs that overlap with each other too much in function, stopped me from emailing Marco with the change (and probably driving him nuts! ) I'm hoping I don't regret this... But in the meantime, would love to hear more of your thoughts on your Angelica Messengers as you use them!

Hi ladies, received a notice of attempt delivery on Friday from the Post office, but I couldn't get down to pick up until today. My beautiful new Modena's! Iris Merinos with gunmetal hardware, and Marine blue Merino with silver hardware. Even though other linings where no extra, I decided not to hurt my head trying to make a choice! Here are some so-so pics, sorry I am a terrible photographer. View attachment 4218546View attachment 4218547

Love your Modenas! Man, I'm also really loving that the Modena seems to have been getting some love with the last few MM sales... It's a style that I was drawn to from when it was first released, but never took the plunge until recently myself because I have too many other larger-sized bags for work/daily use... And it also made me pause, not having seen that many posts and reviews here about it, before someone's gorgeous red pebbled Modena was posted (I think it was @pdxhb ?) But I'm so glad to see this style get some love amongst the ladies here lately! Having used mine for the past few days, it's really such a functional and gorgeous bag!

Enjoy your lovelies!

I caved and did another "last" order today. I went with a Soulmate in the Fuchsia Lamb with black Nappa handles and dark gunmetal hardware.

I also added this pic to the reference thread, but here it is too for anyone considering some of the blue leathers remaining: View attachment 4222945

Such gorgeous colors! River blue vacchetta looks practically black, much darker than I imagined based on pictures of bags. And the pebbled avio looks just like my pebbled denim. I wonder how close they are in hue.

So many beautiful leathers and colors, so little $ AND time. [emoji17]

River blue is not that dark. I Wish! I was a little disappointed with it.I was hoping for more of a midnight blue, not quite the case.

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

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!

Thank you, bonniekir! The MM swatch book was definitely a genius marketing tactic, because I received one with my first MM order, and might not have fallen for Butterscotch if I hadn't seen the swatch IRL! I don't think I had ever seen posts about it here on TPF either, but it must've gotten fans somewhere, because Marco had to confirm that he had enough left for my bag... And thank you also for your comments on my Alexia Midi and Penelope! I'm trying very hard to stay MM-content, especially when I already have my "encore" final order still en route...

@starkfan, you will be delighted with your new Alexia Midi’s broken-in look after use. I’m working on my bag’s patina this fall/winter (same bag in dark green vacchetta).

Thank you, tenKrat, I'm definitely hoping I can use my Alexia Midi's often enough to get them to that patina'ed state! Seasons aren't so much of an issue for me here (we have tropical weather all year round), but it's more that these smaller-sized bags are more of a weekend bag for me... But I'm definitely trying to see if I can downsize the crap I carry around daily to make the Alexia Midi work as a daily/work bag for me!

Really? Would you mind describing it for me? I've been going back and forth on whether to change my last bag from black vacchetta to river blue vachetta.

Thanks so much for your great words! I am carrying the Iris this week, and there is plenty of room (which I need!) And I am liking this style a lot. [emoji5]

I returned the bag because the leather was defective, and chose something completely different. From what I remember, these pictures that I sent to Marco were pretty close to the real color. It’s a pretty blue, but I was hoping for something darker based on pictures posted here, and a swatch I had. It’s always possible he received a new batch that was darker.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

You’re welcome! Do you think that shade of River blue would work for your bag?

Yes it would, but I already have a bag I love (1 of my top 3) in this shade of blue- or very close. I think it's best if I stick to black.
Thank you for the pictures!

Does anyone here have a Theia in Pompeii or another sort of stiff leather? Marco doesn't seem to think the Theia will work in Pompeii. TIA!

I have two Theias, but both are Verona. IMHO you should listen to Marco. I am looking at mine now and I cannot see it in a rigid leather. Maybe someone else has one and can enlighten us.
