Happy to see the carmin.. I had no idea how it looked, but the name sounded great!! So a carmin Cardholder is ordered.. thanks.. lol!
I hope carmin is the deep red purple I'm looking for. Carmin was all booked when I placed my Sept 6 order. When I read many of the ladies here were changing orders I asked Marco if any had freed up. He said someone released enough for 1 bag on Friday so I jumped on it for my final finale encore order.

Thanks to everyone for their input, i have it narrowed down somewhat. Between the nappa and the vachetta, it sounds like the nappa will hold its shape better? And to anyone with a dark grey bag, what did you choose for hardware? I would think the silver would look best, but im a fan of gold too. Too many decisions!!!
Nappa has more give than vacchetta.

I have a dark grey bag (different brand) with dark gunmetal hw, which is a great combination. Although, MM’s subtle, light gold hw will also look very nice with dark grey leather. (I like to mix silver/grey with gold; it makes for an alluring look.)

Sorry, I probably just made your indecision worse.

Sometimes it pays to be patient and persistent! Carmin is beautiful, and it looks like it has a red undertone on my screen. I hope you love it.

Hi ladies, im hoping some of you can help me. Im ording my first bag from Marco and need some help deciding on the right leather. Ive been following this thread for months wanting to order and with the closing, its now or never! I know i want a full size Valerie as ill be using it daily for a work bag. I know black is a little boring, but i carry many different color handbags so i need my Valerie to go with anything and everything. I like my bags structured, i know pompei is best for this, but no black available. There is dark grey pompei as an option. My black options are verona, vachetta, nappa, and pebbled. Im open to hardware choices as i carry and wear all metals. Any advice would be so appreciated from you ladies who are experienced with the different leathers. Thanks

If you like your bag to be structured, I don’t recommend Verona, Nappa, and pebble. Out of all you listed, black Vacchetta and dark gray Pompeii are the best choice for structured Valerie. Pompeii is lighter than Vacchetta but it won’t change. It’ll stay the same. The color is all uniform through out. I’m not sure about black Vacchetta, but my dark taupe has slight variations of color.

My favorite hardware from Marco is light gunmetal since it look almost silver but has a slight gray cast on it. His gold is light champagne. Silver is silver and dark gunmetal is black. It’ll depends on what you project your bag to be.

I love the light gunmetal too! With My last four bags I have ordered light gunmetal.
