Anyone else still waiting for orders from the beginning of September? Sent my payment for a midi muse and a phoebe on the 8th, and haven’t heard anything since . I’m now a bit worried my order might have got forgotten in the rush.
I paid 9/5 and just had attempted delivery on my order yesterday - going to go pick it up from USPS in a bit. I didn't get tracking via email so it was a nice surprise. So yours is probably coming soon, but I'm sure you could email to ask.

I'm still waiting for part of my summer sale order. I think you're ok. Hang in there. (Yes, it's hard to wait! At least it is for me. [emoji5] )

I'm sitting on the floor drooling over this leather but comparing my beloved box bag with it:
View attachment 4225444View attachment 4225445

I think it's so close to the one I have that a medium bag in it would cannibalize my usage of the one I already have in that color.

So the other option would be to think about an Aphrodite in it because that would be way roomier and serve a different purpose..... Hmmmm .....

And then about the tan lamb.... I have a small, medium and large bag in that cognac/tan shade so I just can't justify another bag in that color unless it was a little bag, like a Penelope with long Strap. Or a Phoebe. Although I have seven mini bags and don't use them often enough to justify an eighth. Arghhhh. Trying to come up with an order that is also a MINDFUL PURCHASE.

The one hole I see is deep navy or dark brown. River vachetta baby. I have only that little tulipano inner bag in that color and it is SUCH a useful color. An aura just like Colette's on the blog, would rock, but I have too many small flaps including two blue ones.
I think dark brown vachetta is still available as well? But I would go River instead, for sure. It's actually more versatile for me. I think a midi Juliet would be great and more roomy than the the little tulipano inner bag and not too heavy. Although I think gold hardware and river vachetta are a match made in heaven so an Aphrodite in river with gold hardware would be stunning. But too heavy? Not sure. Lenie, how much does it weigh?
Your mind is quite the jumble right now. [emoji3] I know the feeling all too well. Good luck deciding!

Our dear Marco has once again completed his advise on my selection... He says.. My Dear Julie, while color block is interesting, I think I prefer one color on the smaller Juliet. Then of course, he went through the list of five leathers in my possible column, and picked the grey verona (and that is what I'd just decided because HBG posted the bomb Aura in Grey Verona... )

That sounds gorgeous! Congrats on your encore final finale order. [emoji7] [emoji3]

This will be beautiful!!! The purple lining is one of my favorites - even though it's a darker color it does not make the inside of your bag impossible to see into.
I only passed over the Grey Verona because I already have other grey bags, not that it was easy to make myself focus and develop a selection, I promise. Gorgeous leather!

The grey verona is simply just wonderful! I have it in the Cassandra and rhe colour looks alive! Wonderful choise!! [emoji106]
 
Here is my mystery bag! So everything was a surprise - style, leather, color, hardware, lining. I just told Marco what I already had, told him I wanted to try something new, told him I usually favored blues and neutrals but was open to anything, and left the rest up to him.

That said, I present my Modena with silver hardware and lilac lining in Prussian Blue Africa RT! I'm intrigued by the leather, because it definitely reminds me of the texture of my other Africa bags, but it's not metallic (at least it doesn't look metallic to me - maybe a subtle shimmer? Will have to take it outside). Plus I didn't think there was any Africa left. Is this a one off leather perhaps, or is this a color/leather I missed? I've been a little out of the loop for about 2 years. The leather is nice and smooshy and I love how hard wearing my other Africa bags are, so I'm sure this will be great. The color reminds me of the dark turquoise (?) Midi Selene I used to have. The Modena is not a style I have really paid attention to, but it seems like the perfect size for work. I also only have one other with fun lining,so I'm digging the lilac.

I'm torn on whether or not to order a final final bag. My money tree has been pretty bare BUT I've done a really good job of closet cleaning/selling this week so I have the funds now for another. Thinking about a Minerva Midi in Verona. I also love the look of the lamb but can't decide what bag I would want in it...or maybe something small like a Penelope?IMG_20181018_122231.jpgIMG_20181018_122247.jpgIMG_20181018_122428.jpg

This is one gorgeous bag. Love the leather love the style. I think you might have got a one off leather as I have never seen or heard of this leather before seeing your bag. Enjoy it is fabulous.
Lamb is an amazing looking leather and normally is priced at about 40% then the other leathers like merino etc. I am getting a midi Juliet in cobalt blue lamb. I think that the midi Juliet lends itself towards lamb leather. Marco is making midi Juliets for a number of ladies previously he only had a full size Juliet which was too big for me.

I was intrigued by the midi Juliet but would have to look at the measurements and compare to other bags I have. I haven't ordered much over the past couple of years since I started having kids - aside from my diaper bag, the only other bags that seem to get any love are bags that are functional for work and sometimes small crossbodies (like the Penelope messenger).
