I finally got an update on the box shipped May 21st. Scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Was it because I called customer service and raised heck this weekend? Maybe. I really think as Marco's business has increased postal employees are taking notice of all the white boxes from Italy. With the terrible tracking provided by USPS compared to other shipper I think it is easier for packages to get "lost".
 
Coastal jewel, I have been admiring your Juliet for a long time (lurking on this thread for a while, wondering if I should "go for it"!). If I like the bag in verona, I'm wondering about ordering it in a different leather. I'm impressed with how different the bag looks in athene, vacchetta, verona, pompei and merinos leathers. Your port marinos looks gorgeous. what do you think of the bag in this leather? What are its characteristics?
Kimbashop.. so sorry for late response. Been busy working. Some of the MM girls love the more structured leathers, I’m smitten w mooshy and love my light port merinos midi Juliette. I also have a Verona and I love that leather too. I think my favorite is merinos followed by Verona. I have pebbled which is fine.. and vachetta... I’m sorry I just struggle w vachetta. Ladies.. this means something could come up on BST.. a Daphne perhaps.? I find Athene leather doesn’t play well in my world. I have one pompei but she’s not even been out...but I think that’s a style thing. One more Pompei on the way,

I saw the comparison shots between “light port” and port merinos. I happily have both..regular port has a stronger red tone,

And some of my faves I did not pick myself.
So Kimbashop. If you haven’t ordered, do it. I do love Juliette midi. The only change I would make would be to either add a slipmagnet pocket on the other side or substitute the zipper for that...

And tenKRat. So many holidays. Everyday we live is a holiday!

Hi Coastal Jewel. I am curious about how Pompei ages. I know my vacchetta bags will soften and patina, which is what I like about that particular leather. And my only experience with Pompei was that it was too rigid for me. But I did not keep the Alexa long enough to tell what happens to that leather over time. And it could be that that particular style did not work for me, not that I did not like the leather.

Well rats, now that I reread your post I see that you have not used your Pompei bag. Rather than delete this maybe those familiar with this leather who have used their bags can weigh in.
 
Even though the Grande Mia seems to have about the same width as the Zhoe, it cannot carry an iPad well.


Thank you SO much for the comparison shot and detailed review. I have the Zhoe and like the size, so for sure now the regular Mia is too small.

Thanks, Coastaljewel. I did order the midi Juliet with the slip pocket and in bordeaux Verona. I love dark purple-reds and your bag is such a gorgeous color, plus that leather looks so lovely to touch; but Marco recommended the Verona to me based on my likes. I'm excited to see what it looks like. I notice that no one has seemed to order the Bordeaux Verona, so I'm excited to see what the color looks like, too! 7 weeks and counting...

Oh this gives me hope @Kylacove! I have a box shipped on May 23 and haven't heard anything since May 24th...Never taken this long with my past orders...hopefully mine come this week too.
