Have a wonderful time in Italy!
I work at a university and appreciate your story. I am also thinking of the midi Minerva as a laptop/work bag. I have a few work bags but I like to rotate them for different purposes.

Have a wonderful time in Italy!

I have 2 midi Minervas and am at a university. It's a great work bag for me because of the size, pockets, and other features. Regular size is too big for me.
Well thank goodness the bag sold before my self control went completely out of the window.
I have a midi Minerva and I love the middle compartment in that style. I think it’s because the opening is so much wider.
As promised, some Midi Minerva mod shots (quick ones only so please excuse the quality, I was unpacking). I am 1,62m and 45kg (so about 5‘3 and 99 lbs) for your reference. I don’t think I will carry the bag with the longer straps as it’s already quite big on me and would sit awkwardly at my hips.
Looks great with your dress!
The bag looks beautiful on you! Thank you for the mod shots. This really inspires me to get a Midi Minerva. I find it so helpful to see bags on people to see how they are carried. I also think I'm in love with that color. Would you describe it as a light red? a warm red? it's pretty, whatever it is.
Thank you! I was wearing sports clothes when unpacking but thought I could at least pick something nice for you guys. Pure coincidence that the flowers on the dress were the perfect match for the bag.
Thank you and sorry again, the pictures are not the best. Amaranto in my eyes is a deep, mid-toned red with the slightest pink undertones. It reminds me of raspberries. Honestly, I think the name is 100% accurate - perfect representation of red garnet amaranth as I know it.
Definitely not warm or orangey, quite intense but not loud. I held it against most of my clothes and it matched. I do not have much natural/sable, brown or orange in my closet and could imagine it would not work with these warmer tones.
Looking forward to pics of your cuoio vacchetta Aurora.
Thank youTwo lovely ladies with great bags!
Hope continue having a good time on vacation! Maybe I do need a black Zhoe....
A white box arrived yesterday.
Hera in red cherry nappa, light gunmetal hw, and yellow lining. I requested the Minerva shoulder strap.

Here is the Little Athena Messenger in amethyst Pompei leather, dark gunmetal hw, and lilac lining. This color is unique and so pretty in real life. I requested a Minerva shoulder strap and a short strap for hand carry. The bag is really cute with the short strap and carried on the wrist or in the hand. I will try to post a mod shot of that later.
@Coastal jewel, will you be getting your Little Athena Messenger soon?

And, Zhoe legend in river blue and bordeaux vacchetta, light gunmetal hw, and burgundy lining. I am so pleased with how beautifully this bag turned out.
