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.

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.
I agree on the color of amaranto one of my first MM bags was a midi Selene in Amaranto leather. Still one of my favorites such a great shade of red. Of course I think there is nothing better than a red bag!!
 
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. :heart:

My all time favorite MM leather is Africa metallics. I love love the lead Africa metallic it is such a great leather. Of course I love all metallics so I asked Marco if there was any chance he could get some more Africa leathers. He went to the tannery and here are the Africa leathers he was able to source. Ignore the label of AQUILA he said he was tired when he created the photos and labeled them incorrectly - they are all AFRICA leathers. The colors are amazing and Marco told me to introduce these leathers he is doing a 20% off on all MM styles through end of day Sunday. I am thinking a Little Muse or Little Athena with Tenkrats mods in perhaps acid yellow, light beige, avocado or mud. But I have until Sunday to decide.

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE NOT AQUILA LEATHERS THEY WERE LABELED INCORRECTLY THEY ARE AFRICA LEATHERS. ALSO THEY ARE NOT METALLIC THEY ARE RT LEATHERS WHICH ARE REGULAR TANNING PROCESS (No lux or metallic etc).

Wow, I thought Africa leathers were gone forever. I have a blue Africa Selene that is one of my favorites. It wears like iron and is so different. It is the one bag that strangers comment on when I carry it.
Now you know why I asked Marco if he could get some more Africa leather. It is my favorite leather. It wears well but is not too heavy amazing leather. The colors are stunning and it is a very different leather as you said.
 
According to Marco he says that the weight and thickness is similar to Verona leather. He told me pebbled is heavier and nappa and merinos are lighter. Verona and Africa are the same in weight. Hope that helps.
I agree. Medium in weight compared to my other leathers. Talking about it made me want to get mine out and carry it. I have neglected it for a while. Here is my beauty (sorry about the background, I always seem to be at my desk when I decide to take a picture) :
