I think I'm going to have to jump on this. Such beautiful colors. Can someone explain the difference between Africa and pebbled? Does Africa leather do well in the rain? TIA
I can tell you that my Africa metallic bags have all been in the rain. I just wipe them off when I get home and you would never know they have been exposed to a sudden downpour where I happen to not have an umbrella with me. Not a mark. I am presuming these will also hold up but I will ask Marco.

I spoke to Marco and he said that these Africa leathers are as hardy and protected as the metallic Africa leathers are. From my experience and I have been caught in the rain carrying the Africa metallic leather bag a number of times, all I do is wipe it off when I get home and the leather never looks as though it has been wet at all. As I said from my perspective it is one of the most hard wearing leathers that MM has.
 
I got my package a few days ago and am so happy with the Juliet Midi and Victoria Midi.
The metallic leathers are really so nice and light in weight.

Victoria Midi is taller and you can always shorten the hand straps if you prefer to hand hold your bags.
Currently the straps of the Victoria Midi is just right for carrying over the shoulder.

Holy moly, how gorgeous, all of them!
 
If you really like the metallic leathers but fear that it may be too bold for a bag, MM Bracelets are great!
These bracelets wrap around your wrist with a magnetic hook that you can choose in gold or silver hardware.
I suggest silver because the gold is bolder and warmer than the usual light gold hardware on the bags.
The fit is customized to you so you will have to measure your wrist and perhaps your favorite bracelets.
I suggest making these bracelets more looser than your actual wrist size as I initially did make them loose to make space for movement but if I wanted to wear 2 at the same time, I needed them looser and added 1cm to the length. Marco knew that it would take time to get the bracelet length right, so he sent these one at a time so we could get the fit right.

If there is a leather that you really liked previously but Marco did not have enough to make a bag, he may have some left to make bracelets, so ask him as I did for the diamond leathers.

Is it annoying to get into? Does it slouch? Not sure what to ask...haha.

Would you buy it again?
Mine is vachetta, so it holds its shape pretty well. I would buy it again. I find that the magnetic clap can be difficult to close (but it feels secure even if I don't so I usually don't bother). I thought I would hate the tassels but I don't. It's a good size - fits a lot.
