Just saw that Africa RT is available. So, I actually already have this leather
I asked Marco way back in January for a taupe colored leather, and he put aside a skin for me. I love his Africa leathers, as many have said it is durable, light and beautiful. The grain is large but not busy.

Presenting the mud Africa RT Minerva midi, Marine lining. This beauty is my favorite MM bag ever! The color is like a brownish grey, similar to Hermes etain. Very elegant and versatile.
Oh wow, this is beautiful!!

Lovely bag and beautiful leather. I just ordered mud/light beige Diana
with black handles. Your pictures helped.
 
And just for fun, do any of you remember that original dark violet merinos? I truly regret not getting a bag in that color. It was not available very long and I missed out on it.
The original is on the left and what they got in later was not the same color. We never did get the original color after that first offering sigh.

I've wanted a bag in the original dark violet forever! I had one ordered but then Marco ran out of the leather and I didn't like the new version. I was so sad.

Sounds like a beautiful combo!

That is one gorgeous bag. You just sold me on this leather and color. Thank you for posting these photos.

You're most welcome! I decided on Minerva midi (loved the style but was worried about the size) after watching your youtube review, so really I should thank you instead!

I know I said acid yellow, avocado green, light beige, capuccino or mud were my top 3 choices oh no I meant top 5 choices but I changed my mind. I am going with a deep red Little Muse. I have an amaranto red midi Selene but I want a small red bag. What is a mind if you cannot change it!!! At least that is what my best friend says. So I have changed it for the last time!!!! It takes me for ever to make a final decision. I second guess myself and last night I was a 100% sure I was going with mud. Of course I know why I changed I love color I always say I am going to get a neutral and then I see all these amazing colors and I cannot resist them. Deep Red Africa is what my final final final leather choice is.:smile:

I have a question for those who have the Juliet style, is there a midi version? If so, which do you prefer & why? On Marco's web site where it lists the various bag styles, it only lists Juliet, no midi. Of course, I could be looking in the wrong place!.

I don’t have one, but there is a Juliet Midi. See post #27877. There are comparison photos of the regular and midi sizes.

There is a midi version. I asked Marco to make a midi version. I love the Juliet but the regular size is too big for me. I prefer smaller bags. I am probably the wrong person to respond but I can give you the measurements. I love the midi Juliet for me it is the perfect size.

Midi Juliet measurements

Width at base: 10.6″ (cm. 27)
Height: 6.9″ (cm. 17,5)
Depth at base: 4.7″ (cm. 12)


For your reference here are regular Juliet details:

Width at base: 13.6″ (cm. 34,5)
Height: 8.85″ (cm. 22,5)
Depth at base: 6.3″ (cm. 16)
