Another BST find. Regular sized Selene in scarlet metallic brightening up my dreary cubicle.
Oh! Here's a close relative, a recent also BST acquisition, Selene Midi in celeste athene! Using her makes me want another Selene Midi...but I already have 3 MM items on order haha...View attachment 4483863

I asked Marco and he said unfortunately Cobalt Blue metallic is out of stock.
So sorry for being a big tease.
Marco says he has many other metallic leather in different colors in stock and the tannery offers many seasonal colors, which change all the time, so please contact him if you are interested to check for availability and would like to "book" some color for your Autumn-Winter 2019 bag.

Marco also said that the metallic colors that he offered recently when he reopened are colors that are always available (like Light Gold, Peach, Magenta, Dark Amethyst, Scarlet Red, Wisteria, Titanium, Light Silver, Light Celeste).

That's OK. ☺️ I'm waiting for the scarlet red to arrive once I'm home. It's going to be my perfect Christmas bag.

Your cobalt blue is seriously tempting though. ☺️
 
All the Selene zip posted makes me wonder why I only have one "zip", but so many of the regular. But Selene series is such a pretty and practical bag. The zip is just the right amount of hardware, IMHO.
 
Here are the metallic leathers that are new and available for this season.
If you think they are too flashy for a bag, you can get a small Penelope Midi, as a makeup bag, or the Little Penelope, for coins and little things, or a bracelet. I'm definitely getting a bracelet.
I think the metallic leathers would look good on the Stella clutch too.

Eggplant Metallic, which is the same as the Purple Metallic that was available last year.

OMG I am in love with these leathers. I love love love metallics and these 3 are just stunning. I am so bag broke but I might have to cave with these leathers and order something.

Oh boy. I am so bag broke after placing yet another order with the Africas :nuts: But these metallics are to die for.....
 
Several of you have said that strangers stop you on the street and want to know about your designer bags. No one ever does me that way. Just now at the grocery store this lady stopped me and said, " I really like that bag. Where did you get it?"

Beaming at her, I started to tell her when she picked up my reusable grocery bag. I meekly said, "Here inside the store." Sigh
I did get some satisfaction when a lady stopped me in the aisle and wanted to know where I got my shoes. She wrote down the brand, lol.

OK, that's just funny. You have to admit that. :biggrin:
 
@orchidmyst - thank you for posting the seasonal metallics. This time I am really tempted, the green and eggplant are just lovely.

Has anyone had issues pairing larger metallic bags with simple outfits? I hesitated when Marco offered the last batch of metallics as I was unsure of whether or not a Little Athena or equally sized bags would be too loud. I am not conservative but also want my bag to complement my look, not dominate it. Hence, would appreciate some thoughts and experience on how you ladies pair your metallics? (I am not wearing smaller pouches and the like, so that would not be an option although much more low key)
 
I just returned from a business trip and thus was only able to photograph my 2nd batch of bags today. Again, I am very happy with what I ordered but the bag that surprised me most was the little Athena. It is adorable in this size and leather and will become a practical weekend bag for me. And yes, I realize I have an issue/addiction. Need to stop ordering burgundy/red/purple coloured bags. Oh well...

So, in no particular order, here they are. I usually choose silver hardware and some random lining, so you will probably find my choices boring in that regard. I may try something fancy next time just to be able to offer some eye candy!

ANGELICA - Crystal pink Merinos with silver hardware, dark grey lining (think some of you own this exact same bag as I recall I got inspired by someone on the thread)

DAPHNE - Light sea green Merinos with silver hardware, light fuchsia lining

LITTLE ATHENA - Port Merinos with silver hardware, burgundy lining

Next one to receive will be my Graven Goat Angelica which I hope will arrive soon.
