The big white box from Italy arrived. Bag 1...
I ordered a Little Athena “Messenger” w extra Minerva Strap and changed the strap attachment to the Arianna attachment. Dark Taupe Verona and I’m truly smitten w her. She has dark gunmetal hardware and navy lining. The Verona leather feels like that perfect pair shoes that you find that don’t need to be broken in. It’s truly wonderful to be able to customize a bag and I feel like I will order this again. The only add on I can imagine would be a rear outside pocket.
Oh wow, this messenger style Little Athena is such a beauty!!!

Contrast stitching!! How can something so small come out with such a big beautiful effect!!! Why did I never think of this! :flowers:

Thanks for sharing all your lovely bags :flowers:
I love contrast stitching. When I asked Marco for a color blocked Zhoe he suggested I do contrast stitching.
I was set on a color block having seen the unusual color block Zhoe in acid nappa etc. He told me he thought with this leather that it lends itself to contrast stitching. Of course he was right.
Here is my pink Zhoe with contrast stitching.Pink Zhoe Small.png
 
Do you keep your phone in the front pocket? I’m curious if it would cause it to bulge.
Yes, I put my cell phone in the front envelope pocket of the Little Athena, which makes access convenient. My phone does not make an unseemly, conspicuous bulge at all. Keep in mind, though, I have an older, smaller iPhone SE with a slim profile case. Side note: it is inevitable that I will have to soon buy a new cell phone to replace my 4 year old one. :annoyed:

I also have an iPhone SE that will need replacing shortly. I love the size and shape and that it fits so easily in my smaller bags. The newer models are all so massive! What are you thinking to replace yours with??

I replaced my SE during last year’s Black Friday sales with the 6S. Love it! I’m not really into phones so I hope to keep it for many years.
