It finally arrived and there were a couple of surprises for me. i did not realize it had five (5) pockets inside which is great. Plus i like the tucked corners. They do not touch when the bag is sitting. Plus the zipper is made so that I can leave the bag open, as I prefer my totes, and the zipper is well out of the way. All in all this Little Miss M in red Pompei is a great bag. The color is a perfect red, not warm with yellow or cool with blue tones. It is just red.
I am never disappointed with Marco's bags.

This is gorgeous I love the shade of red leather you selected. I have not tried a Little Miss M after your description I am really tempted to try this MM style.

I don’t know why I never tried it before. My taste has changed over the past two years. MM’s smaller bags now appeal to me and I am delighted with the small Victoria and the small Little Miss M. This is a delightful bag, sleek and classy. It carries well and I like the long comfortable handles. Plus the sleekness of Pompei leather suits it well.

What fits in Luna—-this group of items is the max it can hold without getting the unsightly bulge in the bag. (Pen case, small notepad, card case, key cles, coin purse, slim pouch, and compact wallet)

I prefer Luna to Penelope Messenger for a small, more elegant bag. PM is great for a very casual look. I’ll try to take a pic of these items later in the PM to see if they fit just as nicely as they do in Luna.

Congrats on this lovely bag! :loveeyes:
I really like the short strap. Thanks for all the pics about what fits. Would you mind comparing Luna to regular Zhoe?

Anyone order anything from the latest leathers? I ordered a Daphne in the white and anthracite python.

I ordered an Angelica Messenger in the navy blue cuoio vachetta and a Zhoe in the Amber tan cuoio vachetta. The Amber tan looks very similar to the original rust vachetta ( maybe just a tad deeper)which sold out awhile ago

As you know (thank you for your help!), I am selling/sold some bags. My style and needs have definitely changed and even the leathers I prefer have taken a bag journey. In one case (Juliet Midi), I have multiple and decided to sell one I will reach for the least.
It's a process. There are certain bags (including some MM), I think I will always keep, and others that need to go to make room for new ones...but I agree it's hard! I guess one of my litmus tests is, will I even notice if that bag (child haha) is gone. Some bags I forgot I even own...and then realize those ones then I shouldn't own...
Recently, with another brand, I traded with someone and that was a great experience! Something I wasn't using for something I loved, and all that it cost was the price of shipping! I have also gifted, including MM, and that's also gratifying, since most people really appreciate a leather bag. So I guess I have been doing all 3 methods haha: selling, gifting, and trading...

I am in the same boat my needs have changed and I have gone to much smaller bags. When I was working full time and going into an office and to see clients I carried so much stuff I used bigger bags. I had 4 Midi Selenes and 6 midi Soulmates. I now have 2 midi Selenes and 1 midi Soulmate. I had 3 midi Minervas and I now have none of those. Most of the larger bags that I had I gifted to my daughter and friends and sold some on the BST and traded some as well. I much prefer smaller bags and use those more frequently than I do my larger bags. I love the mid size to smaller bags. I use my Little Tulipano's all the time along with all of my Zhoe's, Mini Zhoe, regular Zhoe and Zhoe Legends and both my Aura's. The Angelica is a great size and I love the midi Juliet another perfect size for my needs. So yes my bag needs and likes have definitely changed. When it comes to leathers well that is just a totally different story. When it comes to MM leathers I find I like all of them. His leathers are amazing and I cannot say I have ever been disappointed. I was always nervous of vachetta thought it might be too heavy but I own a Little Tulipano in River blue vachetta and I like it a lot. I have to admit and it is probably no secret to all my MM tpf friends I just like MM handbags. The smell of the leather the quality of his bags and the fact that I can have them made to my specifications. PERFECT!!!! When Marco let me to go into his leather stockroom my husband said he thought I might ask if I could bring a camp bed and spend the night smelling and looking at all the leathers.

I am still so jealous of your getting to meet him and see his shop. And believe it or not his incredible leathers keep me from ordering too many bags. Like this last bunch. They are absolutely gorgeous, but I don’t worry that I am missing out on anything because there will be more. He never lets us down.
