In Marco's leather color wheel it's citrus Tuscania, but chartreuse yellow is actually a very close descriptor, good eye!

The strap for the Hera is a bit shorter than the Minerva strap but I find the Hera's handle drop more comfortable because the bag is longer in height. You could customize by requesting the handle drop that suits you the most.
I really would recommend the Hera strap instead of the Minerva strap for this bag because the style of the Hera shows off the leather and the strap has more hardware on it to balance out the simple style.
Here are some pictures of the Hera strap.
This is the only bag from Marco that has this hardware and leather set up.
The leather is looped and really stands out with the hardware.
Something to note is that because the strap has an extra strip of leather sewn in, it is a bit more rigid than the usual MM shoulder straps.
I love the strap on my Hera. It's at least half the reason I bought the design.
Thanks for posting. I have never seen that strap before. Very nice.
That strap is gorgeous for sure!
The Hera is on my radar, too. It seems like this style is a bit overlooked.
I just carried it the other day. I have it in bronze laminato. Great bag.
Wine, PURPLE, navy vachetta! Oh my. I have been purse broke for a while, but at 20% off I might have to have a purple vachetta. I really like my Modenas, but thinking of a different style this time. Hmm, decisions, decisions.
Those 3 vachetta are gorgeous. I really love the dark purple it has a wonderful richness to it as well as a lovely kind of smokey undertone. Beautiful.
I asked Marco what style he likes for this leather here is his response "Many styles, I really have no idea. Personally I'd select Cuoio Toscano for a Victoria Midi, a Juliet Midi, a Soulmate Midi.....or even a smaller bag like regular Zhoe. Even a Juno backpack would be amazing in Cuoio Toscano! You can't go wrong with any MM style in this Cuoio Toscano".

Ok, so don't laugh, but I did not order the vachetta! I really like the laminato metallic eggplant, and decided to get that first as it might not be around as long as purple vachetta. I decided on a midi Angel, as I do like outside pockets a lot. Still received 20% off, so I'm happy for now.
Red bags one of my favorite colors. I always thought that red was limiting but boy I find it such an easy color to wear as a handbag.
Definitely the v midi, even with its snaps closed. I put the same things in the Juliet (not using the long outside pocket that I added, thank goodness, or the bag would have been too small). I do not use the little short zipper pocket that comes with the Juliet, not showing because it is on the other side. It is too small for me. If I were ordering another Juliet I would ask MM to leave off the short zipper pocket and just add the long snap pocket on the side. And some people don't like their phone/keys etc to stick up out of a pocket. I could put the phone in sideways and remove the fox puff off of the keys and put them inside. Lots of options. The V midi is much easier to access things in which is why I ordered another one. I like the Juliet, just like the V midi more. Hope this helps.
