I loved the look of the LV bag that was posted here. I asked Marco to do some mock ups with MM bags along with some leather combinations. Here is what he sent me. I have zero ability to get a feel for what this would look like. I specifically said I was interested in a Mia or possibly an Aura with a Mia handle. This is so I could get an idea of what can be done with his python leathers. I am leaning towards a Mia. Now to decide what color combination.

I can’t do a whole bag, whether real or printed snake. But I really like the 3rd and 4th with the python trim!

I'm thinking of getting a small, messenger-style bag to bring along during lunchtime at work. My first choice is the Phoebe, but would anyone know how does it compare to the Penelope midi? They look to be about the same size, so was wondering if there's anything I need to look out for :smile:

I hope this helps! Penelope Messenger in chocolate nappa, Phoebe in black vacchetta, Penelope Midi in cobblestone tuscania (with a requested additional D ring on the side)and Flora in cognac merinos. Uh, apparently I love my tans and browns haha. Phoebe holds more than Penelope Midi because it has more depth. So I guess depends on how much you want to put in there. They each have their own functionality. The messenger affords you a ton of pockets and space. I love the Flora and Phoebe for their slip and card holder pockets. And sometimes you want a flap like Phoebe and sometimes you want a zipper like Flora :smile:!

Thank you for the comparison. I have always wondered just how big the flora is.

Thank you! This is so helpful :smile:
Seems like Phoebe it is! Now to think of which leather and colour...:cool:
 
I love the bags with the python trim but I also love the Mia with the little bit of python on it. I have picked out the python I like but now I need to find the leather I want to go with it. I am thinking a light taupe. I am open to all suggestions!!!

I like Marco’s suggestion of the dark taupe nappa. That pairing photo looks really nice.

Thanks for posting these comparison shots. This is helpful not only for the size comparisons, but great leather comparisons too!

Oh the fun!! You can't go wrong...one recommendation is depending on how many small bags you have, it may be nice to have the functionality of both the leather long strap and the long chain strap. It comes standard with the chain and a wristlet strap. You can choose the leather long strap instead of the long chain, or for extra, get both. I got both and I love the choices. Chain for a more fancy look and leather for all occasion. The chain though is not adjustable, just fyi.
And warning...as you can see...it's hard to stop at just one MM SLG haha...
