I don't know if it is healthy but I can say it is NORMAL to be plotting/planning for your next bags.

Marco's leather availability page (https://www.marcomassaccesi.it/available-leathers) does not say he has rust vacchetta available but that only means that he does not have it in stock. He may be able to order it from the tannery if it is in production. Please email him about the rust vachetta. He has river blue and cuoio vachetta in stock now.

I don't have a direct comparison of rust and cuoio vacchetta but have some pictures that may help. Maybe someone has bags with these 2 leathers that could provide a picture.

Here is what Marco said when I asked him about these colors when I was deciding on a vachetta for my little diana.
"As far as cuoio Vacchetta it is a typical tan color while rust had more red undertones."

I love metallics too. Marco's metallics just feel so soft and luscious. This is the brightest one I've tried so far so it is a little out of my comfort zone right now. Once I find the perfect outfit to go with it I'm sure it will be love.

How accurate is the color on your photos? The amethyst and the magenta in the swatches photos that Marco sent look much darker than the photos of your bag.

On my phone the color looks different from real life. The color is bolder and redder than the swatch pics to me. Here are hot pink pebbled and black cherry nappa to give some reference.View attachment 4535895

I agree with @jbags07 it is fairly neutral and will go with lots of different colors. I often look at the color wheel to see what the complementary color is and use that as a guide. But as I have mentioned before I have thrown caution to the wind and wear what ever I want as long as it does not clash. I have lots of fun with color and enjoy all the options. This is truly a statement bag and I think you will be surprised at all the choices you will have in clothing when you use this bag. Enjoy it as I said I think it is one stunning bag.

View attachment 4534322 I’ve received 3 of my midi Juliets. Absolutely love them. Only thing is, i thought the 2 top handles would be bigger, for easy hand carry and in crook of the arm, kind of like my Speedy25. Many of you are so creative in your modifications. I am wondering if any of you have ideas of some kind of handle i can have Marco make for each, that would allow for hand carry yet still be aesthetically pleasing to the overall look? The strap i ordered with each bag is a crossbody strap. Above is a pic of the bags.....

I have a couple more Midi Juliets on order and emailed Marco about extending those top handles. Do you all think the bag will still look good that way?

Thanks so much for any feedback, its greatly appreciated :smile: And i’ve received 3 boxes these last few weeks...should i take some pix? I hate to overwhelm with too many bag reveals lol.

SOOO, our conversation made me go back through this thread and look at the handles on the Juliet Midis that people have ordered, because I thought I had remembered the handle drop being bigger, and I realized that my handles are a lower profile (like the ones that @TotinScience custom ordered). I did not order them this way, and now that I realize the mistake I'm a little disappointed. However, I do love the bag and will keep it as is. I'll just be mindful that if I order another one I will make sure that I confirm that they have the regular midi handle drop.

@jbags07, it looks like your Juliet midi handles are lower profile handles as well (like mine) -- although it's hard to tell from the angle of your photos. If so, that would explain why you have the same issues that I do with trying to carry them on your wrist.

My midi Juliet handles will fit over my wrists but there is no way they will fit the crook of my arm. I think if you want longer handles you have to special order them that way. The shorter length is more proportional to the smaller size of the bag IMO.

My handles are definitely shorter than the ones on your Juliet black cherry midi nappa. I like the size that is on yours.

Yes, i will be more mindful too. Now that i feel like i have the hang of all this~ so different than buying off the rack, i know what questions to ask and what to think about, like the handle drop. This issue was a good teacher :biggrin:

Your bag is beautiful! And with just the one, easy to make do and change on the next. If it was just one for me i would too, but i have these 3 that came together, and a 4th in transit, so its worth it to change. I need to fiddle, to find a height that is just enuf for carry but not too high to ruin the look of the bag...

I will have to go back and look at pix! Since my handles wont even fit over my hand, there must be some differences in drop....
