Thank you

In terms of my wardrobe both would have been a great choice, since I wear a lot of blacks, greys, reds, whites and navys. In the end I chose crimson red because it was brighter and it matched my Ferragamo varina flats. I chose red lining to match the leather. And I requested extra backing
Can't wait for the bag to arrrive in the spring.
At the beginning I was a wee bit nervous about the ordering business through email. I was positively surprised of how smooth and swift the transaction was. Obviously, reading through this thread helped tremendously, but it wasn't as complicated as I initially anticipated. I send the bespoke inquiry late last night, received a reply today at noon, and then confirmed and paid my order few hours later. I expected the whole process to be min. 2-3 working days affair.
Browsing this thread has made me realize how hard Marco works, so I am rooting for him and his team. It feels wrong that only the high end premium luxury brands or the very cheap mass produced handbags can survive in the competitive handbag market
