@carterazo What an outstanding unique one-of-a-kind statement bag! I can only imagine how many back and forth emails it took do do this collaboration with Marco! Your dream and his creative artistry! I am so impressed with your dream bag! Have you had a chance to wear it yet?I also asked Marco to make me a fun bag I had had in mind for a long time. I wanted more panels, he thought it should be less, so we settled on 10. I had poor Marco send me 571 pictures with color combinations which I thought and thought about. I almost went with a set of colors in nappa, but changed my mind due to my love of pebbled. I also know well what the flirt red and fuchsia look like irl. It is so hard to decide on colors from pictures. These always came up darker than what they really are. I was quite nervous to send him my final choice. Marco was so gracious and helpful the whole time. I love how it turned out! The colors are fun and sweet without being in your face. Marco suggested orange lining and silver hardware - a perfect complement to all the colors. I carried her yesterday and she is a delight!

Congrats! I'd love to hear how you think it compares to the Theia Midi.Excitement here. My berry red Verona Little Minerva shipped and should be here Wednesday! I was not expecting it that soon. This is a new style for me. I know I will love the leather..my very favorite!!!
Will be glad to let you know. Of course my chocolate verona Theia midi is one of my first and most loved bags, so that may skew my thinking, lol. I will post comparison pix if you want.

Mini Minerva is a great style and a perfect size for me for when I don't have to pack in everything I own for the day.
I know you will love it! I would love to see a comparison between it and the smaller Modena.Yay!!!! Looking forward to seeing it!!!!Excitement here.

I just received my next set of bags from MM: a Zhoe legend in teal flor with light grey nappa trim and purple lining, and a Soulmate midi in medium grey flor with black nappa straps and red lining. I am so glad that I was able to get bags in these leathers... as many here have said, the pictures don’t do them justice!
Ah, I was too late for the berry red, but I love it. Such a perfect shade of red! Can't wait to see photos!Excitement here. My berry red Verona Little Minerva shipped and should be here Wednesday!

One can never have too many red bags.
Gorgeous bags. I love both of them Flor is such a stunning leather.
You remind me of myself; we can, if allowed, overthink things to death!
If you don't mind, I'll weigh in here. I don't think you should have to talk yourself into the bag. You'll always resent that it wasn't what you dreamed of. I'm only saying this because in every single post you've mentioned how much you wanted this combo and how you were so excited for it. If you settle, you'll always feel like you settled and the bag will lose its sparkle.
Either get a refund or see if Marco can order only 1 skin (I can't find the quote but you did say he's looking into that).
If you miss out on this particular combo, it's fine. There will be others you will get just as excited about, I assure you! You may recall that we've all discussed this on the editing thread: there's always another stunner. If this one isn't meant to be yours, it's only because a different one that is even more perfect is around the corner.
Another option is to get the bag you ordered but swap the green for another metallic, so that you're not missing out on all 3 colours from the original order. And then if the green comes up in the future, you can buy something else in that leather.
Good luck with your decision.
Sound advice.You remind me of myself; we can, if allowed, overthink things to death!

I appreciate your input, and you are probably right - I shouldn't settle. I think I'm just so very enamored by the combination of these three particular leathers together that it's hard for me to really think about NOT getting them, even if it's not the bag I originally wanted. Especially knowing this is the last of the Persian green. While yes, Marco will surely have others that will capture my heart, I can't help feeling like if I don't get what I can, this combo will always be "the one that got away". But you, and everyone else, is right - is that worth getting it in a bag I didn't originally want? Probably not...and yet, I can't seem to give up on it.
Best case scenario is that Marco will be allowed to order just one skin, and then I don't have to make this decision at all. I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for that to work out!
