I have an update with my Sabrina. Marco is able to order 3 skins of the Persian Green. I was still concerned about the cost and expense to him because obviously 3 skins is more than 1, although much better that 10. He said it won't be a problem at all though and that he actually has another person who wanted something in Persian Green so he feels it will be an OK investment. He also assured me that it will be the exact same color code as the original Persian Green, and while I know there can always be color variations when it comes to leather, I feel reassured that it won't be so drastically different (like, veering into grass green territory) as I feared. So, I will be able to get my dream, color-blocked, full-size Sabrina after all! 
The tannery is about to close for 3 weeks, starting Wednesday, so Marco doesn't think he'll be able to receive the skins until September. It means a few more weeks of waiting, but that's ok. I'd MUCH rather wait for the bag I want, and it's not like I needed the bag for a specific occasion. I'm just so happy it all turned out favorably, for both myself and Marco, in the end!

Definitely worth waiting for the dream bag. Really glad it all worked out in the end!
YEA!!!!!. I am so glad it worked out for you. But I knew it would because you have a kind heart and are considerate of him!I have an update with my Sabrina.

I always forget that many European countries take vacations in August. We took a river boat cruise down the Rhine, Main and Danube in August and the sides of the river for miles had campers. Many of the shops in the cities along the river were also closed, but it was still the best European trip ever. My favorite.
Well, after bragging so much on DHL (48 hours from Australia twice and from Italy multiple times), I just received a DHL notice that a bag that was shipped yesterday will be here on August 6?? But knowing DHL it will get it long before that.
My last bag took about 16 or 17 days too - just over 2 weeks - via USPS. That's why I was a bit surprised that this one, which is also USPS, still hasn't made it into the US yet and it's now been three and a half weeks. I can wait; I just thought they'd be on similar timelines, and it's making me paranoid that something happened with the package.
Aw, thank you so much! I'm really so very happy that it all worked out!
What an amazing European trip that sounds like! I would love to do something like that some day!
@southernbelle43 I love your red “Raspberry” Mini Minerva so much! It is a such beautiful shade of red. Which of your photos shows the truest color? Such a bright beam of happy during these frustrating uncertain times! Thanks so much for taking the time to do these detailed comparison shots. It helps so much to see these bags side by side! I was especially interested in the Midi Modena comparison, since I don't have that style yet.
The strap photo is as close as it gets, but it is still not completely accurate. Here is a comparison of my other red bag, although it looks a little more orangey than it really is.@southernbelle43 I love your red “Raspberry” Mini Minerva so much!

But the Little M color is close.

I really love this bag. Red bags are just gorgeous. I agree with someone who said you cannot have enough red bags.
I am so pleased to hear this. The Persian green metallic is such a stunning leather. I cannot wait to see your gorgeous Sabrina it will definitely be worth the wait.I have an update with my Sabrina.

I got an email with a shipping notification my midi Modena in Bordeaux red verona and pink lining is on its way. I cannot wait to get this bag. Super excited.
USPS is definitely all over the place. My last shipment took about 3 weeks. The previous 2 shipments took a little over a week. The one before that took about 3 and a half weeks. With USPS you just never know.
Red goes with so much more than you think... also orange. The ladies on here have taught me that.
