Ohhh! Big news: 20% weekend promo. I just got an e-mail!
Looking back through the posts about the Mia thinking about the sale this weekend. Am I correct that the crossbody rings and straps are customizations? They don't come standard on the Mia?
Please help me think about this sale this weekend. I love Marco's medium-sized structured bags. I like to carry crossbody, not by hand, in the crook of my arm, or under my arm chicken-wing style. I have several beautiful Zhoes. I have an Aurora. I'm eyeing a Grande Mia.
I think what doesn't resonate with me about the Aura and the Clio are the big hardware statements on the front. I'm also not a fan of that accordion thing Zhoe Legend does -- I'm more a one-compartment kind of person when it comes to organization.
Are there other MM styles I should be considering given my aesthetic preferences? Or should I just continue my Zhoe collection because that style is realistically the best fit?

I’m strongly considering the Grande Penelope Messenger. I don’t like the accordion compartments on the Zhoe Legend either. The GPM has some organization with the three compartments but the main section is just one compartment. I also like the clean lines of the GPM.
I like to carry crossbody too and always upgrade to the 1.2" wide strap.
The styles I recommend are Angelica, Theia Midi, Luna, Iride, Grande Mia, Juliet Midi, Victoria Midi (wings out), Aura, Little Minerva, Minerva Midi.
Haven't used my Soulmate Midi in a long while. My handles are shortened with an adjustable strap drop (from 12 to 18 cm). I usually wear it at the shortest setting for hand/arm carry, and with the long strap for shoulder carry. Tried it with the handle at longest setting today for shoulder carry, skipped the long strap, and I love it this way!
The yellow lining is #2 of my top three lining colors. (Tortilla shot to #1 recently, and #3 is orange.) The yellow lining and burgundy leather make an excellent pair. Don’t you just love MM’s straw? Who knew straw could feel soft?
@Sickgrl13 I’m curious...what lining color did you choose? (If it was me, I might have chosen apple green lining just to pleasantly shock myself every time I opened my bag.
)A removable, adjustable messenger strap comes standard with the Mia as well as the Grande Mia.
