It’s taken a month and a half, but I finally took a couple of mod shots! My mom asked for pics of a dress, and I actually remembered to put on my bag when I took the pics.

I still absolutely love this bag. The black nappa is lovely, and the design is perfect for me!

I’m also throwing in a bonus shot of my blue Africa Phoebe in action. My only regret with this one is not also ordering one in lead Africa. It is such a hardy and unique leather!

Thank you for the lovely pictures. the bag looks great with your dress. I really love the look of the Nappa; it has a soft look about it which complements the sharp lines of the bag.

Ladies who got some of the newer metallics (not Africas) - how is the wear on those? Are they maintaining the color pretty well or does it rub off a bit?

I received a wisteria metallic Little Diana but then covid arrived so I have not had much chance to use it. I probably used it all of two times so not sure how it is going to wear.

This is a Phoebe in dark blue metallic I got new from the BST about 10-12 months ago. The color is intact but I do have a lot of edge smoothing on all four corners as I wear it exclusively crossbody style. To be fair, this bag has gotten a lot of use (2-3 times/week), especially the last four months, and I am not careful with it. It is my errand bag and I do take it to the gym so it has taken a lot of flinging around. Apologies for the dark pic, a thunderstorm just rolled in.

It is a midi Muse in orange tuscania. I love the tuscania leather, wish Marco would get some more colours.

I've heard that Tuscania can be a little delicate, similar to Balenciaga's Agneau leathers. My old Bal bags seemed to show wear on the bottom corners pretty quickly, but I believe that Tuscania is calfskin rather than lambskin so it could be tougher. Have you noticed any wear on your Midi Muse?

Not really, just very slightly dulled on the corners. As it already has a distressed finish, I find a regular treatment with leather cream restores it. It stands up to getting wet, I had to go out in heavy rain today and you wouldn’t know now.

anyone have a bag in croc leather - did it soften overtime?

I have a Sabrina and the handle is so stiff that it hurts my shoulder each time I carry it using the arm hole.

I am second guessing whether I should have ordered the midi size instead of the regular one
TIA
