Why thank you, I will gladly accept that descriptor.
But I think the idea of a Midi Calista with an adjustable strap is super brilliant!! That is going to be a gorgeous little bag. I can’t wait to see it!

This is what Marco told me about the leather:
Compared to regular Verona this Velvet version is slightly thinner and lighter, perfect for all those customers who love lightweight leather bags! Regular Verona would obviously win if we'd consider just protectors used over leather surface but that doesn't mean that Velvet Verona is an extremely delicate leather. It will obviously need a bit of extra care compared to Pebbled or Fiore or Verona but its elegance will never have competitors. Velvety effect of this leather is stunning!
He also said the colors look even nicer in person!

He is making this very hard to resist, lol.
My last 2 bags have been verona. Bordeaux midi Modena and the Clio in Sandstone. Marco said to me if I like Verona I will love Velvet Verona. He said Velvet Verona elevates Verona to a new level. It is so luxurious and the colors he said are so vibrant. Did I need another bag did I want another yes so I of course I broke down knowing this would be my only opportunity as it is a limited production leather. I missed out on purple last time and I decided not this time.
Hi @msd_bags, I'm totally going in without knowing the exact dimensions . You'll need to contact Marco sorry! For me, as long as I know it's a little smaller than the regular sized Calista is good enough for me haha!Oh, there is a Calista midi?? Where can I find dimensions? Thanks.
And just a reminder, for those who don't want to miss out but can't afford a bag right now, or, you had a color that was your second choice but didn't pick for your bag....there's always Penelopes:
A calista midi??? Help me... I just ordered the Clio in independence blue.
post sizes when you get them!

I was torn between Blue Jay and Independence Blue and asked Marco fir his opinion. He preferred the Blue Jay because the vor was so rich and elegant. I have always trusted his opinion so went with Blue Jay. I can't wait to see pics of your Independence Blue bag.
Marco told me the Calista midi was about 20% smaller than the regular Calista. He also indicated that most midi versions of regular MM bags are about 20% smaller. Unfortunately I did not ask for the dimensions.Oh, there is a Calista midi?? Where can I find dimensions? Thanks.
Excellent Reminder! Penneys are so useful. I also love Floras & Phoebes!
I just finalized and placed my order - an Angel in wine and independence blue. Thanks a million to @christinemliu for the inspiration and advice! I asked Marco about colorblocking on this bag (yes, I’ve been on a colorblocking kick!) and he kindly sent me a few mock-ups. The image below is what I decided on.
I emailed Marco yesterday asking about availability, but haven't heard back from him yet. He's usually faster in responding. Could it be because I used the info instead of order email? I tend to use the info one while we go back and forth and then the order with my final desicion and actual order. I guess I'm being impatient. Lol!
Marco told me the most sought after velvet Verona is the purple. I was not surprised by that at all. I am pleased I got my order placed before he runs out of that color.
I'm not surprised either! Now I'm wondering if I should add a Penelope in this leather, too.
