Hi Dignatius, the burgundy Aquila matte does veer towards purple rather than red, It’s a lovely colour. on my screen Ludmilla’s picture looks more true purple than it is in real life.

I finally placed my order with Marco, and I'm afraid I did get the last purple velvet verona hide.
@carterazo by "and the rest" I meant all the other details that need to be decided
Anyway I did decide - I went for the Diva, as that was my first instinct, but I went for the Midi Diva which I wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for this thread, so thank you all. I have chosen light gold hardware and the marine lining. I got a shortened messenger strap as the one on my current bag is 100cm, and also the wider strap - thanks to all who suggested that. Marco is so lovely and he gave me a surprise discount, I'm so happy and the whole process was just super fun. So glad I found this thread.

Congratulations! I have the midi-Diva in the purple Goat leather and I love the bag. It is really a perfect small bucket bag. It will look beautiful in the purple velvet. here is a picture of mine.I finally placed my order with Marco, and I'm afraid I did get the last purple velvet verona hide.

Kimbashop, that is a gorgeous bag! Marco is such a magician with his leathers and colors.
I think right now, I am wanting to order the perfect everyday black bag for myself - something versatile and classy, and can be dressed up and down.
I was considering the Aurora Midi, but i already have this style in the original size so i am considering maybe trying something else instead, like the Clio with some modifications, or the Mia or Aura. I also considered Little Miss M, but I prefer a cross-body bag / long shoulder bag rather than a shoulder bag.
It's tough though - they are all beautiful bags and I could see myself being happy with any one of them!

Thank you! She is a sweet little bag. Midi Diva has written to the top of my list of favorite bags alongside Little Val and some BV cross bodies.
Thank you. He really is. You can tell he spent time placing the leather on different parts of the bag. The leather is both soft and thick, so that it stands open on its little feet and bottom but smooshes up nicely to close at the top. The side details are lovely (extra strip of leather, slightly raised base seam and a pretty hardware detail), giving the bag just a bit of structure. And there are lovely striations and texture on the body of the bag.
I love the Mia and the Aura as classic style bags with a bit of added "bling" via the clasps. I think their size and styling are classic.
have you tried little athena? I have one in black Verona as a messenger But I really use a minerva strap with it. LOVE the size and organization.
That is a really cute bag. I believe that @ohmisseevee had one in red so I don’t know if she would want the bag in black.
Carterazo. what did YOU decide?We're sliding down the hill (mountiain?) with you!
Just saw this on their FB page... I’m intrigued! That’s a beautiful hardware combination.
I saw it too. I love that attachment and the strap detail. That would work really well with many of his other bags too!
