River vachetta is my favorite of all the Massaccesi leathers ever. (although I have admired so many of his) It is just such a gorgeous deep midnight that I have missed it the most, out of all the bags of Marco's I've had and then gifted or sold. I am a sucker for neutrals that are kind of unusual and have a bit of interest to them. I also love the dark taupe vachetta, but I get to see it every day at my workplace because a very sweet lady named Mary is carrying her Angelica in that leather. Black vachetta is also amazing but I have had really good luck recreating what I like about that leather (saturated, blacker than inky black effect with a glow) when painting vintage Chanels black so I don't miss it. But darn it if I can't stop thinking about that river vachetta. There has been no other MM leather that has left that kind of footprint in my memories and I am so excited my Astra satchel will be in that darkest of midnight navy blue colors.
Because.... yes I have more items in very dark navy in my wardrobe than any other! Mostly slacks, and of course dark denim. I have a denim jacket I have been wearing a ton, and lots of (mostly flowy wide leg) dark blue slacks in cupro (vegan silk) material. I counted up the items in my wardrobe yesterday that are dark blue/navy and the items that are black and indeed, I have more dark blue or navy. So I feel confident I need at least one navy purse and do not have one so there you go! Astra satchel to the rescue! Blue is my favorite color, so the light blue color block and lining will just help bring out the blue undertones in the river vachetta and give an overall impression of the Atlantic Ocean against the sky or something like that.
