@ohmisseevee if you love purple, & it makes you smile each time you open the bag, go for it! Or ask Marco's opinion. Or let him choose. That's always an option.

Well, in my opinion... none of the other linings would look quite as fantastic with the black Pompei as purpleThat is why I am torn! Conceivably, I could love at least several of the lining colors - they are all fantastic.
Also no trouble with EMS shipping. Arrived in California in a little over a week.
Very pretty! Is it Fiore leather?
Yes, it is Fiore. Really beautiful.Very pretty! Is it Fiore leather?
What did you get as a contrasting leather color with the black? that might help in determining the lining color. Do you want an understated lining for dressier or corporate use? Or a pop of color regardless of how you will use it?Sorry to double post - I haven't finalized it yet but I am in the last stages of finishing my order for the Astra satchel! I did end up going with Pompei in black, most likely with gold hardware. I am having the most difficult time choosing a lining though?! Do I go with my favorite color (purple) or something that complements the bag more?!
Perfect fall color! I’m curious about the Fiore leather. Is it pliable or stiff?

I’m ordering the satchel in black Pompeii with a silver or titanium Pompeii strip on the flap. I’m drawing from the colors of the Art Deco Chrysler building in New York as my inspiration and am thinking of a dark taupe lining. I might throw in a bright lining though.
It sounds like we are designing similar bags! I am going to ask marco to do a mock-up with silver and pewter glitter to see what I like. I have tried using photoshop for this but it is not coming out right. I have also been thinking about asking if he can color block the strip of leather at the bottom of the flap as an additional color point.I was considering black Pompei / pewter Glitter Pompei, or black Pompei / platinum Glitter Pompei, but I am leaning towards the first option because the color contrast is more subtle, and hence more my style.
I actually don't feel that any particular lining color is more or less dressy (though I could see the argument for certain colors being more appropriate for a corporate setting), and the dress code at my own job is very casual, so I am leaning towards that pop of color regardless! I was actually considering beige or silver for the lining, since they are both neutrals that would complement the black/gray colors on the outside, but I think I will be much happier with a pop of color.
