How do you like the Velvet Verona? It looks very soft!
I really like it! The leather feels a lot like suede but maybe a little less fuzzy, for lack of a better term. It is smooth and feels luxurious. The straps folder over easily, which is great as I think I’ll prefer wearing this bag with the long messenger strap and tucking the shorter straps to one side. I wore the bag yesterday when out running errands and got caught in some light/moderate rain for a few minutes.. I was nervous because there were some resulting dark spots on the bag but they dried quickly and the bag looks just the same as before!
I know what you mean about the bling, I have a midi Victoria in the sea green metallic. Whenever I take it out of its dustbag I’m not sure it’s really me, but I have carried it more than I expected, especially on sunny summer days when I’m wearing jewel colours .
I just bought a wonderful Little Minerva on the BST in tweed 
as someone had suggested earlier it’s probably a good idea to get one on BST first to try out the size before committing to a full purchase from MM. Initially I wasn’t sure about tweed but it’s been growing on me
Can some ladies here give me some suggestions on how to care for MM’s tweed? Thank you!

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but to me calista was one of the least attractive MM styles - something about the length of the strap and the bag drop just didn’t appeal to me. However, this midi one is so adorable and reminds me of Veneta by BV, which is the most comfortable bag of all time IMO!
I absolutely agree. The regular Calista has never been a bag I would consider buying did not appeal to me at all. The midi Calista is definitely on my radar. I love the look of it and the perfect size. IMHO it is far more stylish looking than the regular Calista.I know this is an unpopular opinion, but to me calista was one of the least attractive MM styles - something about the length of the strap and the bag drop just didn’t appeal to me.

He’s been doing the free upgrades when he offers up to 20% off, not sure that I’ve seen free lining and HW upgrade at 25% off.This is exciting! It may be my first purchase directly from MM. I’ve only purchased a few bags from the BST so far (and loved each one
I may order the Calista Midi...just sent an email. What types of upgrades are you discussing? Newbie here (to this brand).
Welcome to the group. I am in the other group you post on over 50!! I know one of the ladies who ordered this bag ordered an additional outside pocket if I remember correctly.
I asked that question yes there is free lining and HW upgrades for this promotion.This is exciting! It may be my first purchase directly from MM. I’ve only purchased a few bags from the BST so far (and loved each one
HI there. If you order anything other than the grey or silver lining or the hardware that is listed as coming with the bag, then there are extra charges. But when he does his promotions you get to pick your lining or your hardware with no extra cost.
