Keep in mind that the Calista is narrow or thin. The cubes might be a bit too bulky. I would recommend you try some of your pouches first before you buy cubes for these bags in particular. Different sized pouches have worked quite well for me.

I like it well enough. I’m still learning that I should go with my first inclination when it comes to MM’s styles and even the leathers. While I won’t be getting rid of my Calista, the Hera is more my style. I like the big rings used on the Hera and the extra depth.
Me, I LOVE
my full-sized Calista.It's in Tuscania, so weighs nothing and has maximum drape. It looks good whether empty or stuffed. And is SO comfortable to carry.
I wish Marco would get more Tuscania colours.
I hope I will like mine as much as you do yoursMe, I LOVE

I chose the Calista style because I don’t want to have too much hardware for my hobo style. Hopefully it’s the right decision for me.
I have used the cubes with a Theia Midi and they work great - the bottoms are actually flexible, so they allow the contents to "drop" to conform to the shape of the bag's bottom! But I've typically found that pouches are easier to use in casually-styled hobo and shoulder bags, especially those that don't have flat bottoms. (Stashio is nice in that I can see everything in my bag at once, though.)
I have the stashio in both 5-inch and 7-inch height, and prefer the 5-inch height for most of my bags so that they don't cover any existing interior pockets and zippers. I think the 7-inch would probably be more helpful for taller N-S totes, or for a backpack.

More ugly bathroom shots with a beautiful bag-- this time with the Astra Satchel:
I also love the Astra satchel but I already have a bag with a very similar shape and size and find it a bit large for me: maybe Marco will do a midi version, though not sure how the turn lock would look on a smaller size.
I would say that the Astra crossbody is the midi version. Marco told me I could get it without the long strap and have the top handle instead for the same price of the bag. If I wanted both the top handle and the long strap on that bag then it would be extra. I did the measurements and felt it would be a bit small for me. But maybe the Astra crossbody might just be the right size you are looking for?
Very elegant and classy - you and the bag.
Looks like there is going to be an MM Black Friday event. There is something on his website about Black Friday more news to come!!!
I switched back to my Little Valerie in dark blue Flor today. It is by far one of my favorite and most unique bags.
