I love your bag. I think the little Valerie is an under-rated style. I use mine all of the time and find it to be the perfect little satchel and crossbody bag.

Thank you for that information, the astra crossbody is slightly more North South compared to the satchel but actually I quite like that. And now there’s the Black Friday offer! Anyone know if there are any leathers Marco thinks not suitable for this style?
Here are some pictures of my newest MM bags.
1. Grande Penelope Messenger(GPM) in Natural Cuoio Toscano, yellow lining, light gold hardware, wider messenger strap and additional wider short strap. I love the size and clean esthetics of this style! It holds everything I usually carry with some room to spare. I was worried the GPM would be too small, but it is just right for me. The 3 zippered compartments make it so easy to be organized. I usually don’t like center zipped compartments in bags because I feel it takes up space. For some reason, I really like the function of the 3 sections in this style. Ordering two more GPM from the sale-dark green Cuoio Toscano and one in taupe grey Fiore.
2. Angelica Messenger in Blue Jay Velvet Verona, silver lining, light gunmetal hardware. The velvet Verona is incredible-so luxurious and pettable! Unfortunately,Marco only enough velvet Verona in wine available to make a bag, no other velvet Verona colors are available. I’m so happy that I got one bag in this amazing leather. The blue Jay is a really pretty teal-blue with slight grey undertones, not as dark as pictures on the MM website. Below are pictures of the bag, up close picture , and picture of the strap( Minerva straps with Ariana style strap attachments-tenkrat’s design).

I love both these bags they are gorgeous. The Velvet Verona is beautiful that leather looks amazing. I cannot wait to get my purple Velvet Verona midi Diva. Enjoy these fabulous new bags they are stunning.
Wow @lenie, I really love these two bags! They are bags I would love to own haha.

20% off all bags plus a free Little Penelope plus free hardware and lining upgrades!
Sooo awesome.
Marco did confirm that he has enough velvet verona in all cars for the little Penelope. Im getting a purple velvet verona for my gift.
I've been out of the loop with this board but this is MAJOR!
This gets me so excited to get mine except in the purple color! He gave me tracking today 
Question for the Theia owners...can the strap be removed completely? Like if I wanted to switch the strap out for a new Theia strap would I be able to just slide it off the rings like I can with the Hera? I’m looking at the pictures and can’t quite tell.
Placed my black friday order - Clio in eden green nappa with marine lining, silver HW I asked for little to no backing as I don't want this to look as stiff as pompei but still retaining some structure.
I asked for little to no backing as I don't want this to look as stiff as pompei but still retaining some structure.Thank you! I've asked for velvet verona little penelope too! I told Marco that my first choice is purple and second choice is wine. Hopefully he has at least one of them still in stock for me!
A quick shot of my “hybrid” calista midi... I did not want the messenger strap.. but I also wanted to have a little ability to adjust. So Marco added a buckle. Independence Blue w outer slip pocket; lining is cappuccino.

This is so cool! Do you mind measuring what the drop is at the shortest setting and longest setting?

Hi,
You have a gorgeous bag and calista crossbody looks like an easy bag to use. I am about the same height as you. Can you take mod shot of your mirror reflection of wearing it crossbody and as hobo? It is quite hard to imagine how it looks from a top down shot.
Also, do you think it s a casual bag or is suitable with office wear ? TIA!
