Marco did mention that some of the leather colors were popular for the Astra Satchel so he had to wait for additional skins from the tannery. Octane was one of those colors. (My friend ordered her satchel in grey after me, but got it almost 2 weeks before me).

I'm so jealous! I've got major Astra envy. I wonder why mine isn't anywhere near and it was sent 8 days ago.
@SouthernPurseGal I hope your Astra arrives this week! Just to let you know, I live on the US east coast and it took about 13 days from when Marco shipped mine to when my white box was delivered. It then, you know, tack on about 15 minutes :biggrin: :nuts: for: wiping down the white box, retrieving the invoice and numerous papers he provided for custom officials, cutting open all the plastic and white tarp that encases the box, cutting open the cardboard box, and wading through the awesome packaging to get to your bag. I've said it before, but Marco should have a master class that other companies take about how to ship items so they survive any kind of weather calamity! :lol:
 
Astra hobo in mud verona with gold hardware and red lining. This turned out exactly as I hoped it would. My goal was to have a bag that I can reach into to grab what I want, thus, no zipper. I don't have to worry about security issues. And no the closure is not crooked, it was just the angle of the photo. I am not a good photographer. Ditto on the spot on the inside, not sure where that came from. Maybe I should delete all of these and start over!

As always the quality is impeccable and Marco chose the HW and lining. He knows I love red. The front strap with the clever hardware works perfectly to keep it closed but still allow my easy access. I am absoutely amazed at how light it is! I have never had a Massaccesi bag this size that is so light. I chose a shoulder strap because I hate crossbody carry. It chokes me to death, lol. I am thrilled with my latest MM.

Gorgeous. I love everything about this bag. The style, leather, lining and hardware. Verona is my favorite MM leather. I cannot believe it took me so long to buy Verona leather MM bags. I might have to get one more Verona leather bag as the tannery has stopped producing it. Enjoy your fabulous new bag.
 
@djfmn I remember reading that you have a verona Clio. How are you liking it? I’m thinking of ordering a Clio in one of the Verona leathers before they discontinue production. Did you ask for extra backing?

Thank you dear! I am conflicted about it. Remember when we could not get Africa, then it came back? It may be that Verona will be produced again some time in the future. If I did not have a Verona bag I would quickly get one. Thankfully I have three.
