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.

I ended up gifting it to my mom, but now both of us want the smaller version.Yes. It was that one. I came close to buying that one about three times, lol. But I am into smaller bags now so I resisted.
That color is just stunning-like an Iris. I love how the bag looks in pebbled leather and the wisteria is the perfect accent color.
so pretty in this colorway. I haven't seen much of the brownrose nappa. It looks very elegant with the taupe.

I still have some leather reserved with Marco (the brown/tan sorrento) so my mom will probably get that leather.I have the smaller one and it is one of my favorite bags.
@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 minutesI'm so jealous! I've got major Astra envy. I wonder why mine isn't anywhere near and it was sent 8 days ago.

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.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.

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.Gorgeous. I love everything about this bag. The style, leather, lining and hardware. Verona is my favorite MM leather.

Thank you, this is helpful. I wonder how Desire Red compares to red Cherry Nappa?Comparison of Desire Red Verona with Amaranto Pebbked in case anyone is interested. Marco says Desire red is much ligher than amaranto, it has more fuchsia and a bit of orange on.
