Whoa! Are you in Europe or the US? I paid for USPS since I’m expecting to miss the mail Slowdown from the Christmas rush, and USPS doesn’t seem to be too bad lately to the US. I am tempted to pay the extra for UPS though. I love how quickly I receive my bags with UPS.

About the enforces base, does it add significant weight?

I don't believe it does.

When I asked Marco about whether and how he could ad structure to the base, the first option we discussed was what he called "a flying bottom" :giggle:. This is evidently the Italian term for a loose inner base.

Marco wrote: "We use a pliable / flexible cardboard covered by lining all around. If you prefer something more "natural" we could use a piece of Vacchetta or Pompei instead of cardboard."

My inititial reaction was scepticism to cardbord,- what if my bag gets wet?
Then I thought about how heavy Vachetta is and how even my Vachetta bag does soften with time.

So I opted for Pompei. And instead of "a flying bottom" I ordered "Base invisibly reinforced with Pompei"

I love your bag what a gorgeous color. The Velvet Verona is such an amazing leather. The postage is hit and miss unless you use UPS if you are in the USA. I normally go with USPS and sometimes I get it in a week and other times it takes 4 to 5 weeks. My last bag arrived in under a week about 6 days. The bag before that took close to 5 weeks. The 2 bags before that arrived in about a week and a half. Now that it is getting close to the holiday season and they are expecting more packages to be shipped this year because families will not be getting together and traveling due to Covid the shipping times will be even longer.

This time of year with usps will likely give you a delivery in January. I have experience delays in both Italy and here (longer) with usps during this time of year. Even ups takes longer, but certainly not as long.

I’m hoping since my bag probably won’t be ready to ship til some time in January that there won’t be any out of the ordinary shipping delays.
