I asked Marco in the last couple of days what velvet verona he had available and he said some purple, one skin of Independence Blue and some Nude. I thought I might get another velvet verona bag for an Astra.

Owners of Hera Midi: can you let me know what’s the width of the shoulder strap? Thank you!
As well, having never owned a Verona bag before (I do have one in the way though), can Verona owners let me know if you think this type of leather is drapey enough for Hera?
I have a midi Hera and attempted to take pictures showing the strap width. As you can see, the strap is not of uniform width - it’s thinner in the middle (a little less than 1.5 inches) and a little wider at either end.
As for whether Verona is drapey, I agree with @Devyn Danielle. The leather does slouch. I have a full sized Theia in Verona and took pictures of it with stuffing and without to illustrate this.. the leather is thick and smooshy, but without any contents, the bag does kind of collapse. I love it though!
Congrats on your Calista midi/ first MM bag; I love the style and color!!

I think my next order is going to be a Hera Midi in Verona. Now I just gotta decide on the colour. Your bags are beautiful! Love that yummy slouch of your theia

Folks if you wonder how a Massacessi bag holds up... DD came home for Christmas and used the Minerva that she conned me out of. At the airport I told her I would carry it for her and it almost toppled me off my feet. I just had to post photos of what was in it. And by the way I weighed it and it was right at 9 pounds! Not a mark on it. Looks like new and it was preowned before I bought it. So use those bags ladies. They can take it. She threw out the clear water bottle, so I used one of mine to show you what was in the bag. Oh and I just noticed that head phones were in there too, but she took them out when she got home. Good grief Charlie Brown. I am still laughing.
That definitely gives new meaning to carrying everything but the kitchen sink!!!
It is one of the metallics. I cannot remember the color name because I bought it from someone. And I cannot look it up. It is a beautfiul metallic and I am shocked at how there is no edge wear or anything. Needless to say my entertainer daughter traveling all over the world (well before the pandemic) does not have time to baby a bag. It either makes it or it doesn't. lol.
You nailed it. You should try to pick up one of her suitcases when she is on the road with all of the music, microphones and costumes in it. She always have to pay for over 50 pounds at the airport. It is good thing she is strong.
I agree! His bags hold up very well!
I have a Penelope with a cross body strap in Port Merinos that I have carried since September 2019 and it does not have any wear at all! I was inspecting it about a month ago looking for corner wear and seeing if I should condition it. Nothing! I have worn the gunmetal off the zipper teeth, but everything else looks the the same as the day I received it! I did not change out purses this year. I just didn't feel like it with Covid. All of my bags from him look great, but I have never made a purse work as hard as my Penelope. She has been tossed, wiped, sterilized 
, rained on, set on the floor of my car (a lot 
), and a drink or 2 spilled. The strap shows no wear, too!
