They're both lovely. I can't wait to get my second hand chocolate Verona midi selene. I'm sitting out the Verona sale because right now I'm finding previously hard to afford premier designer bags on the second hand market for half of a MM custom order. So it's a buyers market right now for second hand and I'm going to take advantage. But....when a promotion comes up I've decided on nut nappa soft Astra....with beige lambskin lining.....??!
Tell me about the lambskin lining!! Never tried.

I have a saturn wallet that is lined in black lambskin. Very luxurious!

I'm affraid I've only kept an edited version, where I compare the same snip of leather as shown on his website with photo he sent:

The true colour is somewhere in between but more golden. No pink hue.

Thanks for the photo! You're right - the photo he sent looks better than what is on the website.

Does anyone here have a brown verona bag that they can share photos of?

I received my Calista midi in gentian blue fiore today. Shipping time was a little less than 2 weeks via USPS, much faster than I had expected. The parcel was extremely well packaged, as many reviews had mentioned before. Took me a good 10 minutes to finally go through the layers of tape, cardboard and tissue paper to get to my bag lol.

The quality is great, I can see how much work Marco and his team has put into the details. Leather smells amazing! The leather is thick and supple, but not necessarily drapey, so I probably wouldn’t choose this for Hera (although it may soften more with use). Super, super comfortable to wear - Marco knows his bags.

Two things I wanted to mention:
1. The gentian blue was less saturated than the swatch photo, more muted. Had I known this I may have chosen a different colour instead. I think the colour in real life is similar to the swatch photo of bluette Verona.
2. The magnet closure is a bit more visible than I would have preferred. If I were to order another Calista midi, I would’ve opted for the invisible magnetic closure on the Little Minerva instead.

I don’t know what my camera is picking up on, but the photo shows the colour more vibrant than it actually is.

Can’t wait to take her out on her maiden voyage. This is with all my stuff inside.

Update on this: I’ve read in this thread somewhere that a few ladies were initially not 100% wowed by their MM bags when they first received them, but grew to love them and appreciate them. I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment, a week after receiving this Calista midi. I had mentioned in my review earlier that the colour is not as bright as MM’s photo online, and that is true, but having worn her a few times I realized that I actually prefer this slightly more muted blue. It’s more versatile, suitable for more occasions, while still retaining that pop factor. Fiore is not flowy or drapey, but it has the exact right amount of slouch for this style. And did I mention how comfortable this bag is? She’s a delight :smile:

This is stunning! I love it :heart: Diva is quickly becoming one of my favourite MM styles, I’m loving all the photos I see here. How’s the weight of the Diva? What’s the leather for your Little Penny?

It's very light. It feels barely there. The Penelope is light Celeste metallic.

I love the tassels. I know that's not everyone's thing but I feel like it adds a boho interest to it. I had been eyeballing it for a while and finally pulled the trigger with the Penny promo.

Thank you! Can you please measure the width of the shoulder strap for the Diva? I’m seriously considering one, but not sure if I should add an extra Minerva strap if the original strap is too thin.

I need to see more of that Pink Stardust!

Send Marco an email and ask if he has a sample piece that he can take a photo of. I am a sucker for metallic leathers and this one he said is a very delicate sparkle which sounds amazing. I said no more bags this year but I am definitely getting a Stardust bag. This leather is gorgeous.
