Hi,

I have only been admiring MM bags but never ordered from Marco before. Have only recently bought a Flora on BST.

Have always been admiring the Sabrina cos it looks so chic and dressy. But seems like it is not a popular style. Is there any reason for that? For those who have it, how do you like it?

Do you think Stardust will be nicer on midi Sabrina or midi Calista as an everyday bag? Btw, I don't carry alot.

Also, is it too wide when carried crossbody?

TIA

I love Sabrina. I have a midi in black nappa with dark gunmetal hardware. I typically use it for date nights with hubby. I would like another, but just haven’t gotten around to it. As an everyday bag, I’d definitely go with Calista, but I think stardust would look better in Sabrina. Midi Sabrina doesn’t hold much without looking stuffed due to it’s design. Though I’ve never carried it crossbody, I can’t imagine it looking too wide when worn crossbody. It’s a nice medium sized bag.

Lol I just changed into my orange Tuscania Sabrina midi and am considering buying another one in the grey stardust leather. It is a great bag.

Only 10 days to the east coast. I thought it would take at least two weeks with all the packages being mailed out this time of year.

Garnet Red Hera with Theia strap modified to same strap drop as Hera strap. Sitting on top is my free Little Penelope in Deep Red Fiore. I took the opportunity to get a Theia strap for my other Hera that’s in dark blue nappa. Marco still had the remnants of leather he used for that bag, so it’s a perfect color match.

WOW!!! This is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Hera I have ever seen :love:.
Actually, I believe it is one of the most beautiful bags of ANY design or make that I have ever seen :drool:.

I own a lovely China Blue Pebbled Hera, with Theia strap. I've really loved my Hera, but .... It hardly looks as if it is the same design. Your photo shows that Hera needs the softer, thicker Verona to reach her full potential.

Is the Garnet Red Verona as close in colour to Deep Red Fiore as the photo indicates?

Congratulations with your divine bag :flowers:

Hi MM lovers,

I have another question. This is a bag I bought from BST, leather is gorgeous and hardware is excellent quality..However, the glue seems to be coming apart. Pls see picture.

Is it common? Should I find leather glue to glue it back or just leave it? Thanks.

I have both the midi Sabrina (that I purchased on BST) and a midi Calista, and I think stardust would look better on the Sabrina. In my opinion, Calista needs to be a bit more on the slouchy side, and I’m not sure if Stardust is slouchy enough (though you can ask Marco, and ladies here can chime in). I love my midi Sabrina, it has a lot of character and looks so elegant when worn by the chain or as a clutch, but the midi Calista definitely fits more!

Thanks for the info. I had thought that both carry about the same as the dimension is about the same and both are flat bags.

Thank you!
I’ve dreamt of a Hera in Verona for quite a while now. Hera, in Verona, is absolute perfection for me. I’m so tempted to get one more while Verona is still available. :-s Did you share a picture of your China Blue Hera? I’d love to see it.

I would say midi Calista is a hobo rather than a flat bag, there are a couple of photos in the previous pages of midi Calistas filled with stuff, and some lovely modshots too. Both Sabrina and Calista are wonderful, good luck deciding :flowers:

Hi, Devyn Danielle :wave:
Since I wrote my previous message, I've given my Pebbled Hera a pummeling and massage. Thinking that if I do that daily, maybe it will become soft enough to start resembling your Verona Hera...:-s

I've never posted or taken a photo of my Hera. Or any other bags than my Minerva Midi. I've had a bad concience about not posting photos of my bags, especially as I love (and choice-wise depend on!) everyone else's photos. So I have now made a resolution: Between Christmas and the New Year I will photograph all my bags for the reference thread :smile:.

When Marco announced the end of Verona, I ordered a Garnet Red Calista, a Brown Calista and a Black Hera Midi (also with Theia strap. LOVE Theia strap). Your Hera is (not surprisingly), nudging me towards ordering a full sized Hera as well. But the other available colours don't really appeal to me. Apart from Bluette, but that would put dear China Blue "out of business". And I suspect it would be rather silly of me to order a second bag in Brown or Garnet Red, especially as both these colours are unusual choices for me (I've always been a black/blue/purple/wine gal)
