I am having a hard time figuring out if I will like Stardust or not. I like the shade of Pink but I wish I could see a video of the sparkle!

The purple velvet verona is awesome! You will love it.Ended up ordering a Calista midi in purple velvet verona. It’s so hard to come across such a saturated purple shade at Marco’s quality and price point, so it was a no brainer.
I think I’ll skip the stardust promo, I ordered a bag on sale at Strathberry this morning and really can’t justify buying so many bagsI’ll just enjoy stardust through everyone else’s reveals!
Your Hera convinced me!The purple velvet verona is awesome! You will love it.
Thank you so much for this insight! Very helpful.I have an Iride and a mini Zhoe (actually... multiple mini Zhoes). Both are beautiful - I find the mini Zhoe to be a great mini bag for everyday use. My mini Zhoe in black cuoio Toscano has had a lot of use the past several months. The leather is so beautiful and durable, and the look and the function suit my life really well, at least when I don't need to carry a lot. I find the mini Zhoe to be multifunctional - it's an errand bag, a driving kids to practice bag, and a date night bag, particularly in a special leather. The bag can have a different sort of feel depending on whether you have the thin leather strap with a few inches of chain, or a thin all-leather strap, or a wide strap.
I can't wait to travel again and take a mini Zhoe.
I customize my mini Zhoes with a top zipper, and it makes it even more secure but cuts down on what I can carry. The mini Zhoe closure is fully secure without the top zip, it's just something I tend to like.
The Iride is bigger than I'd expected and gorgeous, but it's more of a special occasion bag for me. If it were me, I'd go for a mini Zhoe, but that reflects my personal taste and how I'm using my bags these days.
I ended up ordering a Hera Midi in Wine with dark gunmetal hardware! The Deer Velvet Verona was also a contender, but the wine colour looked so saturated and lovely with the velvet finish, that I went with that one in the end.
Do you know if the recommended Collonil spray is the Carbon Pro or the one specifically for Suede and Nubuck? The Carbon Pro also says it’s safe for suede and nubuck, so I’m thinking that one, but have no experience of either.
Bringing up this old topic re: protection for velvet verona. I asked Marco just now and he said as long as the collonil spray can be used for suede (Carbon Pro is good for suede), then it's fine. However, spray no more than once per month.Sorry, he didn't specify. He just said: "It's always a good practice to protect at best any product in suede, nabuck, velvet or alcantara leather. Collonil protector would be more than good!"
Thanks for posting this. I have selected Blue Moon Stardust as my leather choice. These Stardust leathers are stunning.
I really love the blue moon stardust! Which style did you go with?Thanks for posting this. I have selected Blue Moon Stardust as my leather choice. These Stardust leathers are stunning.
I love that pink stardust photo you posted. So much so that I am considering a second Stardust bag. I already ordered the Blue Moon but I am seriously considering the pink. Especially as Marco told me the Stardust sparkle is very subtle and not too blingy. I like metallic but I like understated metallic and the Stardust according to Marco are very understated.I am having a hard time figuring out if I will like Stardust or not.

@Devyn Danielle Marco told black Stardust is available.Stardust is really pretty. Id‘d be really tempted if black was offered as I’ve been waiting for the right leather to get an Iride for dressier occasions.
I decided to go with the Clio. I have a Clio in Sandstone Verona with a little croc on the buckle strap. I really wanted another Clio in a darker color. I am also decided on maybe a pink or black Iride in Stardust.I really love the blue moon stardust! Which style did you go with?
