Well I was able to resist ordering a bag in Stardusk until I saw the nut bag posted by Marco and I completely lost it. Ordered a Sabrina midi in nut Stardust with dark gunmetal HW and yellow lining.
I have asked Marco for picture of storm grey and green stardust. I am kinda of disappointed that the grey is so much lighter than what is shown on the website. I wanted a colour-block Sabrina midi with these and had hope that the Grey is as saturated as the Green or Blue Moon. I was already to order till I see this picture.
Do you think Storm Grey/Green is more neutral/better combi than Nut/Green?
Does Dark gun metal or light looks better in attached picture? This will be my first order so want to be more certain and be wow than disappointed. TIA!

I perceive the green to be a warm colour and the grey to be a cold colour. Personally, I find it easier to create harmony combining 2 warm or 2 cold colours... So for me, Nut/Green would feel a safer bet. But for all I know, it may be my computer screen that is determining the warm / cold factor
I personally chose Nut/Green as I like warm colours. Storm Grey/Green looks fine to me as well, if you like cool tones. To me, light gunmetal looks better in this combi as I feel it is a little odd if the hardware is darker than the Storm Grey leather.
When I first saw the 6 colours offered on the blog, I thought that they made 3 perfect pairings for color-blocked styles: Blue Moon/Light Blue, Nut/Green, Pink/Storm Grey. What kind of look are you looking to achieve, and what will go better with most of your clothes?
That's exactly what I thought but I couldnt put a handle to it! The Grey on the website looks warmer with a tinge of brown so I thought it will go well with the green. But thw grey turns out much cooler than I thought/hope. I immediately feel disappointed when I see that. Thanks!I perceive the green to be a warm colour and the grey to be a cold colour.

I like warm colours too and I can't do cool colours cos I am a Spring/summer palette. Probably will not pick the Storm cos it is too light for my liking. Might do Nut/Green. Thanks for the input!
Thanks for posting this. Storm grey it is. I had a Calista in gray that my SIL admired so I gave it to her. I’m ordering a Calista Midi.
Yes to brass. (Is it too late to reply? Haven't read the rest of the posts yet...)When I ordered my very first MM bag, I asked whether it was possible to request my favourite, large (5cm) key clipView attachment 4934088
on a long strap in right end of bag.
I offered Marco to send him these clips, of which I have many. Marco replied that he could provide such clips, there was no need for me to send any.
Many months later I realized that Marco subsequently had ordered an unknown (but substantial) quantity of these clips in all four of his hardware colours. (Which is a real pity, as I would have been happy with all my key clips being in nikkel/silver colour, regardless of what colour the rest of the bags' hardware had. )
My two conclusions:
So I need to ask you all, before I ask Marco:
- Hardware items can be requested.
- Hardware items are only purchased in bulk.
Am I the only one who wishes that Marco offered brass hardware ? ? ?
When ordering what I perceive as "rustic style" leathers (Cuoio Toscanos and Vacchettas) I long to be able to order brass hardware. Because I feel the leather needs a warmer metal than silver or gunmetal but not as pretty/prim/pretentious as Light Gold.
Please let me/us know if you would like the option of brass hardware
Maybe Marco will not wish his designs to be combined with brass hardware. In that case, it's not an issue.
On the other hand, if Marco does not mind using brass hardware, I do not wish to be responsible for a bulk order of (and potential financial loss due to) brass hardware.
So I won't ask Marco about brass hardware unless several of us desire it.
Please reply, both pros and cons
Never too late, @samfalstaff
.If we reach a good number (with no commitments
), be it this year or next, I'll whisper the words "brass hardware" to Marco...

You might need to send it back and ask him 
I think it may refer to the amount of red, green, and blue, respectively, to create the color. (We use these numbers where I work as one means to specify the university’s “true” colors so everyone uses the same exact shade in all our official materials, printed/electronic).
I took a picture of the custom color generated in MS Word when I entered the numbers in the picture you attached. You can see the shade generated in the bottom right square.
