Verona has a plasticky feel similar to Chanels caviar leather. Not fun to caress. But super durable!!!! If you are hard on your bags this is crucial. I prefer lambskin because I rotate between 37 bags.

Thank you @Devyn Danielle & @Fancyfree for your opinions on the different Hera Straps. Theia it is! This group is so helpful! Happy New Year!
I have a quote from Marco for those ladies still considering an order in the very durable lovely Verona leather:
“Hard to know what will happen with Verona. Surely tomorrow evening we'll remove Verona from our list of available materials. We still have some Verona skins apart that will be possible to order but I think that in few days it will become very difficult to find them still available.“
And yes, I caved & placed an order. I have several bags in soft delicate leathers that I have to baby, but I find that sometimes for an everyday bag, you just want a leather that is as durable as pebbled, but weighs much less.

: What did you order???
We have about 24 hours more to consider Verona leathers. I was so in love with the lime color on the website that I was almost ready to place an order. As usual, I asked Marco for more pictures and now I am confused and very hesitant about the color. I'm sharing pics here in case this is just what you wanted but weren't sure. The first picture is indoors in artificial light. The second picture is outdoors in natural light. I have leaf pebbled which has a bit more yellow undertone irl.

Here are a couple more pics I had requested - in case they help you pick a color.
Marco says amber is a yellow with a lot of orange.
Notice how the olive green barely has a green tinge? It looks very taupe to me. I so wish I could see it irl... Sigh.

Looks as if the Lime must be one of those colours that is really hard to photograph. Hmm..
How about asking Marco to send you a leather sample? The 10% off might not be worth the risk, and it's not as if these leathers will get thrown away if not ordered by tonight...
I’d agree with that description. Because of the feel, I’m not totally in love with Verona, though I often use my two bags, a midi Victoria and an aura. The leather is perfect for wet weather.
Interesting. What I love most about verona is how it feels. Thank goodness there is something for everyone.
My white box arrived from Italy yesterday and it was too dark to take photos. Here are photos of the dark red Fiore midi Calista with dark blue lining and my purple velvet verona midi Diva with lilac lining. I love the midi Calista the full size was always too big for me. I also love the midi Diva. I gave my full size Diva in storm grey merino to my daughter and this is the replacement. I requested a tie and not tassels I am not a tassel person. I love the size and I love velvet verona.
I agree with fancyfree in regards to seeing a sample swatch irl first before making an order in case the colour isn’t what you wanted. For me, I ordered the amber Verona Clio because I had that on my wishlist, so when Marco announced the discontinuation of Verona, I jumped at the chance. When I was planning that bag, I had wanted a yellow crossbody for summer, and was debating between yellow pebbled and amber Verona. On my computer screen, amber Verona looked similar to yellow pebbled but with a touch more orange. I think it definitely leans more yellow than orange.
I also love the feel of verona. To me it does not feel plasticky at all. You are right thank goodness there is something for everyone.
I love the lime verona. I am leaning towards lime verona in a Little Athena. Verona is one of my favorite leathers and I love this color. Amber is a close second. I have to decide between those two before the end of today. Hmmm Lime or Amber!!!!
I love them!! For the deep red Calista midi, would you say any of your photos show the real colour? Is it a true red?
