I am not going to be much help!! Both colors are fabulous neutrals. I think both the dark brown and the dark blue are very versatile colors. It depends what you lean towards in your choice of clothing. I do not think you can go wrong with either of those colors. They are colors that can used year round.

Does anyone know how slouchy a Tuscania Victoria would be?
, - think of the Calistas. The Muse design requires a lot of backing (unless in Pompei).
There are photos of some really beautiful slouchy Victorias in Nappa, Merinos and Verona. My impression is that the least slouchy ones are in Pebbled
? But they probably get a lot softer with use, too.
Maybe ask Marco how much structure /backing would be possible / suitable on a Tuscania Victoria...
I believe it totally depends on the backing. Tuscania in itself won't keep any shape

There are quite a few photos around, but they are REALLY laboursome to find. I must admit I have been "collecting" photos (with Snipping Tool) ever since I discovered this thread and the reference thread... Quite simply because once I find a photo that interests me, I am worried I will never manage to find it again...
If nobody objects or sues me, I can copy the pictures I have collected of blue and brown Tuscania bags here... But they are not my photos...
How much slouch does the bag have now? My first MM bag was a Selene midi in merinos and it slouched too much. I am hoping tuscania holds its shape a little better? INhave nit accepted Marco’s quite yet and it does slouch too much I may ask for the thinnest backing he has. Would you mind posting a photo of it. TIA
IGNORE. I SHOULD HAVE READ THE OTHER POSTS.
Tuscania is so unbelievably lightweight that I do not think one need worry about the weight of even quite thick backing
Thanks, Claudia!
Ooh, I think I remember seeing that Penelope with messenger strap before, it's a stunner for sure!Re: any leftover copper diamond, you'll never know unless you ask, and it's worth a shot dropping Marco an email, IMHO! That said, ITA on not waiting on leathers you really want, especially limited ones -- I'd been dreaming of a particular bag combination in Bordeaux Verona (which wasn't limited AFAIK), but waited too long and Marco ran out of it...
Sadly, he didn't even have enough left for a Little Penelope, but unless you ask, you never know... Otherwise, it's always worth keeping an eye out in the BST too, keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Thank you dear. I just sent Marco an email to ask him. I sent a photo of my first Selene and its slouch.Tuscania is so unbelievably lightweight that I do not think one need worry about the weight of even quite thick backing
Gosh that bag was beautiful. I don’t know if that much slouch would bother me now or not?
Honestly I aggravate myself! One month one thing bugs me, the next month it is something else.
However, the one dealbreaker that never changess is an opening that is too small! There is no problem with that in a Selene midi.
I have a Sabrina in this leather and color. It is one of my favorites. IMO the orange Tuscania is vibrant, but not garish if that makes sense. It is stunning.
I chose Taupe lining and Dark Gunmetal hardware. Only "mod" is a large key clip on a long strap,- I order one in every bag
I love the flexibility of the Theia strap and don't think I will need the messenger strap... but it might come in useful for other bags or maybe even be converted into to a belt (by my cobbler).
Lovely choices! That will be a beautiful bag!
I’m also thinking of the dark gunmetal hardware, but undecided about the lining. And still going back and forth between Theia or Hera. I ordered a Hera Midi in the Wine Velvet Verona, and absolutely love it. I will probably be obsessing over my choices until the last minute on Friday...
It has not slouched too much. It seems to have held its shape better than the merino midi Selene that I had and gave away.
Thank you Marco says they can add something and still keep it light. So I told him to do that.
Me as well! I was set on getting a Little Minerva but now I’m thinking whether I should get a Hera instead since it showcases the characteristics of Tuscania very well. Decisions, decisions!
