From what I understand, Tuscania skins are by far the largest (most stretched?) of all the skins Marco ever purchases. I would therefor assume that of all the promos, Tuscania is the one where there is the least risk of a colour running out.

But then we have the results of our survey....
The most popular colours by far were Midnight Blue and Bordeaux. So if you desperately want one of these two colours, you might need to drop Marco a line...

I think Modena with extra backing would be beautiful in Tuscania. Not so sure about the ends / short sides of Aphrodite...

Okay. Thanks for the info!

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!

i think either style would show off the leather well. Here’s a Bordeaux Tuscania with dark gunmetal Cassandra. The messenger style of the Cassandra kinda reminds me of the Minerva. This picture has always tempted me to get a Cassandra. As you can see, it’s gorgeous, and now I’m wanting a Little Minerva in tuscania(sigh)

The bordeaux tuscania Cassandra that you posted is actually THE BAG that got me into MM :heart: Is this your bag? The photo of the bordeaux tuscania swatch that Marco included in his email yesterday looks a few shades browner than this Cassandra.

I asked Marco about this because this bag made me gasp. (Edit: I asked him if the current bordeaux was more brown.) Here's his response:

"We have already compared new skins with "old" Tuscania leftovers we had. Cobblestone, bordeaux, midnight blue and orange are exactly as they were before, same shade and same color tone.
On that picture you sent bordeaux seems a bit lighter that real leather is, I'd describe bordeaux Tuscania as a bit darker than I see on that image. Unfortunately it's extremely difficult to capture correct color shade using a cellphone or taking pictures at home.
On the other side it is also true that even Tuscania colors change their shade a lot depending on exterior light. I wouldn't describe bordeaux Tuscania as a dark red with lots of brown in it. I think that image that I'm attaching shows bordeaux Tuscania extremely well!"
I've attached the image he sent me. Still beautiful IMO!

Thank you so much! Really appreciate you sharing his response! Very helpful. It’s such a beautiful colour :love:

Now the difficult decision: Little Minerva or Hera? :confused1: If only my money tree wasn’t so bare!
