@Fancyfree my brown Verona calista midi just arrived and it only shipped out last week. I can’t believe that shipping from Italy to Canada is actually faster than shipping to Norway! I’ll do a detailed review and reveal sometime this weekend.

Oooh, can't wait to see photos!
I suspect the reason shipping is faster to your part of the world is the use of courier companies. They are usually a lot more efficient, but more expensive, than the national postage services. I guess I could ask Marco to use a courier for my parcels, too...
I used the Canadian version of USPS (the cheapest postal service that Marco offers), guess I’ve just been lucky so far
hope you get your package soon!My MM parcels are sent with PosteItaliane, their e-mails and website are only in ItalianI used the Canadian version of USPS (the cheapest postal service that Marco offers), guess I’ve just been lucky so far
.They send me an e-mail when they have received the parcel from Marco, and a new e-mail when my parcel has been delivered to my local post office.
I don't understand Italian. So once I thought my parcel was ready to be collected at my local post office, when actually the e-mail was trying to tell me that Marco had posted a second parcel
Can anyone who has experience with the Diamond Metallic leathers comment on it’s durability? Especially on the corners? I know it is a more delicate leather, but just how delicate is it? Thanks in advance. 
My mind is spinning with the possibilities!

That Tiffany Blue is tempting me...Here are pictures of some swatches I requested from Marco. I always ask him to pair it with a leather I have so I can get a better perspective on the color. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks for the comparisons! I have an orange pebbled and it’s a true orange imo. Based on the photo I’m guessing coquelicot is an neon leaning orange?Here are pictures of some swatches I requested from Marco.

And based on Marco’s promo email I guess that’s all there’s left of Verona.

Me too...
I'm not sure about neon? I'm thinking it's more of an orange with quite a bit of red, but not fully a red orange. That's just my guesstimate.
Not being able to see a color irl is not easy. I always wonder how other screens show a particular color. 
Yes, I figure that's all that's left of Verona as well. I guess all the black is gone? I thought he would still have black. I wonder if the dark green is at all similar to a Trinity dark green from a couple years ago. Another color I wish I could see irl. Ok, I need to stop.

I’ve been super interested in the dark green Verona too and asked Marco for a comparison photo of that and dark green nappa, which I have. I may end up getting another Calista Midi in it (it’s my favourite MM style along with Little Minerva and Little Muse). That being said, I really need to sit on my hands because my money tree is bare now, no roots eitherMe too...

I did my best to convince myself that an orange could work for me. Looked through my cupboards and drawers. Discovered that colourwise, I am a very booring and narrowminded person. Black, greys and blues. My few "pops" of contrast are limited to deep teal, burgundy and deep purples

Coquelicot Orange would look great with black or grey. But I know me. I would not wear it...
.
Instead, I have fallen for the Dark Chocolate Pebbled
. Such a lovely brown. I'm going for an Aurora Midi, taupe lining, undecided about hardware.

Yes! It was your bags that I saw that I loved. I got the same strap drop as yours. I really like the look of the Anthracite, and I don't have any bags in that dark of a grey color.Oh, I do hope you like the minimalist strap version as much as I do(pretty sure you're referring to my bag
) My straps are a little longer than the regular straps, too, and I feel that is the essential component.
I was really surprised to see that Marco put Pebbled Anthracite in the clearance sale,- it is such an elegant grey. Glad I've already ordered 2 more bags in this leather

I’ve been interested in the dark green Verona, too! I asked Marco for a comparison with dark teal Sorrento, since that’s the only green I have from him. He said they are extremely similar and shared the pics below. I posted pics of my bag earlier in this thread (it’s the Grande Penelope Messenger). @afroken, how does it compare to dark green nappa?I’ve been super interested in the dark green Verona too and asked Marco for a comparison photo of that and dark green nappa, which I have.

@smile10281 Marco has left his workshop already by the time I reached out to him, I had forgotten that Italian time is 6 hours ahead of us. So he wasn’t able to produce a comparison photo. However, this is what he said about dark green Verona:
Dark green Verona is a very dark green with a tiny bit of purple undertones. Compared to dark green Nappa this Verona color is more saturated and surface is a bit "glossier" than Nappa. Personally I consider it a beautiful and very elegant green shade!
