I was going through some pictures tonight and found pictures of my Midi Soulmates in Persian Green Metallic and Silver Metallic. Because both of those leathers are part of the current sale, I thought I'd share in case anyone is thinking about these leathers. I feel like Soulmate Midi is the perfect bag to show off the metallics. Persian Green especially is a showstopper bag. They are a bit bling-y, but not over the top.

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 :amazed::rolleyes:.

Coquelicot Orange would look great with black or grey. But I know me. I would not wear it... :frown:.

Instead, I have fallen for the Dark Chocolate Pebbled :heart:. Such a lovely brown. I'm going for an Aurora Midi, taupe lining, undecided about hardware.

You have to do what works for you; what makes your heart sing. Otherwise, it's a bag that will just sit in your closet. Good for you, going for what you love. :tup: (You can always try a bright or unusual-for-you color in a small item. That way it doesn't feel out of place or overwhelming.) Aurora will be lovely in dark chocolate! Marco can help you decide on the hardware.
 
@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!

I always enjoy Marco's descriptions of a color. I wonder if it is darker that your dark green nappa?

Does Marco ever take special customization order? I wish he has a similar design like this..it will look so beautiful in his metallics for evenings or his other leathers for casual looks.
Actually, it could be described as a tweaked Penelope Midi :idea:
A Penenelope Midi with "Hera folds/pleats" and shoulder strap.

This would be a brilliant addition to MM :yes::tup:

Please ask him and keep us posted :wave:

Oh you are so right!! I have been thinking which one of his bags this most resembles!
I'm so glad you posted that picture today,- I did not think there was any MM bag that would suit me for the pretty but very blingy Diamond leathers.

I am now going to order a Penelope Midi as a clutch bag, with the wristlet from Penelope :happydance:

Glad to get the opinions too! Do you think Pene midi will be nice as a shoulder bag aka LV pouchette accessoire? I have been thinking about that.
 
I must be insane. I had said that there was no point in getting any more bags. None at all!

But then I succumbed to the sale and have ordered another midi Selene (my very first bag was one of these in Deep Blue Africa) this time in purple, plus two bracelets.

I just couldn’t resist! But I am bedridden and never go out! Why on Earth have I done this!?!

:panic::panic::panic:

I also placed an order in purple Africa (Hera with Theia strap). I’m sorry to hear that you are bedridden; there is something about having beautiful pieces to touch and look at, even if not actively using, that brings me joy, and I wonder if you feel the same. I seldom go anywhere these days because of the pandemic, yet I have ordered probably upwards of 10 bags in the past 12 months :wtf::facepalm:. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your new bag! What kind of leather did you choose for your bracelets?
