Agreed! Marco has a way with words! From Marco’s description and @smile10281’s comparison photo of dark green Verona and dark teal sorrento, I’m guessing that the dark green Verona leans a tiny bit blue. I think dark green nappa is darker. From the photos I’ve seen of dark teal sorrento, it doesn’t seem that dark.

Yes, and on the Penelopes, because there is no side panel, I feel they sort of poke out in an odd way for a shoulder strap.
Off shortly to get second vaccine, yea. This black outfit definitely needed bling. And thanks to another nice poster I have just the thing. This style was never on my radar but has turned out to be a favorite!!!!
Nope, zip closes the whole of top opening on the Penelopes.
But Flora, Phoebe and Iride are designed for shoulder straps
And Penelope Messenger!
I am thinking about getting an Iride in a diamond leather.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
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. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your new bag! What kind of leather did you choose for your bracelets?
Thank you! You have made me feel a lot better. Although I haven’t yet confessed to my husband - LOL!
The bracelets are both in diamond leather, one silver and the other cobalt. I would love to have a whole bag in those and the wonderful Persian green, but I don’t have the funds or the room!
I followed your advice, and went for a very "unusual for me" leather,- Penelope Midi in Sapphire Blue DiamondYou 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.(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.
Ooh, your bracelets will be exquisite! Cannot wait to see them!
If it makes you happy, that is reason enough. You can always use the bags to store supplies( medication in one bag, skincare in another, etc). They will be there when you need to go to doctors appointments and they make great room decorations, especially beautiful deep blue Africa and purple Africa bags. Take care!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!?!

Because pretty things bring you joy and you need joy in your life. Purple Africa is one of the prettiest leathers out there. So, even if you just place that bag next to you on your bed, it will make you smile. (Plus that leather smell will inject a little euphoria too.
) 
Beautiful! The leather! The style! Oh, how I look forward to using my beautiful leather MM bags again, instead of the easily sanitized nylon cross-bodies!
