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. :confused1: My mind is spinning with the possibilities!

I have a teal diamond Mini Penelope that I've been using daily to hold my cards and a little bit of cash. The corners look great! They're not showing much wear at all.

Here is the brown verona Calista Midi that I received yesterday. Shipping was a little over a week. It has gold hardware and beige lining. Modifications include 2" extended shoulder drop and invisible magnetic closure (not recommended). Without further ado, introducing Miss. Brown Verona Calista Midi:

i love Verona leather! You picked such a beautiful color for the calista, pitty the magnet doesn’t work properly! Maybe your cobbles could add one on top on the exterior?
The shoulder extension seems a smart choice, maybe post a modshot?
Oh dear.
I sence my bank account is urging me to sleep for the next 36 hours.
Maybe another bottle of Cava will help?
Another bottle of cava always helps no matter what the situation is!!

I would describe the colour as a toffee brown or milk chocolate brown. The slouchy style really suits verona, it's so huggable and molds into your body, I love this leather! I prefer hobo bags with a longer shoulder drop so I requested a 2" extended shoulder drop, and am very happy with this modification.

Another modification I got was the invisible magnetic closure. I do not recommend this one, as the closure location is where two pieces of leather meet, and therefore the seams are thick and pretty much makes the magnet useless :crybaby: I'm okay with wearing this bag as an open top hobo, but this wasn't my intention when I ordered it. That was a mistake on my part.

Full disclosure: The inside zipped pocket didn't have a zipper pull. I reached out to Marco and he responded right away and said he'll include some zipper pulls in his next order and I can attach it myself. Amazing and speedy customer service, especially on a Saturday when everyone is off work!
Yummy leather!
