I do this, too. When I find a style I really like, I tend to buy it in multiple colors.
I might be an outlier, but I almost never have the same bag in multiple colors. I tend to inevitably find a favorite and end up not wearing other colors/leathers as much

I did the same! I opted out of the wristlet strap and paid for a short strap and a crossbody strap. I'm waiting for my Penny in Sea Green. Hot Magenta looks great, I had also considered this and Sacramento Green, but ultimately went with Sea Green.
Been a lurker for some time here and the Muse is growing on me. I've been eyeing a few bags with a similar structured shape (the cartier guirlande comes to mind) but the Muse is more subtle and suitable for everyday. Now I just need to decide if I like it better in Nappa or Pompeii!
So glad to find another fan of the Angelica with top zipper as well, I have many in this style.I'm definitely now becoming a (soft, 2-way) Astra & Angelica (with top zipper) girl. I plan to collect several more of each this year.
What leather do you have in mind?
Hi, welcome!
To help you decide, the Muse in Pompei would keep its shape while the Muse in Nappa would slouch and soften over time.
Also new here and eyeing up different options (including the Little Muse)! Is there a running list somewhere of leathers that are more structured/will keep shape better vs. slouchier ones?
Hi, welcome!
I don't think there's such a list.
I think it would be best to ask Marco about the bag style you like and how structured or slouchy you would like it to be and ask him to recommend leathers for you. He would consider the way the bag is made to consider what is possible or not.
For example, I really like the Angelica to keep its structure over time so Marco suggested that he could add extra backing to make the bag more stiff. For the Muse, I don't think extra backing could create the same effect because of the way the bag is made.
Another example is Pompei is quite stiff so it can't be used for some styles.
