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!
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?

Welcome to our MM thread ladies! I highly recommend the Little Muse. I would suggest you consider other leathers as well for this model. I have had one in orange pebbled for several years and it is holding it's shape just fine. Let me see if I can upload a picture from a couple months ago.
 
BOTD: eden green nappa Clio for a walk at the nearby park. I haven’t worn her in 2 months and had forgotten how much I love this style. Clio is a bit underrated here and I hope more people can order this style as she holds an incredible amount for the size, and not look bulky at all. The wider straps (extra) are comfortable.

I LOVE this bag!

Thank you! I love green bags and am stoked that Marco has some fantastic green leathers. Eden green nappa is a different shade under different lightings. I just took a photo of it under the sun, it’s a bit like your green ray nappa bag directly under the sun, maybe a touch darker.

Thank you! Clio also works wonderfully with different leathers. I had an amber Verona Clio before and Verona suits the style very well.

This green is beautiful! Almost like an emerald green.

I have always been attracted to Alexia Midi....

I know it works well in Croco and Vacchetta...
I'd so love to know how well it keeps it's shape well in softer leathers!

Do any of you have (or have had) an Alexia Midi in Pebbled or Nappa or Merinos?
I have a midi Alexia in eggplant shimmer pompei and it is gorgeous. I also have a Prussian blue croc midi Alexia. They are both great bags. Having said that as I mentioned about the Little Muse you can choose any leather because Marco uses the correct backing for a structured bag. I would never hesitate to ask him about a leather working on a structured style like the midi Alexia. I bet it would be great in just about any leather.
 
I have 3 Little Muse bags. One in everose pompei, one in acid green nappa and one in sapphire blue merino. They all hold their shape really well because Marco puts in the backing to ensure that it maintains it shape. Having said that all 3 leathers are very different. Pompei is definitely the stiffest leather out of the 3. I like all 3 of them but my favorite is the nappa leather Little Muse.
Here are photos of all 3. The sapphire merino Little Muse I bought from a lovely tpf lady off the MM BST. She had never used it and I am using her photograph of the bag.
Photo 1 is the sapphire blue merino Little Muse
Photo 2 is the Acid nappa Little Muse
Photo 3 is the everose pompei Little MuseView attachment 5029381View attachment 5029382View attachment 5029383
If he made Merinos stay structured he can do it with ANY leather. Merinos quickly becomes a puddle, lol. it is a gorgeous, lightweight leather though.
