Placed an order for my first two bags last week, but strongly considering also getting a Juliet Midi with this sale. The citrus Tuscania Juliet Midi I've seen in this thread is really, really tempting, especially for the summer! Anyone know how comfortably an 11" iPad Pro can fit in it? (The height listed on the site looks just slightly under the width of the iPad Pro.)

I have that very citrus juliet midi you speak of! It does fit an iPad Air 2 (so smaller than 11 pro I think?) and I would not recommend transporting an iPad in this bag. Since there is no backing, the leather gets pulled on quite a bit by the weight of a tablet.

I am wanting another midi Sabrina. I had one in cameo rose merino with light gunmetal hw that my neighbor asked me if she could buy for her daughters birthday. So I replaced it with an Angelica in cameo rose merino which I love. I recently bought a black merino midi sabrina with gunmetal hw. I really love the midi Sabrina style. I keep looking at @southernbelle43 orange midi Sabrina. I know I want something in a brighter color leather. This is the excuse I need to buy myself another midi Sabrina. Now to decide on the leather!!

UPS came early, really early for here, with my white box. A dark blue Tuscania Selene midi with silver hardware and silver lining and a Penelope in lime green Verona.
Not the best photo but I am not the best photographer either. As always the color on the Penelope is not true to life. The photo makes it look more yellow than it is.

I ordered a Lime green Penelope with long trap too! So pretty. But now I am worried cos just checked about the shipment and Marco said "your Irish blue penelope...".

What if he made a mistake and the leather is already out of stock? I definitely do not want a Irish blue.

It's an INCREDIBLY beautiful bag! Good to know about the lack of backing though! How's the bag held up for you otherwise?

It’s doing well! As I reported pretty much from the beginning, citrus Tuscania out of all the leathers I’ve ever tried with Marco is by far the most vulnerable to color transfer. I learned to make peace with it, but the back of this bag definitely bears witness to me being partial to blue and black denim :D. So if that sort of issue bothers you a lot, it is something to think about!

I really should have told you that when it came the leather felt and looked more dry than Tuscania usually does. So I had conditioned it heavily with Cadillac conditioner. It had not fully absorbed, so it looks darker than it will tomorrow. I will repost a photo of it in the sunlight so you can see the true color.

Have never heard of Irish Blue....
Hang on, I have an Iris Blue Penelope on order, maybe he has got our orders mixed up?

Love both of them! The Selene is so gorgeous, I have a Little Minerva coming in midnight tuscania and hope it looks as pretty as yours. How do you like the lime verona?

Thank you for humoring all my questions! :biggrin: Really glad to hear it's doing well, and the color transfer is definitely a point of consideration for me!

Does anyone has Nappa orange or burnt orange for comparison? Appreciate IRL picture in natural light. I saw a mini Zhoe nappa orange that looks terracotta, rather than bright orange. Not sure if it is my eyes or just the computer screen.

TIA!

You can always ask Marco for comparison photos in various lights,- he takes good ones. And he can include a leather you already own in the photo.
