I had forgotten how much I love a big old tote for everyday use. The ones I have are heavy, so I gravitated to smaller, lighter bags. Then I got my lightweight :yahoo:Tuscania Selene midi. Do I carry much. NO. Do I have a lot of left over space in it day to day. YES Does this bother me. NO. I look in there and see that I can put whatever I need to or want to at any point in time. Not to mention that I can cinch it and it looks so much smaller. OK, I will stop boring you about this new bag.

Bags are never boring! Does it cinch up easily?

I just placed an order for a midi-Selene in anthracite pebbled, light gunmetal HW, back pocket, and marine lining. I have a lot of colorful totes so a nice neutral will be welcome in my collection and it will make a great fall carryall bag for my university teaching. This is my first bespoke midi-Selene. I have another preloved one in Celeste Athene that I use in the summer and love it.

Much better than in any other leather I have ever had in a Selene (verona and africa). As I posted earlier he added the lightweight lining only to the front and back, not the sides. So they fold in and cinch super easily. This gives it just enough structure to stand up, but still be soft enough for comfortable carrying. I have had some poorly designed bag modifications that were of my own making obviously, but I knocked it out of the park on this one, lol.

I had no idea this bag cinched up. It's definitely on my radar now if it can easily go from tote to shoulder bag like that!

@Kimbashop, we'll be bag sisters / cousins again! I have a Selene Zip Midi in anthracite pebbled! I chose dark gunmetal hw and light blue lining. One of my "permastash" bags, here is when "she" first arrived:

I love that bag! I like the dark gunmetal with the zip style. I will also be a bag sister / cousin soon. I ordered a Selene Midi in the anthracite pebbled a little while back. I went more minimalist with this one - silver hardware and no hardware on the strap. I went with light pink lining because I like a pop of contrasting color inside. I cannot wait for it to arrive.

So I am in mad love with softer Astra 2-way shoulder bag. I was gonna get a Bordeaux tuscania Astra and a midnight tuscania angelica in my next order. But now I am all about the Astra and I have so many E-W top handle handbags (in every size) rather much like the angelica and I have very few flap bags. Two Chanels and one dior .... one indie bag and now two Astras. I have 3 times that many top handle shopper/tote/satchel type bags. So I feel I should get only more Astras in the two chosen leathers Marco set aside for me of which I'm 110% needing a bag in, in my life, ASAP.

THEY WOULD LOOK AMAZING MONOCHROMATIC IN THOSE TUSCANIA LEATHERS. Oh my gosh. Yeah I think I just made up my mind typing that out. I love my orange tuscania angelica SO FREAKING MUCH but I think I'm just going to stick with collecting multiples in my new favorite holy grail of medium-sized flap bags, since I have a zillion wide open mouthed leather shoppers with handles, and flaps are very rare in my collection until Astra came along......
