Love your enthusiasm and your changes to the bag. If I ordered Astra again, I would probably go with Nappa or Fiore.
Does the Angelica fit a laptop (a MacbookPro 13")? I have been debating between Muse and Angelica and am unsure of size.
Would everyone who has Bordeaux or midnight tuscania post a pic that features the tone of the hardware against the leather? I'm totally unable to choose hardware on my 3rd and 4th Astras and I even have bags work two of the three I'm considering (gold and dark gunmetal). But I'm thinking silver could be nice on Bordeaux.... But gold and dark gunmetal would be nice too! I think I'm going for gold for midnight but silver is not out of the question!
Either gold or silver looks great with midnight. I chose silver to complement my silver lining. But I always prefer silver over gold, lol. I will post a photo tomorrow; it is dark here Now.
@coach943, welcome to the anthracite pebbled Selene family haha! I love how we all have similar, yet different choices; it speaks to the versatility and personality Marco helps us express. You and @Kimbashop inspired me to pull out my Selene. I also am testing out my Penelope Messenger tomorrow that I hardly use...I will see how it goes but it might be that I will be deciding on either keeping the Penny M for my daughters one day or letting her go. I tend to reach for bags that are a bit bigger...
Here is silver with midnight Tuscania! However, I have a Juliet in midnight blue Tuscania on order and I did choose light gunmetal for that one. Just for a slightly darker shade of metal.

Ill make a photo for you with all 4 metals on the midnight blue once the light becomes better here. In my experience, bordeaux looks fantastic with light gunmetal!
@BagsAndCarbs, here it is - still not the best shot, as it is overcast here! The smallest clip is light gunmetal. I applied a vivid cool filter because otherwise colors read a lot warmer than they are in real life 
I'm going to get gold with midnight but I am torn on the Bordeaux. Light gunmetal is out but the other 3 are all compelling. I'm thinking gold would dress up the bag more and silver would be lovely too, but dark gunmetal i already have in my nut nappa Astra. But it looks so good.
Oh and I wear only gold jewelry. It's the tone that my skin needs. But I'm flexible on a bag and think Marco's pale silver is nice. I just don't like silver that's anywhere near grey.
I do have several shoes and belts with touches of silver hardware aaaand I wear them with my gold jewelry because my gold jewelry is mostly right up around my face and buried in a mane of hair most of the time and not very loud. So I guess silver coordinates better with my fashion but gold with my jewelry. So either one. Or then the dark gunmetal is so cool and I wear a lot of black so it coordinates great with black. But I have that already and since I'm going to have 4 Astras I want them to look as different as possible. So maybe silver? Argghhh!!!

Am I the only person who has never ever thought about the hardware on a bag matching anything other than the bag, lol. I must have no fashion sense at all
I love my Anchor Grey Sheen Calista 
. I have never before owned or wanted a shiny leather, but love it in slouchy Calista
Not sure how to take care of it.
It seems very resiliant, but because I love it I feel a (maybe unecessary) need to protect it.
Do any of you have experience in using Bick 4 (or any other product) on Sheen / Athene?
