I am becoming very impatient about my 3 Tuscania bags. And a little bit annoyed.
I know shipment to the US is much faster than to Norway, but my bags have not even been posted yet (so they are not even finished yet.)

I placed my Tuscania order 10th February, 2nd day of the promo.
@TotinScience received both her Tuscania Little Minerva and her clearance sale Penelope by 27th March!

Sorry, I am not usually this grumpy. Just needed to let off some steam

Not to be pedantic but it was a Minerva midi :D. Not that it changes anything, just more for reference of other lovely TPFers :flowers:. Sorry lady, I definitely didn't ask to jump the line at all! If anything, I actually asked Marco if it would be OK to combine shipments without affecting other ladies.

Sorry to hear that. I would’ve been impatient too if my order still hasn’t been shipped yet while many have already received their orders. I ordered on the last day of the promo so I’m surprised that I’ve received my order already while yours hasn’t been shipped out yet. It could be that you have a larger order, and that one bag had a mistake so they had to remake it, hence the delay. My first Little Minerva shipped out 2 months after I ordered because they forgot to add the requested modifications. I would reach out to Marco and inquire, hopefully your order will be shipped out soon :hugs:

P.S. I’ll PM you a modshot if the Little Minerva some time this week :smile:

My tuscania order has arrived! I ordered a Little Minerva and a Flora.

Little Minerva is in midnight blue tuscania, tortilla lining, light gunmetal hardware. Modifications include longer front flap and back slip pocket. This is a stunning colour! Prior to submitting my order I had gone back and forth on whether I should choose midnight blue or bordeaux, and I’m so glad I chose midnight. The photo shows the colour accurately. It weighs next to nothing despite this model being one of Marco’s heavier bags. I’m very, very happy with this bag.

Next up is Flora in bordeaux tuscania. It has taupe lining and dark gunmetal hardware. Modifications include an accessory strap rather than a wristlet strap (so that there’s a clip on both ends of the strap). The colour is more brown in person compared to most of the photos we see in the thread. Overall it’s just a difficult colour to pick up on camera (even my photo below shows it more burgundy than it is). It’s still a nice colour, and I’m glad I got something in it (just not a bigger piece). As with the tuscania Little Minerva, the distressing is lovely.

Extra note: the leather feels a bit dry as previous reviews have mentioned.

Dear @TotinScience, I did not mean to target you or accuse you,- I am so sorry! I used your bags as an example because you were the first (of several) to share your Tuscania from the promo.

Lesson to myself: Never write and publish when annoyed / grumpy !

And thinking about it, the order in which bags are made might depend on several factors.
Maybe it was most efficient to make all the blue bags in one go,- same thread, same edge paint, etc :idea:.

no apologies needed at all! I knew what you meant, just wanted to assure you as well that, just as you put it, the workshop probably operates not just on a first come/first serve basis, but probably with their own internal schedule of what is most efficient. Fingers crossed, your bags will arrive ASAP <3!

Wow, wow, wow! Do you have one in every MM leather and color? If not, you're pretty close. I love how you have them organized like the rainbow. :love:

I haven't gotten any new bracelets for more than a year, so I don't have any in the Africa, Fiore and Cuoio Toscano leather.
I find that I end up wearing the bracelets in colors that I like and some don't get worn.
Having green and yellow is a nice way to add some contrast if I'm wearing purple clothes.

LOVE them! Your Little Minerva is to die for.
And thank you for the warning about the Bordeaux colour,- glad to be prepared.

I took my bordeaux tuscania Flora out for a walk today and it is a chameleon. Under outdoor light it does look like my photo above, and in indoor light it looks a tad browner. Still a nice colour. Let me know what you think when you receive yours.

This special offer has a very bad timing ... just popping as I was ordering a Modena for my sister‘s friend.
I caved in. Just ordered a sacramento green Theia with sage lining. I really do not need another a bag, but I needed a lift me up. So, perhaps this offer has no bad timing after all. ;)

Hi Ludmilla, did you receive your sacramento green sheen theia yet? If so, can you please post a photo? I'm very curious about this colour and leather, and am considering ordering a Little Minerva in this. Thanks so much :flowers:

I am wondering,- is the current Midnight Blue Tuscania slightly lighter in colour than the previous, 2017 batch (available until early autumn 2020)?

I was actually wondering regarding @afroken's observation that her bordeaux baggie looks more brown than bags of yore in this leather. It is entirely possible the new batch is slightly different in color - sometimes the tanneries can't even produce the same shade anymore at all! Most famously, IMO, one of Marco's most BEAUTIFUL leathers was a deep violet merinos and tannery couldn't make it anymore once he ran out.

That deep violet merinos is the MM leather of my dreams :rolleyes: here’s wishing that Marco can get it again.
