+1 @TotinScience I would love to order a bag in violet merino. Bu the time I discovered MM, he was out of that leather.Count me inAlways on the hunt for a good purple. In fact I regret not getting a Little Minerva (my MM dream bag) in the purple velvet verona when I had the chance....
I remember that violet colour, and how popular it was. On the subject, port merinos has also changed over time, when I placed my last order Marco confirmed it is now more red toned than the original. Luckily that was just the colour I wanted.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.
I wonder if we will get some new designs..?
OK Ludmilla, pleas stop posting these drop dead gorgeous bags, like this Theia. I have sold three bags and gifted two to get my bag count below 20 which is where I am comfortable. Then you have to post this, shame on you.I took a comparison pic with forest green Aphrodite, too.

Stunning colour and bag. Thank you so much for posting the photos! I've asked Marco to include a swatch of this colour in my next shipment, I'm tempted to get something in thisHere you go:

The Little Minerva is reminiscent of my Mulberry Alexa and Proenza Schouler PS1 - it has the same retro messenger style, flap bag feel. It has enough organization, and fits a lot without looking bulky or boxy. It is softly structured (I guess that's dependent on which leather you choose). I have one in dark green nappa and it's perfect. My tuscania one is a touch softer, but still keeps its shape.@afroken, would love to know what makes little Minerva your dream bag. I don’t own one but people rave about it. I have thought about ordering either a mini or a midi.

I have added longer front flap and back slip pocket for both of my Little Minervas, and am extremely happy with the result. If I were to only keep one style from Marco, it would be the Little Minerva, no hesitation.
Some ladies here (I forget whom) recommended that I choose the Midi Minerva if I wanted a mid sized bag, but I think the Little is plenty enough and fits as much as a mid sized bag.
I'll PM you a modshot for reference.
