Bordeaux was always brown in person and Burgundy in photos. Midnight was indeed darker before, I suspect...but I'll know for sure when I get my next box!

This is super amazing! And like someone said, what a great way to catalog Massaccesi leather...if you haven't yet, you should add this photo to the Massaccesi Reference Thread. Love these!
Gasp! That Violet! Holding my breath for a new leather batch in as close a color match as possible.A mod shot of a Minerva midi for @Kimbashop since we are height twins, and a car portrait of a deep violet merinos Penny midi that I was able to snatch from Marco’s samples after that beautiful leather went away for good.

Marco said he will talk to the tannery tomorrow! He is the bestGasp! That Violet! Holding my breath for a new leather batch in as close a color match as possible.
OMG OMG I will think long and hard tonight about what style I want should Marco be able to work his magic and get that colour backMarco said he will talk to the tannery tomorrow! He is the best. I am not holding my hopes up, since last time they said they couldn't do it, but we can still dream

Both are beautiful. Isn’t midnight unique. I love mine.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.

Thanks for this! I do appreciate the height to bag ratio. It helps to see what the midi looks like. It looks fab on you. Such a fun and carefree bag even though I imagine it’s also a workhorse. And that violet makes me swoon.A mod shot of a Minerva midi for @Kimbashop since we are height twins, and a car portrait of a deep violet merinos Penny midi that I was able to snatch from Marco’s samples after that beautiful leather went away for good.

So unique, I'm obsessed with the veins/distressing! Hopefully Marco would be able to release additional colours in the future. Loving the whiskey too.Both are beautiful. Isn’t midnight unique. I love mine.
Just came across this Minerva. My dream MM leather + my dream MM bagHow could I have overlooked the Minerva? Got one in the violet merino and it's so comfortable. Also got the angel in port merino, not shownView attachment 3505251
Wouldn’t be surprised. Most people I know that love purple really LOVES the colour! The more saturated the better.@afroken @Kimbashop, I honestly wonder if there is a genetic component to loving purple, kind of like aversion to cilantro is genetic. Other colors people enjoy, but us purple lovers LOVE purple![]()
