Dark green vacchetta on a Valerie is gorgeous. This is the one I had in original Vacchetta.
Great to know. This leather has been on my list for a while and when he mentioned he still had that sample bag...how could I not get it. The new vacchetta is going to be a staple so I have time to try that later.
I’ll be sure to ask Marco if there are any plans to get purple handmade vacchetta 
In terms of weight, Marco said handmade vacchetta is heavier than Verona and a bit lighter than Pebbled.

I think I am going for a Theia Midi... 
I want a bag without corners... And a bag where I do not need to concern myself with how structured/how stiff backing I want. A bag where I can learn about this new leather
I was wondering about Hera, but I sort of find it hard to believe that any leather can match Verona for Hera.
My issue with Theias has been the half-circle ridge. It actually looks great in ultrathin Tuscania, but I have never liked the look of it in thicker leathers. Too much visible edge paint for my taste...
Marco has said he can sew the half-circle in a different way, with a flat seam
Thought I'd let you all know, in case anyone else is interested in this solution.

I will save you. He is replacing the old vacchetta with this new one. So it will be there later when you want it.Me too, this promo is extremely tempting. It’s very difficult for me to justify another bag purchase since I just received my package from Marco this morning!
I would love to have a Calista in this leather, but I just received my third Calista this morning
Someone please save me from this dilemma….
Did that work????
Or you can eliminate the circle completely.I think I am going for a Theia Midi...

Yes, I considered that
.But from many photos I get the impression that this somehow alters the "anatomy" and "biomechanics" of the bag, probably because it slightly reduces the amount of leather on the front panel?
So I was thrilled when Marco said he can sew it in a different way. It will be very interesting to see the result!
If I don't like it, I can always wear the bag "back-to-front"
Little Muse or Little Valerie would be great in this leather.Ah, more good ideas! Had not thought of Little Muse for this leather. Or Little Valerie. Thank you
I would ask him if there is a possibility of a purple.If I didn't already have the little Val in red, I would probably choose that.
Do you think he would consider making a purple handmade vacchetta?
Oh dear, I love the look of Handmade Vacchetta. Especially Rust Brown.
But don't know what bag...
I need ideas and inspiration!
Please, girls,- share your ideas / orders
Clio looks like the perfect bag for this kind of leather imo.
I bet what he does will be perfect.Yes, I considered that

Anthracite looks great! Any dark colours reflecting a touch of blue is right up my alley. I like the zip modification too. I suppose you cannot cinch it then?
Hi all! I am enjoying all your beautiful new bags. So much eye candy! You ladies know how to customize.Ok, yes I need to develop more patience because the next long term residence is the international receiving place in NY.
OK, I vented. I feel a little better now.
One of my parcels back in Feb was stuck at Milan side with no movement for 10 days. I opted for the cheaper priced option too.
Well, at least this is not a typical promo-leather, it should be available for a long time
This is going to replace the old Vachetta, right? I'm glad I currently have a dark green Vachetta bag on order, I have always obsessed over that particular shade of green since I saw @southernbelle43's Valerie. I can always get this new Vachetta in future, though the prices are much higher than bags in other leathers listed on the website. Anyone knows if the new Vachetta pricing is similar to old Vachetta's?

Actually that flap is still 1 layer of leather. I initially thought it was another layer on top of the full piece on front panel, until I got my first Theia recently. I do agree that removing it might change the way it slouches when carried, since the half moon stitching provides a little stability to the front panel. It's a good option to keep it. It gives you 2 looks in one bag too. Very intrigued by the result of a different way to sew that part, do share when you receive it!
