I have not had any issues with the edge paint on any of mine... Just had a look and a feel.
The edge paint seems as flexible as the leather.
My Midnight Blue Tuscania I have owned for a year. My other Calistas are quite "young" ...
That’s good to know! I think my Calista was about six months old when I noticed small chunks of edge paint were gone. I’ve never seen that happen before to any of my other MM bags. I know this happened to someone else’s bags as well.....Calista and Demetra iirc. This was a few years ago. Marco did send me some edge paint, so I was able to patch it up. Maybe there were some batches of paint that were off back then, who knows. I just know I would love a Midnight Blue Calista.:heart:
 
Well, I really shouldn't have done this, so I blame you all. :flowers: I ordered my own pebbled anthracite Selene (regular) with light gunmetal hardware, zip top, outside flat pocket, and light pink lining, and the tan handmade vacchetta Ellen, with light blue lining and gold hw.

I just couldn't quit staring at that gorgeous anthracite color!
We will almost be bag twins. I love my marine lining, but I think I would get pink or fuchsia if I order the anthracite again. I love pink and grey together.

Here is what the zipper looks like, open and closed.
Thank you @Kimbashop! Wow, this is really lovely. And in these shots, the hardware doesn't look like dark gunmetal, maybe light gunmetal? But it could just be the reflection of the sun. Now I am thinking a zip Selene is in my future...

Yes, I think there was one season a few years back where a particular batch of edge paint had issues, but as far as I know, it hasn't happened since.

I too love Anthracite Pebbled.
Here is my family...

Mini Zhoe has a black shoulder strap and an anthracite cross-body strap
@Fancyfree, I love these! What is the contrasting leather? It matches so well!

I agree. I think I'm having a hard time perceiving the contrast level between the grey leather and the hardware tone. When I'm outside, the contrast level looks higher and the hardware is definitely bright.
