I am with you of course, lol.It is truly fascinating how different tastes we all have.
My 2 favourite leathers are actually Verona and Tuscania.
And to me, the most jawdroppingly gorgeous and elegant leather in the whole world is Black Verona

I just placed an order for 2 bags and a SLG last week. Rua Angelica will be in the new Tan Handmade Vachetta. I think it would look nice with the Camel lambskin. Not sure how much weight it would add. Or, how late you are allowed to make changes to your order. I'm already like a kid in a candy shop!

I thought I was good to be able to resist temptation during the Handmade Vacchetta promo. But now with this lambskin…..it’s so hard to resist! I am still debating as I cannot decide on a bag within such a short time.
Ask Marco if he has started on your bag. If not, he will gladly make changes for you.I just placed an order for 2 bags and a SLG last week. Rua Angelica will be in the new Tan Handmade Vachetta.

Yes! The bag has really changed over time -- part of the fun of veggie-tanned leather.
Dear @afroken, thank you so much for convincing me to order a Bluette Verona Calista Midi with 2 inch extended strap drop 
It is perfect! I love it
Actually, Calista Midi works far better for Verona than the full sized Calista
.
I now believe that for thicker leathers, go Midi (with 2 inch extended strap drop
).
But for thin, soft, drapey leathers (like Tuscania, Merinos or Diamond), go full size
.

That is very interesting! So that is why I felt it was similar to pebbled leather, just the graining looked to have more variation. It is nice and will wear tough, but I like a more of a natural smell and feel to leather as well.

Oh, lovely to hear this. Any photo to share?
I am debating if I should order a Calista / Calista Midi in the lambskin (both exterior & interior lining), but cannot decide on the size & colors yet
It’s getting stressful now that the ‘special price’ offer is only for one day, I really cannot decide yet……help… I feel bad to have to say “no” to Marco after asking for his quotes. What should I do?
Don’t feel bad. I ask for quotes, but do not always buy. He understands.Oh, lovely to hear this. Any photo to share?

You made me wonder how delicate lambskin is that is specifically designed for a lining. It might be much thinner than lamb used for an exterior.Oh, lovely to hear this. Any photo to share?

In the newsletter it’s mentioned:
“Our lamb leather can obviously also be used to produce any soft MM style when it's important to reduce weight at minimum.”
So I asked Marco & he said:
“Lambskin would be perfect to create a very light and soft Calista (any size) and we can use lambskin for both exterior and interior side of the bag.”
I would love to have a very slouchy Calista style, that’s why I am considering this option. I also like many colors of this lining lambskin. Maybe I need to think a bit longer, no need to hurry into buying another bag. I have already bought more than 5 bags from Marco in less than 12 months and they are still almost brand new, since the world has changed so much
I can’t wait to get back to normal life again, so that I can start enjoying all my new MM bags.
Well now you have done it. You made think of how lovely a lamb bag would be in one of those colors. Shame on you.In the newsletter it’s mentioned:

Not to be an enabler, but the lamb lining is very close to same color as that original purple leather he had 4-5 years ago that everyone wished they had bought before it went away forever!! I cannot remember which leather though.
Judging from the "swirly" photos of the lambskin, it is very sift and pliable. And thin. I would therefor definitely recommend full sized CalistaOh, lovely to hear this. Any photo to share?
