What is the lovely bag next to the Soulmate? The style is not ringing a bell....Sorry for a late reply! Here is my Soulmate again! The reason it was colorblocked was because the 2 leathers it is made of matched my wedding dress PERFECTLY (iced berry and iced taupe Africas, now extinct). I wasn't on the market for a lighter bag, but if I were to colorblock a Soulmate again, making the "wings" darker and the body of the bag lighter would be a more striking choice IMO. I love that bag though, although I don't carry it often because it is quite heavy.

It’s a wonderful calypso that for some reason is not on the website! I wrote a review for the blog awhile ago. This bag now has a new home, as yours truly has too many blue bags, but honestly it’s such a lovely style! I imagine Marco can easily make it even though it’s not online, same as Tulipano which was all the rage a couple of years ago!
I LOVE this bag with your outfit. The color just pops against your other colors and it looks really cute with your blouse and cardi.Yes, it is! And actually, when I went to measure the pocket, I realized that there are 2 open pockets inside, not just 1. They look to be identical in size and are just a little over 5.5 inches long. Though I don’t have a tube of lip balm that’s 3.75”, I tried inserting a sample sized toothpaste (actually about 4” long) and it fit in the pocket just fine.
I’ve attached pics of the interior to show both pockets, empty and with tube of toothpaste, and a modeling pic as well, to give another perspective of the size. I’m 5’6”.
**ETA I asked Marco to shorten the strap by a few inches. It’s a smidge shorter than what I’d consider ideal for me but not enough to order another strap

Yes, I love that tweed bag. Thank you!That was my red-blue tweed Siena Midi.
I’m scrolling quickly through this thread to catch up. I see you’re trying to colorblock a bag with the Glamour leather. I can try to help you with that.
Thank you for the photo. I think I see what you are saying about having the sides darker. I will keep that in mind if I go with this bag.Sorry for a late reply! Here is my Soulmate again!

I bet your dress was gorgeous! I love those colors
I'm not sold on colorblocking, but was hoping to have something striking and different, like your tweed bag. The photo Marco sent of pink glamour with the pastels just called to me, but it might have been the amethyst in there because the blue one fell flat. I usually do not like light colors for bags but I am just drawn to these colors so I figured why not try to go outside of my comfort zone.
I prefer larger bags. I have a regular sized Siena and it is a little big for everyday but great for outings...kid, hubby stuff needs to be hauled
Plus my laptop fits in it for work so I don't have to lug that ugly computer tote around. The Siena and the Astra satchel are more my speed for styles of bags I like. Usually I do not go for bags that collapse but seeing photos of the soft squishy Soulmates pulled me in a little. Sorry for going on and on!I just finalized an order for a colorblock Astra satchel after I saw your pictures. Loved the Paloma grey with the blue glamour but I have multiple blue bags so I went with bottom,sides,and straps in the Paloma with the silver glamour for a dressy neutral. Your bag would be beautiful with pink glamour with darker trim.
Just bought a bunch of organisation boxes for the bags in my wardrobe. And there are still 8 more bags that I can't fit in here! Anyone else has a problem with storage space?
Are you kidding me? Yes, of course bag storage is an ongoing struggle!
I absolutely love your clear boxes so that you can easily see what you have rather than the cloth dust bags that all look alike!
Do you mind telling me where you got those? I assume the hole in them will keep the bags from damage from being sealed up in plastic?
Anybody noticed this website before?

Are the bags copies or the real thing?
Leather options are consistent with Marco's Nappa...
Little Muse Hadbag - Massaccesi - Italy World
Little Muse is a perfect and dynamic lightweight bag, devoted to your refined sensibilities! The subtle curve of her inverted sides possess a whispering elegance. Double top straps are divine handheld or on the arm. A long strap, which may be detached, is ideal for shoulder and crossbody wear...

It all looks real! And the lead time is the same. I hope someone has picked him up. Wouldn’t that be marvelous. I want him to be successful. He deserves It.Anybody noticed this website before?

it is him. If you go to the web site and click on handbags it has all of his bags.
Wow, what a cutie bag! And, I love the side zips on your Soulmate Midi!
I also was going to ask where you got these boxes!
Agree! This is awesome if someone has picked him up!
So, I just came back from my first plane trip since 2019 and I chose this Juliet as my personal item on the plane. The handles, the exterior pockets, and the inside slip pockets were super useful. I could even fit both the Juliet and a medium backpack underneath the seat in front of me. I'd say the only downside is that the handles get slightly smooshed when it's under the seat, but not horribly. And when you fit it with the long way facing you (which makes something in the exterior pocket sooo accessible), the handles make it easy to grab. I would definitely bring on another trip.
Inside my Juliet was this Flor Penelope that I then pulled out to use at a wedding. (Yes @TotinScience, isn't Penelope such a great size?!!). I had asked Marco to add two D rings and then I added a chain strap from one of my Floras. Love the two interior slip pockets; one held my phone and the other cash and cards. The inside held a lip gloss, emergency concealer haha, a bug off wipe (outdoor wedding), mints, Tylenol, and even sunglasses!
I can't wait to see yours. I'm still deciding but maybe I need to just pull the trigger.
I bought them from the China platform Taobao. They have consolidated shopping to my country, they also ship to US/Canada, but the language would be the main barrier when shopping. You might be able to find something similar by image search on Google?
They're all open except for the tall one with doors. The hole is actually the door handle! I plan to remove the door actually, so that the bags can breathe.
For those who do shop on Taobao, here's where I bought mine. There are 3 types because I was trying to maximize the space I have.
