Anyone buy anything with the last of the Verona? I got a Mint Verona Hera with Lilac lambskin lining to replace another Mint Verona bag that I'm not loving. I'm so glad he had some Mint Verona left because I adore this color.
Someone in the Vintage Coach thread prompted me go through my vintage bags this weekend and take some photos. That lead to some purse-room and closet reorganization. I am too afraid to count, but I think I have about 200 purses if you include my rehab pile and my briefcases. (!!!!!!). Anyway, I took pictures of a bunch of my bags, including my bags from Marco and posted about how I stopped buying Coach and mass produced bags after I found Marco. Marco's vacchetta especially reminds me of the vintage bags I love so much.
I thought I'd share my post about Marco and my photos of my Massaccesi bags here, too. My insta is https://www.instagram.com/jennswartz01/

I love your vintage Coach handbags. They remind me of my mother's collection. I kept three of her bags, all of them "handcrafted in the United States", making them even more special to me. I especially love your Bonnie Cashin totes with the clasp pockets---beautiful.
Here is a better photo of my MIL’s straw Little Selene with bamboo handles:
I am also getting a bag in mint Verona--a midi Diva with lambskin lining and a contrasting edge paint. The color was just too gorgeous to pass up!
Which lambskin lining did you pick? What color are you doing for edge paint?
Another handbag came in the white box, too. Some of you know that vacchetta is my all-time favorite Massaccesi leather, so of course I had to order something in the handmade vacchetta that was recently offered.
As soon as I saw the handmade vacchetta, I asked Marco if he could procure something for me that would be perfect with this leather on a summer bag. I had never before asked for something that he does not have in his inventory, but I thought my request was a pretty good "first-time" request. So, here is Little Selene in red cherry handmade vacchetta leather, light gunmetal hardware, and purple lining. The leather is absolutely exquisite.

This is incredible! That shade of red is amazing, it goes so well with the bamboo handles. I was not drawn to the Little Selene at first because I thought the straps look a little odd on such a small bag, but now I want one exactly like yours.
I think it will look good. That attachment on the Daphne is one of my favourite aspect on that bag.
Thanks for sharing, I love all your Coach bags. I was most drawn to the calf hair Phoebe, that colour and texture is so unique.
The Mint Verona is super pretty, I would have ordered it if I can carry it off. Pastels do not go well with my skin tone. I ordered a Midi Hera in Bluette Verona with Beige lambskin lining. It just shipped today and I'm so eager for it to arrive!
Mid Summer Special promo! I just saw the e-mail. July 13-14. Free bamboo handles, free lambskin lining, and free rose gold hardware! Bamboo handles though is limited to certain styles and there is a minimum of 250 euro. Details here:
I am loving the bamboo handles...and wow, I think the rose gold must be a new hardware addition option?

Wow, what an amazing deal! Lambskin lining, bamboo handles, rose gold hardware - basically everything new and exciting thrown in to this special!!
I have a space problem, I need to sell more in order to buy more. Told myself the Verona last call will be my final bag till I sell some, but this special is killing my resolve.
I'm so excited about Marco's sale! I'm selling a bunch of purses right now that I don't use. I'm definitely going to use the proceeds to buy a new bag from Marco. I really want something with bamboo handles and lambskin lining. Something that is lux but edgy. I cannot wait to design this.
I really want something edgy and unique for this bag. I had some ideas and got recommendations from Marco. I'm going with a Little Selene Zip in hot pink pebbled leather with dark gunmetal hardware.
I'm doing mint lambskin because I like my interior to be a pop of color that contrasts with the leather.
I was thinking about contrast edge-paint or contrast stitching. Marco suggested dark around edge paint to go with the bamboo handles and contrast stitching in dark brown.
My birthday is next week. This is definitely a treatyoself bag.
