I got my last order from Marco in record time - arrived 2.5 weeks after ordering.

I'm so glad that I decided on a re-do of Mint Verona in a Hera before this leather was gone for good. I love Mint so much. I can't ever get this color to photograph accurately, it's more minty in person. The lilac lambskin lining is really fabulous. :girlsigh:

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the Mint Verona and the lining you selected is stunning. I love your new bag. Enjoy.

Wow this is stunning, the soft mint shade looks perfect against the gentle folds on a Hera. That lining is perfect against the mint too. Lambskin lining is an amazing upgrade, I cannot shout that loud enough. We are so spoiled to have 21 shades of those to choose from.

Thank you! I really love lambskin lining, it's so luxurious. This is my 2nd bag with lambskin and I'm glad it's an option because I don't really like the feel of the regular lining.

Hera is one of my most favorite MM styles, and this one is fabulous. Very pretty color combination.

Hera Midi has become my favourite MM style too! How do people like to wear their full sized/ midi Heras? With the top part flat and straight, or slouching down like in MM's lookbook? I can't decide... I used to prefer the slouching down look, but somehow the Verona is a little thicker and seems to suit the straight look more.

First trip out with my new Hera Midi! Still obsessing over the beige lambskin lining. I want to keep touching it, but am so afraid of dirtying it.

I’ve only worn my Heras slouchy at the top, but yours looks nice! Is your top straight across because of a zipper?

No, there isn't a zip. Somehow it doesn't slouch well at the top, it feels stiff and looks very forced. I have 2 hypotheses:
1) Thickness of Verona
2) The way the handle attachment is joined to the bag to avoid the leather pull that I mentioned in my reveal on the previous page

I have a Hera with a top zipper in Nappa and the top is straight across due to the top zipper.
As for Verona, I have many bags in Verona and most of them slouch across the zipper but I don't have a Hera Midi, and I think it would be more due to the style of Hera Midi that makes the top part straight.
I do have a Verona in Tulipano though where Marco kept the leather very thick and it was able to keep the stiff structure.
So for a firmer structured look, I think it would be possible for most leathers if you ask Marco.
Also, the picture with the model from MM's lookbook is a Hera in Merinos, so the larger size with only one magnetic closure and Merinos leather both make it more slouchy at the top

Judging from the photos of your Hera and @piosavsfan's Verona Hera, I believe that Marco has recently started adding some backing to the top of the bag. And that this prevents the top slouch.

Hmm...
This will suit me fine, I prefer the top not to slouch on Hera :biggrin:

For those who want top slouch, I guess one could request "no extra backing along top edge" ? Maybe using one of these photos to show which backing one is referring to.

I had to pull out my Hera in Verona and check. It does slouch in the middle. Maybe it does have something to do with the attachment or maybe the midi slouches less.

I actually asked Marco about the stiffness at the top because I wanted more slouch and he said it's just the thickness of the leather that makes it more stiff since the leather is double the thickness at the top. It's the same for all of my Hera's with or without the different attachment. My Purple Velvet Verona slouches the least and my Mint Verona the most. They are all magnet closure. I actually prefer the straight across look for this bag now.
