My Little Selene in Plum Pebbled leather with a back slip pocket that Marco customized to fit my phone perfectly. I have wanted a bag in this color for a long time, I am so happy with this Little Selene.

Hi, congratulations, I love this!!! did you get yours with the cinch closure ? I recently got a little Selene and my only disappointment was that it did not have the cinch closure which I had assumed it would have (since its on the regular and midi Selenes...)

I did not get the cinch closure. I've never really used it on my regular or midi Selenes, so I didn't even notice that it wasn't there. I do think if I get another little Selene that I'll do a zipper closure on it instead of the snap.

I love the size of this. Why is there always a new style right after I have bought the old one.:annoyed:

I just bought a midi Selene in Tuscania just before the little Selene came out. I loved the size of little Selene so I broke down and bought one. I bought a little selene in brown straw with bamboo handles.

When I looked at the pictures of little Selene in the online shop, it doesn’t show a cinch and I didn’t see it as an extra Option, perhaps Marco thinks it wouldn’t work well in this size. I’d be interested to hear if anyone did have a cinch version.

Caution: This is not for the squeamish - defined as those who are truly bothered by marks on leather, lol.
Here is what to expect from tan cuoio toscano leather. I personally love this type of leather; it weathers beautifully.

After a little Cadillac leather lotion:

Thanks for your post. I am fairly certain that you are careful with your bags & were not haphazardly slinging this bag around. :smile: So this is good to know. I have several bags in this leather, so now I will be extra careful with them. I think Marco mentioned that the darker colors will not show scratches as much? My bags are in Red, Navy & Dark Tan. The tan one can show scratches, but after several “deep massages” with Cadillac lotion, I was able to rub most of them out & they mostly are gone. The ones remaining do not bother me.

It is the nature of this leather. One of the most beautiful bags I have ever seen was in this light natural leather and had been used for several years. It had softened and was marked but it had a beautiful patina that made the marks “softer” and less obvious. I was determined to get one like that and use it long enough for it to develop this beauty. It is not for everyone though.

Love the look of your little Selene! Just curious - how strong is the snap closure? Is the reason you’d prefer a zipper on it because it won’t stay closed with the snap?

The snap closure is fairly strong. I've never really had an issue with the snap closures on Marco's bags staying snapped when I want them to. For the Little Selene, I think I'd like to have a zipper closure for added security because it is a smaller bag.

With the snap, I also feel like it really pinches the top of the bag together when it is closed, and aesthetically I think I'd like the zipper closure better because then the top wouldn't be pinched together as much when closed.

My little Selene does not have the cinch closure. Funny, I did not even notice that until you asked.
