I did not know it did not have one When I ordered mine yesterday. But it is so small I would not want to cinch it anyway.

My tan Theia in this leather has not seen enough action to scratch. I am really looking forward to the patina!
What a great bag, which will only get better and better with time!
I have two items in this leather- a Phoebe in ginger, and a Penelope messenger in pirate red.
The ginger picks up scratches extremely easily. It is a couple of years old now, has been carried a decent amount, and conditioned a few times. It is already starting to develop a lovely patina.
The pirate red is more resistant to scratch marks, and I’m not seeing any changes to the colour (it has been carried much less though). So as others have said, it does seem to vary with colour.
It is a beautiful leather, really great for casual bags IMO, but yeah, not for those bothered by marks…
I love the way the scratches sort of disappear and become part of the leather "pattern."What a great bag, which will only get better and better with time!

A Little Athena Shoulder Bag in amethyst pompei has been on my wish-list for a while, but magenta is a color I would love, too.
Miss M has also become one of my favorite styles. I also think I'd like it in magenta. I'd probably carry the Miss M more.
Hmmm.

@anitalilac Here you go: I also have a Phoebe in Ginger Tuscano. It is a a beautiful color. Hope this helps.
My Little Miss M is the most perfect bag in my collection …the easy access, the weight, the structure, the strap length and comfort, the number of pockets (5), the leather. If I had to get rid of every bag except one, I would keep it. That is it in my avatar.
Yours is adorable! I have two full size Miss Ms. They are also the perfect bag for me. The skinny straps just really work for me even though I'd never look at that bag and think the straps would be as comfortable as they are. It's also the perfect size for me.
I'm leaning toward getting another Miss M. I have a Little Minerva, and I feel like it is a bit small for me some of the time. I tend to like to carry larger tote bags. I think the Little Athena shoulder bag might be a tad small, even though I really like that style.
Honestly, I want both.
I sold some bags recently and have several more that I should sell, too. Maybe I should get rid of some more of the ones that I don't really use and get both the Little Minerva and the Miss M.
I have wanted a little miss M forever. My initial concern were the straps being really thin that they would not be comfortable. I saw a little miss M with rolled handles and I was thinking that change would be what I would do if I ordered a little Miss M. These new fall colors are pretty tempting might just break down and order one.
