Now that I think about it I copied someone’s else’s longer handles and slip pockets. It has been several years since I bought this one. It is one of my oldest bags.

Yes, I'd advise double-checking with Marco for the handle drop you want on the Juliet Midi. The pictures on the website show the lower profile handles but the description says 4" drop. My very first Juliet Midi (in turquoise pebbled), which I know was one of the very first ones produced, had the higher handle drop. But a later Juliet Midi (in brown deerskin) had the lower one because someone had requested lower profile handles and that was the current template at the time. I actually like both. For use, the higher ones are more functional, but the lower ones make the bag look cuter and more compact, plus I can kind of squish my small hands into them if I really wanted. I'm not sure what the standard template is now so that's why it's best that whoever orders specify exactly what they want.
Who wants to play what to order next with me?
I ready need a Vachetta promo next I’m obsessed LOL
These are the bags I have planned in my head.
I already have: Vachetta Angelica, port merinos soulmate Midi, caramel merinos Hera Midi, taupe velvet Verona angel midi, and a dark taupe Vachetta Victoria midi.
I really want a black Mia for a classy dressier bag. Thinking either black Vachetta or nappa?
And I want a mini Zhoe or aura for a dressier warm toned bag. Maybe metallic platinum or gold?
What do y’all think the best leathers are for these bags I have in mind? I tend to like the structured bags in structured leathers and drapey styles in drapey leathers but wanna hear from the crowd as I’ve only had my hands on Vachetta and merinos so far!
Angelica Rua (Vachetta - probably Black)
Daphne (Vachetta or Cuoio) maybe dark green
Juliet Midi (Fiore - probably anthracite)
Selene (Fiore or Merinos)
Mia (Black Vachetta?)
Mini Zhoe (metallic light gold)
Diva (merinos or velvet Verona probably black?)

For a dressier bag you cannot beat black nappa!
Great advise. The shorter handles are more esthetic, but I have big hands and can hardly use them.
Carried my Juliet midi in dark blue Vachetta today, with a handle drop of 3.5"/ 9cm. Despite the measurements on the website, the product shot somehow appears to be a larger bag than it actually is. I was a little surprised when I first received it, it is a cuter bag than I was expecting.
Oh my gosh this is so cute on you! I love the contrast stitching you did. I'm obsessed with the vachetta leathers right now - I think Juliet looks fab in vachetta too so now I might have to do that instead! LOL. Love it so much and I keep going back and forth on whether I should do a midi or full Juliet. I typically prefer Marco's midi sizes but the Juliet has me on the fence. Sometimes the midi seems small but sometimes the full seems huge I can't get a good feel LOL. Here on you the midi looks like the perfect size! Adorable.
I LOVE the old vachetta! Have not tried the new one but I expect it to be just as lovely. I have a Vachetta Daphne and I really feel that is the perfect leather for Daphne.
The next bag I am thinking of getting would be an Iride in a dressy leather. Maybe the Stardust if Marco has any left, or if he has a special limited edition leather in future. I don't see many Irides here which is befuddling to me, considering its price point compared to other styles. But I myself have overlooked the Iride so many times, given its placement near the bottom of the website.

Mine has both contrast stitching and contrast edge paint. I am a firmly "midi sized for everything" MM customer and even I thought at first that Juliet midi is a little small. But it's actually fine since it has sufficient depth. I can fit quite alot in its boxy shape. It is a casual bag though, since it looks so small and cute.
Great insight thank you! I'm leaning back towards the midi again! And the vachetta too! Thank you for sharing your photo!
Oh wow the Iride is so cute and I totally did overlook it at the end of the website there! I know I want a Mia in black but I also want another smaller dressier bag in a warm tone. I am now torn between - Flora, Phoebe, Aura, Mini Zhoe and now I'm throwing the Iride in there! Lol. Oooo stardust sounds pretty I have no idea what it is but the name sounds like something similar to what I'm looking for!

You can search this thread for pictures of Stardust. I'm sharing a gif of it because I think it's best appreciated while in motion. It was a limited edition leather offered some time back. It doesn't at all feel dusty/ rough/ prickly despite how it looks. I actually use this Sabrina Midi as my casual weekend bag, even though it's 'sparkly'. The colour and style makes it casual, but in another style it can look dressy.
*Edit to add: Unfortunately, the gif doesn't seem to animate.
Sharing the video link with you via PM, hope it works there.

I’m thinking of an Iride next as well. If he has any black croc still in stock when i order I’ll get that with black hardware. Otherwise I’ll go with black nappa and black hardware.
I meant to say advice, not advise. My typing is always ahead of my brain.
My full-sized Bouquet tote in Ginger Cuoio Toscano arrived today. It has dark gunmetal hardware and marine lining. I am in love with this color. It is the perfect terra cotta shade. This is my first bag in the Cuoio Toscano. It's a thick, chewy leather. I will definitely be ordering this leather again.
I love tote bags. This is a bit more north-south than what I usually go for, but it is very comfortable on the shoulder. I got the strap drop customized at 26 cm, which I have decided is the perfect length for me.
