My Minerva Midi in pearl grey pebbled has a top zipper closure and no middle compartment. The zipper does not alter the look of the bag. The zipper closure adds security, and like you said, an E-W bag needs it more than a N-S bag.

So...this is why I love discussion... @dramaprincess713 and @tenKrat, I don't think I've ever thought about E-W vs. N-S in terms of the necessity of zip closures! That kind of blows my mind...I just knew I need some bags with and without, especially related to the weather. Huh. So interesting!

Hi ladies! I've been off TPF for a good six months or more, but I'm back. Missed you guys! I resisted Marco's sales last year, but the current one has me itching. Sitting on my hands is not working! :sweatdrop::nuts: I am debating a Clio or a Bouquet midi in dark green or maybe tan, or maybe a Little Muse or Little Minerva. The red is also stunning - but I have several gorgeous red bags. But the red.... Argh! :panic::rolleyes::panic::lol: Now I need to see what you guys are getting. :graucho:

I'm trying very hard to resist this sale too. I simply cannot justify buying something every single sale! But if I were to order, the bag I want most will probably be a Little Selene just like the one that @tenKrat has here.

I went for a dark green Juliet midi! I think that leather looks so stunning!!! I also did a navy little miss m with rolled handles for arm carry and an Angelica in rust!

This is very nice! Velvet Verona is definitely on my radar. If you find the time - could you do a close-up of the leather texture, please?

Hi @Ludmilla, if it helps, here's a couple of closeup pics of my Deer Velvet Verona Penelope:IMG_20220111_091444.jpg

It is velvety, soft, but sturdy, maybe like velvet on top of corduroy jeans!

Welcome back @carterazo! I saw some new customers enjoy their Daphne so much I'm getting one! Details are:
smoke grey handmade vacchetta
light blue lining
light gunmetal hardware,
no backing
exterior zip pocket
reverse zips
4 half rings for the crossbody / messenger strap attachment

The criss cross attachment on the Daphne isn't my favorite. I think I'm afraid that in 50 years haha, it will warp the bag. Probably unfounded, but to solve that, I asked for 4 half rings, so that I could rotate the angle.

I just saw on Marco’s website that the promo has been extended to the 14th, which is good for me as I need more time to make a decision! :smile:

Actually, I think I’m almost there. I’m basically between a Minerva Midi with fringe or my original idea of a Bouquet Midi (no fringe) with no shoulder straps but a Theia handle on the sides. I’m leaning a bit more towards a Minerva Midi with fringe though, and if I go for that, I’m trying to figure out whether or not to get a zip closure. I still have all the concerned about things falling out and security I mentioned before, BUT the reality is the I so very rarely use the zip when a bag has a zip closure. It’ll be about $50 to add a zip closure, and sure, in the grand scheme of things, it’s only $50. But also, if I’m not going to use it, I’d rather not add that upgrade. The problem is, if course, I have no clue if I will use it or not. Past bag usage tells me no, I won’t use a zip closure, but overthinking me wonders if I will for THIS particular bag because of the reasons mentioned earlier.

Does anyone have a Minerva Midi with just the standard magnetic closure? Do you find that it’s enough?
