What about a mint phoebe or flora?
I love rust and tan equally as well but went for rust this time!

Lol, I already have a Mint Verona Flora. My mint love is strong! I thought about a Pheobe, but I’m very odd about the Pheobe…I’m basically “saving” that style for a special leather that I haven’t yet found but I know will come some day (something like the tweed or flor leather Marco had a few years ago).

Hi everyone! I’ve been away from TPF for a good part of last year and have just started catching up on all the MM posts that I’ve missed (hundreds of pages! I had to get out some wine to enjoy along with all the eye candy ) I was in the middle of transitioning to a new job so I didn’t have time to plan or purchase any MM purchases in the past year, and to be honest my wallet thanks me and I really don’t need another bag since I’m working from home, and our country is in its 4th or 5th lockdown right now. But looking at all the beautiful reveals has me itchy for a new MM bag right now


This is one stunner @southernbelle43 , I almost audibly gasped when I came across your reveal. Do you think it’s heavy? I remember that we are both wary of heavier bags but I love the aesthetics of the Bouquet.

Welcome home! I weighed it on my kitchen scale and it weighs 2 lbs 14 ounces with my things in it. But I carry very, very little…a phone, a flat card wallet, a small make up pouch, kleenex, a couple of pens and keys. If you filled it up it could get heavy. I fits really close to the body when carried, so that also helps mitigate the weight. If you are considering velvet verona you need to order. There is not much left, I think..

Trying to decided on a color for this MIDI Minerva (I’m pretty sure I’m going to go for this promo and pretty sure that is the style I’m going with), and I can’t decide between tan or rust brown. I was strongly leaning towards tan but was asking Marco questions about the colors and he sent me this photo:

Now I don’t know because I feel like I like both tan and rust brown equally! Eek, how does one choose?!

The navy and Air Force blue are also really calling to me, but at least the navy is a standard color so I don’t feel the need to jump on it. And, I like the mint green WAY better in this photo than on the website and kind of want to get something small in it since I’m a sucker for mint and Tiffany blue type colors. I thought maybe a Little Penelope, but I already have one that I never use. I would do a regular Penelope, but I have a Tiffany Blue pebbled Penelope on it’s way to me, and I feel like it’s too similar to justify both (though had I know this mint was coming, I would have waited and gotten the Penelope in this!). Penelope Midi is a thought but I have one in Velvet Verona on it’s way to me, and I’m not ever sure how or if a I’ll use it yet, so if feels silly and premature to order a second one in mint handmade vacchetta. So I don’t know…maybe I gain some sense and resin and pass on the mint?

The tan is nice, but that rust looks so saturated and rich, wow.

Darn you!!! I had no intention of buying a bag in this promo. I was perfectly happy with the bags I have, no desire for another one. I just got my lovely Bouquet. Then you had to post these swatches. And the dark green vacchetta yelled, “buy me, buy me.” Argggggggg Soooooool

Little Selene in dark green vacchetta

Inside with four slip pockets and one zipper. (My Little Miss M that I bought several years ago came with the five pockets even though I did not ask for them and I love it.)

Oops, sorry for the inadvertent enabling! Your order sounds beautiful though. I can’t wait to see it!

The rust really is so pretty, isn’t it? Based off the website photos, I was tan all the way, but this photo really has me thinking rust. I’m picky about tan/cognac/brown shades-I don’t like anything too yellow, too brown, or too dark and very much favor brown shades that have red and orange tints/undertones to them. As per Marco, “Rust is much darker than tan. Rust could be described as a dark red with brown and tan undertones. Tan instead has a bit of sepia and orange undertones, it's a very warm brown.” Which, honestly, makes it sound like I’d be happy either either-both reassuring but also making decision-making so difficult!

Either one will be lovely!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry to keep posting about this but want to make sure anyone who is interested gets in on it!

Marco approved the inbetweener sized Juliet and we are calling it the Juliet Alto! This will be sized in between the Midi and Full size and something roughly like 12x7.5x5 (these are not the exact measurements they're just roughly in between what the two other sizes are - Marco will have to draft the proportionate pattern for exact measurements but this will hopefully give you a rough idea of sizing) Think Speedy 30ish.

Pricing for Juliet Alto will be:
560 euros for handmade vachetta (425 euros during the current promo)
and in non-premium level leathers it will be 400 euros.

Be sure to get that amazing handmade vachetta pricing! Holy discount.

I have decided my promo order at last, but Juliet Alto bring me confusion again.

I will go Rust brown. but smoke gray is still beautiful.
Have to order second bag!?

I believe Tan is not as rare an MM colour as Rust Brown. So I vote for Rust Brown

Personally, I would not choose Handmade Vacchetta for a SLG like a Penelope Midi. Handmade Vacchetta has a polished surface, and I would worry it would get scratched or at least marked by the other contents of my bag. But the Mint Green is really pretty... What about a Diva or Diva Midi? Or an Iride?

The dark green vachetta is gorgeous. I love the photo of all the leathers together it really shows the colors well. So much so that I am looking seriously at getitng a dark green vachetta bag. I already have my velvet verona midi Bouquet on the way and I ordered a bag in the airforce blue and now I am thinking perhaps dark green.

Yassss you did it!!! This will be SO amazing. Cannot wait to see!

 

[bagsbagzbagss]

Someone mentioned (actually I think two someones) they would like a Charlotte satchel midi. I’m wondering if he would already be able to do that since he has the different sizes of the Charlotte shoulder bag and it appears like it would just be a handle change. I might ask him cuz if I could get a midi Charlotte satchel I might need that too

I had a dark green bag in the original vacchetta leather several years ago, but the style did not work for me. So I have had this color in the back of my mind for a long while. If it is the same color as the original, it is stunning!
