Thanks for the heads up about velvet verona corners rubbing. I have a calista midi in velvet verona and so far it hasn't rubbed yet, but it has round edges and not corners like a soulmate. I'm thinking of ordering a bouquet midi next, and currently I'm thinking of either in dark brown tuscania, dark chocolate merinos, or purple velvet verona :P but your note about the corners rubbing is something that I would need to take into consideration.

I went back and looked at my soulmate and it is very minor. I don't want to scare anyone off of ordering velvet verona because it is really beautiful! I think in part the minor rubbing I see has to do with the soulmate style itself -- there is a lot of material that folds and touches the ground, creating more friction or floor contact than, say, the Bouquet.

I am going to be living vicariously for a while through all of your orders. It has taken a lot of discipline for me not to jump on the vacchetta train, but I just bought a bag from another company before this promo hit. Grow, money tree, grow!

In the mean time, I will continue to enjoy using my Little Valerie in pirate cuoio toscano as my most-used MM bag during COVID (prior to COVID, it was the Modena for everyday office). Someone asked about that leather for structured and unstructured bags. I can say that it has held up really well on my little structured satchel.
 
Does anyone here have both the little Tulipano and the little Selene? I would love to see comparison pics and hear your thoughts. Tulipanos are not on Marco's website, so I can't compare. TIA!
 
My rust brown vacchetta Little Selene arrived tonight. I will take more pictures tomorrow in the daylight, but for anyone thinking about the Rust Brown Vacchetta, it is beautiful. The leather has some variation to it, which I really love.

Oh @Kimbashop, when you have time, could you post a picture? Especially for the new MM fans! I know that's an under-appreciated style!

I love the addition of the side pockets. It’s definitely a nice upgrade for the Selene style. Do you like them as much as you though you would? How much are the side pockets if you don’t mind?

Wow @coach943! Did you specify the color for the contrast stitching or just ask Marco to choose one? That really makes the bag pop and the rust is amazing!!!! I considered this color a lot when choosing because it is one of the most interesting of the choices for sure.

I love the side pockets, but I don't think I'll really use them, at least on this Little Selene. They are more style than function for me. Because of the way the pockets curve around, I don't think anything would fit in them very well. I think they were 40 Euros on the Little Selene. I just ordered a Selene Midi with the side pockets in this sale. My sense is they may be more functional on a Midi sized bag.

When I ordered this bag, I was debating between the tan and rust colors. Marco recommended beige stitching and beige lining, so that is what I ordered. I love the beige stitching. It really works with this style and leather.
