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 veronabut 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.
