Another comparison shot for anyone who might be interested: Tiffany Blue pebbled, Tiffany & Co tote in Tiffany Blue, and Mint Verona. I’d say the Tiffany & Co tote stands in the middle of Marco’s Tiffany Blue pebbled and Mint Verona. Marco’s Tiffany Blue pebbled is a bit more blue than the Tiffany & Co tote and his Mint Verona is a bit more green than the Tiffany & Co tote.View attachment 5303613
I love the blue of your Hera best - gorgeous!

Love your Hera :love:.

Actually, I have always perceived the Tiffany & Co colour to be green, not blue, and you have proven me right :coolio:.
I wonder if Marco's Pebbled Cielo is closer in colour to Tiffany & Co... But I far prefer the blue of your Hera :girlsigh:
 
I really like the Tiffany blue color, but it is not available now or at least it is not on his web site,
If you are interested a specific color or leather, ask Marco directly. He only lists the leathers he has in stock on his website, but he can often obtain others from a tannery. When I wanted a Hera in suede, he sent me a bunch of options for suede colors that he could get from a tannery even though he doesn't keep suede in stock.

Thanks, I just did that a few minutes ago, lol.
 
@Fancyfree I may have missed this, but how do you like your Calista in bordeaux tuscania? I remember that was your dream MM bag :love:
I have too many bags! When I read your question I realised I have not worn my Bordeaux Calista for ages. So I pulled it out and have worn it for the last few days.

It really is a lovely bag. The Bordeaux Tuscania is smoother and feels slightly thicker and more resilient than the more crackled Cobblestone and Midnight Blue. Also, I really like the way the Bordeaux changes colour in different light. It is definitely one of my favourite bags.

Yea, he has enough to make a Hera midi, so I ordered one. I have no pastel color bags at all and I have been wanting to try the Hera. I changed the strap to the Theia one, which is my favorite of all of the straps and he will pick the hardware and the lining.

@bagsbagzbagss influenced me and I have a Hera Midi on my wishlist too. Are you going to do the "mistake" strap that people ended up liking that has no lobster claw?

This Bordeaux colour is a real chameleon, changes in different lighting, varies between brown and deep wine. Very difficult to photograph in "deep wine mode", is a lot darker than photo on the right.

The leather is a lot smoother and feels thicker than my bags in current Dark Brown Tuscania, Cobblestone Tuscania and previous Dark Blue Tuscania. However, all my 3 Tuscania Calistas weigh the same :cool:

I like both shades, but I really, really like Marco's shade. What a gorgeous Hera Midi and Penelope!

I never really noticed the short strap for the Penelope. I don't know where I've been! Did you specify the length or does he just have a standard one for that? I trust his standard, but just checking if I should be prepared with a measurement. Thank you in advance @dramaprincess713 !!!
So sorry I missed this post the first time around! I’ll check the measurement of the short strap tonight and let you know, but I had actually previously ordered a Penelope with a short strap. I think I had specified a measurement for the first one, so I’m not sure if he just used what I requested before or if it’s truly a standard measurement he has. In any case, I’ll let you know what it measures!

Gorgeous! I love the Tiffany Blue color so much.
Thank you, it really is so pretty!

I love the blue of your Hera best - gorgeous!
Thanks! :smile:

Yes, the Tiffany & Co color does have quite a bit of green to it. Now I’m curious to check out the Cielo!
 
I reached out to Marco and asked if there was the possibility of doing a laptop sleeve in Handmade Vacchetta and gave him my laptop dimensions (a 13" MacBook Pro).

Here's what I got! Very happy with it. Rust HV with light blue lining. There is a slip pocket on the back side.
