I think the Clio would look great. I think of it as a more casual looking leather.
Thank you :hugs: Although I really want another Clio, I decided that sorrento is a tad too soft for an otherwise structured style, albeit small. I’m likely going to go with a Bouquet Midi (black, red lining, gold HW, and a bunch of modifications). Your Diva Midi in the purple sorrento is one of my favourite MM bags, and I think the burgundy sorrento is as close as I can get to that purple, I might get it as one of my future MM bags. As for Clio, I’m probably going to get it in handmade vacchetta in black during a future sale (purse funds has depreciated these few weeks and need a bit replenishing).
Anybody get any extra Sorrento pics from Marco? This pic of Fuschia was posted on FB and it is gorgeous! I think I'm getting Calistas in both Fuschia and Lavender Blue.

That’s one juicy plum colour.
 
Also I need to know if people love Aquila matte. It’s calling to me for some reason but I haven’t seen much about it other than a glorious looking Hera recently!!
The recent Hera in Aquila Matte is mine. I've only carried it once, but I love it. It has a really nice feel to it that is different than other leathers I've gotten from Marco. I like the way it drapes on Hera. I'd recommend it for a bag on the softer side like a Hera. Calista in it would be very nice.

WOW :nuts:, that is amazing!
Now that this photo is public, I suggest reserving leather for your Calistas ASAP, so Marco does not run out of this leather while you figure out lining details etc ;)

Oh dear @Fancyfree, thank you for the wonderful comment! Others have helped too; not just me. I'm just wanting to help bridge the new people who are used to the FB groups. But, my intention isn't that we left tPF and the ones on here behind. I know there are some who will stay here and I myself have received so much benefit here and am grateful for tPF community. I will still be here as well as on FB. There's also still a wealth of information in the many years of this thread.

I love Floras!! Looking forward to seeing yours in Sorrento.
My Sapphire Flora has grown! Into a Little Hera :P
 
Ok so I reached out to the lovely @tenKrat to help me with a Sorrento leather bag. I love her creativity. I am getting a Sorrento leather midi Sienna. Her beautiful tweed and blue color blocked midi Sienna is my inspiration. I am not as adventurous when it comes to color blocking. This is what she designed for me.
I showed it to Marco and he said
"I like that idea. Siena is a good style to combine colors. I think that this contrast could be too strong. Dark brown is very dark and natural is very light. I'd go with a bit less distance between colors. For example you could consider a less dark brown. I will check if the tannery has a medium brown Sorrento in production.
Otherwise project is extremely nice!"

He is so accommodating. He is going to send me some photos of natural Sorrento with some darker brown options. I love the process of designing a bespoke bag. Especially when I get expert help from @tenKrat

I’m glad we were on the right track with the colors and that Marco will look for a lighter shade of brown that comes closer to natural Sorrento and would make a better match. A medium brown Sorrento would be very pretty. :smile:

I have been listing after it ever since I saw your Hera! I might need something it it soon. Thank you for sharing!! That dark brown is to die for.
