That’s a great idea. I’ll also ask Marco for a few other swatches of colours that I’m interested in, thanks for the suggestion!

Does your avio blue nappa look similar to mine? My photo is pretty accurate representation of the color.

Edit: just saw your post of your avio blue nappa Zhoe in the reference thread - looks like that’s what my Little Athene is!

I wore my Little Athene out tonight and I love this style! I might get another one!

To my eye it looks like nappa but that is from a photo.

With all these new sizes being made - Little Hera, Juliet Alto, Demetra Midi - I wonder...
Would anyone else, apart from me, be interested in a smaller Theia?
I love my full sized Tuscania Theia, and would SO love a smaller version. But I feel the Midi Theia is actually quite a large bag, too!
I would love a smaller version, especially as a cross body bag .. Like a kind of soft saddle bag. Would be gorgeous in HMV. Or Tuscania, Cuoio T, Aquila - actually all his leathers...

I feel I have already asked Marco for so many customized details on bags (and he has never said no). But I don't feel comfortable asking for a Mini Theia unless others than me are interested

I would definitely be interested - love the style but something more “purse” sized.

Oooo what kind of dimensions are you thinking?

I would be interested in a smaller crossbody Theia -

I have been looking at Theia dimensions, to figure out what might be appropriate size of a Mini Theia.
Initially a bit confused as Marco's shop pages give more dimensions for full-sized Theia than for Theia Midi, but I am pretty sure I have figured it out:
Max width Theia:40cm - Theia Midi:34cm
Center height Theia:31cm - Theia Midi:27cm
Bottom depth Theia:11cm - Theia Midi:10cm
(For inches divide by 2.54 )

I believe the design limits how small a Theia can be, as Theias need to be shallower at the top than at the base, while leaving enough top depth for the strap that runs around the bag. This is a side view of my full sized Theia. I don't own a Theia Midi to compare with..

Max width for Theia Midi is 6 cm less than full sized Theia..
Maybe another 6 cm smaller would be it would be possible for a Mini Theia, so 28cm max width? And height 23cm.
(Approx. 11 inches wide and 9 inches tall)
What do you gals think?

Currently Theia can look small or large depending how much one carries. If you make it much smaller it wouldn't have a good drape and wouldn't look like a Theia. JMHO.

My first MM babies. Cherry red Rua and HMV navy and red Ellen. View attachment 5335034View attachment 5335035

What an amazing modshot. I am the worst when it comes to taking these kinds of photos. You look so stylsih and your bag is gorgeous. Both bags are stunning. I love red bags. It is such a versatile color bag. I never thought I would own a red bag now I have 2. A deep red fiore Little Charlotte and a bordeaux red verona midi Modena with short handles. A red bag is fun to wear and you do it with such style. Love the red zipper and edge paint on your Ellen. I have a HMV tan Ellen such a great style for me the perfect style. Once again you make it look extremely stylish!!!

I love the Ellen. Can you share the specs? Specifically, all the red trim?

Ellen is between the size of a midi Selene and a Little Selene but it closer in size to midi Selene. For me it is the perfect size.

That is about what I was imagining.

I think some features of the theia might look different on the smaller size - I think that’s true of the little Minerva as well - but a slouchy bag that size would be amazing.

I expect choice of leather will be extra important to enable slouch in a smaller size. Merinos, no backing?

Actually, I don't know that I am even looking for slouch in Mini Theia...Just soft, comfortable, casual and practical Might even be lovely in Vacchetta,- sort of a soft saddle bag look

I think it would look great in Vacchetta-

Travelbag:
I guess I was a bit optimistic last year, and believed that it would be possible to travel.. so I wanted some roomy carry on bags as well as in a hardy leather. I decided on the Handmade Vachetta. Yes, it might scratch but will likely blend like the Aquila, and this look I really like!
I opted for no feet, extra side pockets and zipper pockets on both sides of the bag.

WOW !
This is so absolutely amazingly gorgeous .
I love your choice of exterior pockets. And colour of lining. Those handles! And the "handle connection" on bag. The overall shape..
I love everything about this bag.

How long, tall and wide is this beauty, please?

I absolutely love what you did with this bag! Been considering Juliet for the exact same reason. Was thinking about a bag strap on the outside but love the zip pockets as well. Will those wonderful side pickets hold bottle of water similar to the airport? Beautiful bag, you did great!

Thank you
Sure the side pockets can hold a waterbottle.. The bottle on the pic sits a bit loose, but the bag is empty.I can still carry it without the bottle falling out!
