Fantastic! I hope you don't mind, but I am so copying this design! :biggrin::heart:
Thanks to Marco, so you’re most wellcome .His doing.. lol.
He knows I like extra pockets to place books, phone, glasses etc, because I am not an organised person. I find it so interesting that so many can have extra pouches with this and that in them. I plop stuff into my bags..and only have a purse as an extra with me. So in order not to rummage too much in the bag.. it is easier to check pockets! :biggrin:

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 stunning! You’ve just made me put this travel bag on my list…complete with the pockets like yours, if you don’t mind! Gorgeous!

Looking forward to seeing this. I think a Little Theia in vachetta would be super cute!
 
Anyone who owns /has owned a Little Minerva :wave: ,- I need advice :-s

I am nearing completion of my order for a Little Minerva.
To my surprise I see that standard width of Little Minerva shoulder strap is the same as for Minerva Midi - 3 cm :hrmm:

Please tell me,-
do you feel the 3 cm wide shoulder strap looks proportionate with the size of Little Minerva or have you ever wished it were slimmer ?

I’m at the cinema waiting for a film to start, but I’ll chime in with my thoughts after.
 
I don’t know why it took me so long to take this bag for a spin? I think mentally I thought it was too big for every day but you know what? Use the bag. it is a bigger bag esp for satchel/arm carry but its such a beautiful size and shape I think its lovely and comfortable to wear. I used an insert in it cuz I don’t carry enough to fill her up and the insert is perfect.

What are you using this lovely Sunday?

Pictured: Charlotte Satchel in Med Grey Pompei and Lilac Lining. Some slightly darker edge paint and contrast stitching really brings this bag to life!

The width of the shoulder strap for Little Minerva is one of my favourite things about this bag. It did not look disproportionate with the rest of the bag at all, and I’ve always found the drop of the Little/Midi Minerva shoulder strap to be perfect (in fact, I’ve ordered separate Little/Midi Minerva shoulder straps for non-MM bags as well). Proportions aside, if you’re like me and prefer walking to driving or taking transit, you’ll appreciate the width of the strap width :smile: Hope this helps!

Edit 1: Included side photos of my Little Minervas which show the width of the strap against the bag itself. Both bags are no longer in my possession but I kinda have sellers remorse over selling the tweed one…

Edit 2: IMO nappa was a mistake for me in regards to the Little Minerva style, see how the leather creases at the side? Softer leathers (or leathers with more texture and variations) would crease in a more “natural” way rather than looking as if they were “forcibly folded”, if that makes any sense.

oh wow! I Love the bag shape and the handles. The HMV is really showcased in a bag this size, too.

The dark brown leather on the side of your minerva is delicious. What is that?
