So interesting how different the green and the brown Nappa behaved on the short ends of your Little Minervas
I wonder if one of them had a thicker "glaze" 
(do not know the correct term). If so, which one..?Nope

I’ve been thinking about an Astra crossbody since I first discovered MM, and have played around with so many colour combinations. I think I might finally be close to having one planned out. Would love to hear your insights, thoughts, and suggestions!
Unfortunately I don’t know how to do a mock-up, so I’m attaching a scribbled picture here. For the main body, I want yellow pebbled, and for the accents, white and taupe/dark taupe pebbled. What do you think?
Should I switch the places of white and taupe/dark pebbled?
How do you like the colour combination? Any other suggestions? I don’t want any accent colour to overpower the yellow.
Also thinking about adding a bamboo handle to get my own Gucci bamboo vibe
Thank you all

!I feel it all depends on how the taupe or dark taupe interacts with that specific yellow and with white...
Also, the current batch of one of these colours might be slightly different from the photos on the website, and that could change everything (say, if the current yellow batch is more lemon...)
I'd ask Marco to send you leather samples to make sure

Well people. I really thought I was beyond being stunned by Marco. I just got my dark green HMV Little Selene and this leather took my breath away! The color is not what I thought I was ordering (like the original dark green vachetta), but I really like it. It is very, very deep military green. Almost black in low indoor light. But the leather.... oh my gosh. My favorite leather since 2017 has been verona, but I think it has been replaced by HMV. I had to edit the photo but I got the color pretty accurate. If you have had any hesitation about this leather, put it to rest.
Ijust asked Marco to change my other bag to HMV if he has not started it yet, lol.

I can also get behind olive pebbled or hunter pebbled to replace the taupe/dark taupe. Let me know if anyone have any opinions or thoughts!I’ve been thinking about an Astra crossbody since I first discovered MM, and have played around with so many colour combinations.

@Fancyfree thank you! I’ve already asked Marco for some leather swatches for my next shipment, I feel bad for asking him for more for the time being, so I’m just playing around with the possible ideas
He is trying to keep the halfmoon on little Theia.So interesting how different the green and the brown Nappa behaved on the short ends of your Little Minervas
Nope
Dark green HMV is definitely the prettiest green leather I have ever seen! Love my Charlotte bag in this leather.

I love the colorway you have chosen for your bag, but I agree with what @Fancyfree said about ordering samples of the leather first.I’ve been thinking about an Astra crossbody since I first discovered MM, and have played around with so many colour combinations.

Also, I see where you are going with the Bamboo handle, but I wonder if it might be too much detail with the strap which seems to have some hardware detailing on it. Perhaps you could order a simpler strap so as not to compete too much with the bamboo?
That was my EXACT reaction when I first touched HMV. I think I gasped. It’s so exquisite. I’m so glad you are happy with the green too! Deep military green seems a good description! You are better at finding the words than I was! Haha. That is a beautiful bag! My next is going to be a smoke grey little Selene!

Love the idea of the bamboo handle! About the color combinations, I think a lot would depend on the shade of yellow. Taupe sounds closer to the other colors unless you want a high contrast. Definitely ask Marco to take pictures of different color combinations together in natural light indoors and outdoors. Have you also considered yellow, white and (light to medium) grey?
