I like Victoria better! But I still love Selene. And she’s also my newest bag so were still getting fully acquainted!

I like the width of Victoria more than the more square shape. (Again personal preference!) I like the fact that it’s so accessible even cinched. Selene is easier to dip into because no flap (but I may do a second Victoria without the flap)

They’re both super comfortable to carry. My full Victoria is in HMV and I carried it loaded up to the doc with my son the other day and it didn’t feel heavy at all and hugged my side and the dip made my arm feel like it had a little spot to go. Straps stayed on and I hardly noticed it was there.

Selene is new so again only so much experience so far but it is in pebbled leather and is a puddle of smoosh and very comfortable against my body. I will say the pebbled + lambskin is notably heavier even than the big Victoria in HMV. But the straps are comfy and don’t slip. So I don’t mind.

To me, Verona has characteristics closer to Pebbled, it's textured with pebbling that really can be felt. It's a little more "rugged" than Vacchetta/HMV, and it's been proven to wear like iron, pretty indestructible. It will soften over time but not be a pile of puddle.

HMV is a little smoother and is a little more elegant and luxurious. A classy leather. Since it's so new, there's not much that can be said yet about durability, but, I have scratched it a little and it hasn't shown any marks yet.

Both have a slight sheen / gloss that probably will wear off over time.

I showed both leathers among others in a live FB video, maybe this might be helpful:

I need my money tree to grow, now.

I’ve mentioned before that my next MM bag will be Little Muse in rust HMV, but talking with you ladies makes me want a verona AND handmade vacchetta Victoria Alto, Calista Alto, Little Valerie, basically everything lol. Because I’m a girl that can’t make up her mind and wants everything.

At least I’ve crossed off Bouquet Midi from my list. Patiently waiting for my velvet verona Bouquet Midi to arrive from @bagsbagzbagss :girlsigh:

And because of you .... I will be buying a mint HMV bag and I'm deathly allergic to color. However I looked at my wardrobe last night and saw so many opportunities for a cute little HMV Little Muse so IT'S HAPPENING. This is such a gorgeous bag!!! Thank you for sharing (or maybe no thanks since you're making me want more things) LOLOLOL

I had my eyes set on a Victoria (the pending special Alto size) but just noticed that the Selene (Zip) can be clipped to have the sides folded in similar to the buttons on the Victoria. Does anyone have both styles (any size) that can take some comparison photos/point me to some? How is the functionality of the bag with the sides clipped or snapped in? Thanks!

Hi @poizenisxkandee, sorry this is a bit belated, but will this be your first MM purchase? Welcome if so!! Others did a great job answering your question, I don't have any more input because I only have Selenes, but wanted to give a hi in case you were new!

Thanks! And yes, it will be. I was looking for something that fit a specific-ish gap in my bag wardrobe but lots of things I thought might fill that gap were close, but just not quite right - strap drop not long enough, dimensions that were too tight or too large, different colored hardware, not the right proportions, etc.

I've ordered from a US company that has some customization available to their base models (leather/color, hardware, straps, etc) before but wasn't really feeling their shapes/styles for this need. I've run into photos of and recs for MM on the board and started looking into it. Excited to eventually place my first order!

Ohhh! @poizenisxkandee, then a big welcome to Massaccesi! Feel free to ask away here. You may know already, but Marco does even more customizations than you will find on his website. There's other resources too, like some other threads on tPF, Albums and videos on the FB group etc.
