@Kylacove, I think either actually would be great! Or...if you wanted to take advantage of the Merinos promo, it'd work in that too. The only thing is I haven't seen a Sorrento Juliet yet, but I have seen them in HMV and Merinos.I'm thinking of a Juliet Alto. Would Sorrento or HMV be better?
In my opinion, full sized Calista in Merinos is perfectionI’m so excited about the Merinos promo. I’ve been wanting to try Merinos! As always though, I’m so undecided about which style. I’m thinking Calista or Cartella. Or maybe Angel (though maybe I want to “save” Angel for a different leather?)
Any thoughts? Help a girl make a decision!
Ohhhh...and a Merinos Calista with lambskin lining would just be one big amazing puddle of leather !In my opinion, full sized Calista in Merinos is perfection.
No other leather works the same magic with Calista, and no other design complements Merinos more![]()
Well I am not a Calista fan but I have to be honest it is purely personal taste. My preference is Cartella and I think it would be amazing in merinos. Having said that even though I am not a fan of Calista it will be lovely in merino. My vote though is for Cartella!!I’m so excited about the Merinos promo. I’ve been wanting to try Merinos!

Just now seeing this. I agree that HMV is stiffer than verona. I think it would work for the Hera but I am not sure about the Bouquet with its ties. My verona theia has my heart always because of the incredible leather of many colors. But the Hera style works great for me so……Beautiful bag! Is the verona theia still your favourite MM bag, or has the Hera Midi replaced that?
By the way, as a verona lover, do you think HMV is a good leather for bags like Hera Midi and Bouquet Midi? I think you have a HMV Selene?
This arrived recently—-Little Charlotte satchel in green ray nappa, light gunmetal HW, and dark grey lining. No modifications, she’s perfect.

Now that I finally tried the Hera midi I see why many of you like it. The size is perfect to hold a little or a lot but is not overwhelming. It sits up by itself. It slouches enough in pebbled to be lovely but not so much that it folds over and is hard to get into. And it carries close to the body and very comfortably.

I think it was one of your previous posts that had me wanting a Calista in Merinos in the first place! I'm not 100% sure if it is a style that will work for me, but I sure am tempted!In my opinion, full sized Calista in Merinos is perfection.

Lol, don't tempt me! I wasn't even contemplating lambskin lining for this one!Ohhhh...and a Merinos Calista with lambskin lining would just be one big amazing puddle of leather !
Cartella is probably more in line with bag styles that I usually go for. I'm not 100% certain Calista will work for me, particularly in my current mom life. But aesthetically I think it looks nice so I'm tempted anyway, lol. Cartella, on the other hand, I feel fairly confident will work for me, but Cartella also works with a lot of different leathers (in my mind, anyway), so I kind of wonder if I should "save" it for another leather because I feel like the only leather I'd want a Calista in is Merinos. I don't know - these decisions are always so hard for me!Well I am not a Calista fan but I have to be honest it is purely personal taste.

I just swapped bags and am using my HMV Little Selene. HMV may have replaced verona as my number one choice. This leather is so luxurious.Just now seeing this.

Whoa, that's saying a lot since I know you love Verona as much as I do.I just swapped bags and am using my HMV Little Selene. HMV may have replaced verona as my number one choice. This leather is so luxurious.
Oh, these decisions are SO hard for me - I'm the queen of indecision and analysis paralysis! It's why I'm so grateful for TPF and the FB group - I'm not sure I could make any of these decisions on my own!I absolutely get how hard these decisions are. I change my mind a number of times make a decision change again make another decision change again and then make a final decision. In between trying to make a decision I come to tpf for help and advice and suggestions. It takes me some time to finally get to where I am comfortable with my decision. It's all part of the process of selecting a bespoke bag which is so much fun. It's the journey for me it is the reason why I like buying bespoke MM bags.
I know how much you love Verona, so I feel like that is saying a lot! This makes me even more excited to get my HMV bag!I just swapped bags and am using my HMV Little Selene. HMV may have replaced verona as my number one choice. This leather is so luxurious.
