I actually modeled my dark chocolate merinos one after someone else posted their dark brown aquila matte one. It was stunnningggg in aquila matte so I definitely think that’s a great choice!

That was mine! Aquila Matte works really well with Hera. It's such an interesting leather. Dark Grey would be really pretty. I love, love, love the dark chocolate merinos bag. I'm putting dark chocolate on my wish list.

ETA: I also love the suede under the strap idea. Calista especially is one that I find slips off my shoulder, and if I order another one, I am definitely getting suede under the strap.

That Angelica is so beautiful, I really love it in the HMV leather.
I can't decide which one of the Angelicas of yours I like better, maybe the Sauro Tan one.
The slippery slope of having the same bag in different colors, before you know it, you'll be like me with 10+ bags of the same style in every color of the rainbow.

I’ve almost collected every style I love so I’m starting to have duplicates now. I can’t even help myself they’re multiplying like rabbits over here!!! LOL. I’m not sure which I like better either. Probably sauro tan too. She was my first and what made me fall in love with MM. plus that leather is just out of this world and a perfect every day color. But the Rust HMV is definitely special too!! Angelica is definitely one of my top favorite styles and just does so amazingly well in a Vachetta leather!

I could not help myself, I simply had to order another Verona Hera Midi with Theia strap, this time in Blue Iris :rolleyes:

My Brown and Black Hera Midis are my most elegant, beautiful (and practical!) bags...

I feel Hera is the ultimate Verona bag and Verona is the ultimate Hera leather.
There has, however, been an issue with all my Heras, including my full sized Pebbled Hera, - "leather pull" :frown:

"Leather pull" is my term for when the weight of a bag with contents causes the leather around/next to/below the bag's strap connector to stretch or bend.

I truly hate "leather pull" :mad: , which is why I request that D-rings on Zhoes and Penelope Messengers are sewn on top end of bag...
View attachment 5120036
Anyway, Marco and I have figured out how to similarily avoid the "leather pull" on Heras, so I feel I should share it, in case any of you might want this Hera solution yourselves.

Simply request "Leather strap attachment sewn on top edge of bag" . If you like, you can use this photo to illustrate:

Hey there!! I was wondering if you had a picture of a Hera with the leather pull “fix” I am thinking of requesting this on my next Hera order and wanted to know what the fix looks like!

I have pictures. I ordered the fix on my first Hera but forgot about it on my second one. I like the pull with the fix better.

My camel suede Hera has the fix of sewing the strap attachment on the top edge of the bag:

Here's the original design on my dark brown aquila matte Hera. The strap attachment is sewn lower on the side of the bag:

Here's a picture of them side-by-side. I tried to hold them up so you can see how the modification makes it hang better:

Thank you so much this is perfect and so helpful! Thank you for the photos. I agree the higher positioning looks good and kinda makes me think it should be the standard! LOL!
