Joining the others to give you a big welcome to MM!!! Ohhh, I love the Pebbled calf idea on the bottom. I would definitely love to see how this comes out. Please reveal!! Little Minerva is a very cute and good sized bag for sure....and you know, might as well get two bags since those fit in one box . If you're in the US, that also usually comes under the $800 customs fee limit too!

Thank you, djfmn and christine, for the kind words and warm welcomes.

christine, I will definitely reveal. I'm in Canada, and I'm not sure what the customs fee limit might be here. I'd be interested to hear from any other MM fans in Canada who might have more info on that. But I thought I would start with just one bag, and see where it goes from there!

I am speechless. The Diva in Dark Grey Sorrento is so full of character and has an amazing texture I’ve been petting her for the last several minutes. The mint lambskin totally is the beautiful pop inside that I wanted. It’s the PERFECT size for me and is such a comfortable and effortless carry. I feel it has thag causal vibe I wanted but still full of class. And the SMELL wow. Amazing

And the little Charlotte satchel!!! It turned out so much better than expected. I was admittedly nervous. Color blocking is not my forte. But I think it came together well! Beige fiore and black fiore with what I think is a lambskin (maybe camel or nut?) sides and beige lamb lining. The details on this are out of control. From the pop of black zipper contrast and stitching to the careful coordination of leathers Marco really made my vision come to life and kicked it up a notch. It’s a smaller size - I’d say comparable to the little Miss M? And so cute. I may need an alto-sized one to round out my collection *cough cough* (don’t kill me Marco) no but really it’s a good cute size! Juliet midi/little Miss M/daphne capacity ish? Smaller than Angelica and Juliet alto for sure in terms of capacity. But freaking adorable af. What an excited mail day! Came hella fast too. Shipped last week and arrived today USPS!

Super helpful! ESP the flat lay side by sides!
 
These photos are terrible lighting but I snapped them last night for a friend and wanted to share here for anyone who loves visuals and size comparisons!

Juliet Alto and Little Charlotte Satchel!

Capacity wise - Juliet Alto has a little more room. It’s a bit wider and deeper and also the shape lends for some more top room where the Charlotte pinches in some.

Visually I think they look pretty similar on the body since Charlotte is more structured.

Top fav styles so far: Charlotte Satchel (both sizes), Angelica, Juliet, and Victoria! I think I have a type

I'm jelly of all you ladies receiving your Sorrento orders. It's been 9 weeks now with no shipping notice. Must mean Marco is really busy with orders, which is good. I will have to live vicariously through all your reveals until mine arrives.

I just got my Handmade Vachetta order on Thursday. I ordered it on January 7th. I did tell him I was fine with whenever he sent it. It looks like a lot of ladies are receiving HMV orders. A couple of ladies received Sorrento orders but they indicated there orders were not part of the Sorrento Promotion. I am sure all the Sorrento orders from the promo will start shipping next.

I still haven't made a purchase yet since the last time I posted but I keep on stalking this thread and the fb group.. I've basically changed my mind on the style and would like something crossbody-ish so I can basically be more handsfree :biggrin:

What styles would be close to lady dior / balenciaga city / LV pochette metis / antigona silhoutte? :smile:

enough to fit an ipad mini or a super compact umbrella tho.. along with the usual wet wipes, masks, sanitizers, wallet.. :D I basically carry so much for the kiddo but I would like to have a smaller bag this time that's not a tote LOL
