thank you for this info! I love the little Valerie, a really underrated model, I think. I'm going with tan Handmade Vacchetta body, and navy Handmade Vacchetta trim. I have actually ordered my Valerie with some modifications which I made before the posts about this! What I asked for is:
* not too stiff, slightly slouchy (hmm)
* concealed magnetic closures instead of the push down clips.
* buckles concealing the magnetic closures - making it look like they are buckled.

I'm really hoping that the magnetic closures will make it easy to close, even when the bag is empty, and especially because I have asked for it to be not fully stiff. It will be interesting to see how this comes out!

@porpentine Did you ever share pictures of this bag? How do you like the magnetic closure?

When does the HMV & Deerskin promo end? Can’t tell if “till Wednesday” means end of day (midnight) on Wednesday, or midnight on Tuesday? Anyone have official verification from Marco?

In my experience, it has always been "midnight on Wednesday"/ the end of Wednesday, i.e. until the calendar switches to Thursday.
What I do not know is how Marco relates to the various time zones ... (as I happen to live in same time zone as Marco).

I suspect he will be lenient if you write "here in .... it is ... o'clock on Wednesday 8th";) but maybe best to email him and ask.

Thanks @Fancyfree. I suspected as much. Here I am, just now getting serious about making a definite decision! I suspect I am not alone.:confused1:

Nope, not alone. I finalized one bag...but contemplating filling my box hahaha! I do USPS so my shipping fee doesn't increase that much per box, but for those who usually do UPS, your shipping fee will increase more, including if you do two bags, just fyi.
And I think Marco usually goes by the farthest time zone haha, so you have end of day from the latest point in the world LOL.

I simply love blues :girlsigh:.
Beautiful blues break down all my resistance /self discipline / restraint :wtf:

I suddenly wondered whether Lobelia Vacchetta Lux might actually be the magical Majorelle Blue of YSL ..?

So I requested comparison photos together with Cobalt and Bluette Merinos:

It used to annoy me that Little Minerva wouldn't stand up straight. A felt bag shaper/organiser solved this problem.

This was actually bought for another bag, but turned out to be too small for it. A good thing that it fits Little Minerva perfectly and actually does something for the bag, because Little Minerva is small and actually doesn't need extra organisation.

Awesome! Would you please share the name of the insert and where you bought it? TIA!

You can't go wrong with a Victoria.:) I almost ordered another one for this sale, but decided to go in a completely different direction.

In what direction did you go? Please tell :wave:

Well, the Victoria was in addition to the deerskin Demetra alto I’m getting. But since most of my bags are medium to large, and since I couldn’t get the thought of the navy HMV out of my mind I decided to get two small HMV bags instead of the rust Victoria. I’m getting a navy HMV and a rust HMV Phoebe. Strap attachment modified to look similar to this.

Facebook can't seem to accept this picture so I'll post it here for anyone interested. My colorblock Charlotte satchel.

I love your color block. Everyone is so creative with their color block bags. I am just not very good at putting color block bags together. I always admire everyone else's color blocking they all look so nice.

I see on Facebook but that a new Athena is in the works. Just wanted to post my very first MM, an Athena in an iris nappa, I believe. This was before Marco included ownership tags, and I've long forgotten the details, but I do recall getting lots of compliments
Click to expand...
Marco is actually planning to discontinue the Athena along with some other styles that aren’t as popular. That post was a little joke since the poster said it will have orange, furry lining( her cat). I was actually looking for the furry lining until I realized she was talking about her cat :lol:.
