My haul:heart:
I received it last Wednesday but haven't had the chance to play and take pictures. It's gloomy and rainy at the moment so the pictures are not in the best light.
Aura in Indigo Napa
Diva in River Vachetta, GHW, Fuchsia Lining
Penelope in Crystal Merinos with Zhoe Straps and outside back slip pocket
Angela midi in Mauve Pebbled
Hot Pink Napa flora
Penelope Midi in Sunflower Merinos
Bump for @bagsbagzbagss
 
I'm not sure how to upload a photo on here but just looking at the existing styles, it is most similar to the Muse Midi, just with longer handles attached with hardware instead of sewn on (9"drop), and exterior pockets on either side (one zipped, the other with a snap flap similar to the Victoria style, mine has a metal embellishment on top). I don't really care about the hardware/embellishment although I do like the way the handles are attached for Rua Angelica better than the wider attachment of Muse. Functionally I like my bag because it has 2 interior pockets plus the central zip divider, plus the 2 on the outside, and it's easy to stay organized.
Marco can switch handles, add exterior and interior pockets and zips. If you can send him your vision along w existing bag photos he can help you decide which style is similar..
 
I've always regretted not getting in on the original Green Vachetta leather before Marco discontinued it so I was thrilled to see this Grande Penelope pop up on the BST. The original green is lighter than the current Dark Green HMV so it's easy to see the depth and color variation in the leather. Original Vachetta really suits the GPM as the firmness of the leather lends itself to the clean lines of the design.

Beautiful! This is more of a hunter green. I prefer this shade over the new army green.

So happy it found a new home with someone who loves this leather for the same reason I did! I was determined to get something in this specific leather and spent a long time deciding on a style that would best showcase its qualities. Look how she glows! Enjoy using it!
 
I was inspired by someone's post today to try a bag that hasn't been given enough love haha and I'm so glad I did! My Astra Satchel really needs to see get out more..."she" really holds more than I thought!
And just a reminder for anyone who owns one; if you don't want the bottom to curve in over time, I wouldn't store her standing up. I did and noticed what was happening and now store her on her back. She looks great now down there!

That is the color I thought I was getting when I ordered my green one in the new leather. I love the original color and hated to let go of the one I had, but the style did not work for me at all. Enjoy it. It is a beauty.
