Hey, all. If you were going to do a bag in the rust HMV, would you do a Rua Angelica, or a Selene Midi? I already have a large Selene, but love the style. I also like the Rua. Soooo...what do you all think?
Selene, maybe the new version with pockets at both ends so that it looks a little different from your full sized Selene.

I love Midi and Little Selene with in HMV with the side pockets. I did tan contrast stitching, too, which I think gives it added dimension. Here's a picture of my Little Selene in Rust and my Midi in Tan HMV.

I would get the Rua Angelica in the rust HMV because the Angelica style looks better with a leather that gives that structure to the bag. You can save the softer leathers for the Selene Midi, unless it's a structured Selene Midi you're looking for.
 
I took a bunch of pictures of my full-sized Charlotte Shoulder Bag in Blue Reef Nappa. It has silver hardware, dark blue stitching, and light fuchsia lining.

The leather is a great color. I included a picture next to my River Blue Vacchetta bag so you can get a feel for it. I love the design of the bag. The picture of the inside shows a Penelope, a Coach skinny wallet, and a water bottle. They all fit great. The slip pocket on the back is a generous size.

The only thing I don't really like is how the end of the zipper pull is loose. I'd probably ask Marco if there is a way to tack it down inside the bag if I had it to do over. I've also ordered a second strap that is shorter in length.

I love the slightly darker contrast stitching. It helps bring out the nice details on the front of the bag.

This bag is beautiful. Can I ask about how much it was?

I did a Rua! It’s still on order but while I think either would be stunning HMV works soooo great with the clean lines and structure of Angelica!
 
It looks like I paid €343.00 for it, which included shipping, but that was a promo price and Marco recently raised his prices, so that price is no longer accurate.
Hmm, I thought I replied to this. Must not have hit "post reply". Anyway, thank you for looking it up, and I'm glad to hear that even with a price increase, it's likely not out of the range of something I could afford.
