Nope! This was added on to my Sorrento Goat order in order to maximize shipping costs. That order was in limbo for a long time because Marco was waiting for a leather to arrive from the tannery to complete that order. It did not arrive, so Marco kindly offered to add this “small” Deerskin instead.

I am not ordering during that promo. Cartella is pretty, but unfortunately not for me.
What promo? These bags are pretty and are on my radar, but are maybe 3rd or 4th on a wishlist (a Charlotte). Is there any place to see more close up pics of them rather than the website? I can't make the photos bigger, hard to get a really good look.
Also, what does a leather description mean when it says "half bovine"?
I need to take better pics and I will tomorrow - but I’m just so obsessed with this little cutie! It’s way out of my usual comfort zone but I fell in love with my more adventurous friends’ lavender sorrento bags and impulsively ordered this little Juliet Midi. I’m so glad I did!!! It’s just sooooo stinking cute.
Also super glad Marco made a Juliet Alto. For every day carry the Midi just isn’t quite enough. The full is pretty large. That Alto is really the sweet spot for me!
Deets:
Lavender Sorrento Juliet Midi
Added a magnetic back slip pocket
Silver fabric lining
Light gunmetal hardware
4” drop on grab handles

Half bovine is just a description of the hide that he uses. It's a cow hide that is sold from the tannery in half skins, if I remember correctly.
Ah okay, thanks! Cartella in particular is not my style, but if I one day do get a Charlotte, I will ask if it can be made with contrast stitching. One of his pics was a brown with white contrast stitching that looked beautiful.
Contrast stitching on a Charlotte is an excellent choice. It really makes the lines of the bag pop. I have several bags with contrast stitching, and they are great. Marco's team does an excellent job with stitching.
Have any of you had problems with peeling edgepaint. My China blue pebbled Athena is peeling suddenly. Would you ask Marco to send edgepaint with my next order? Find a local alternative? Not worry about it until it gets worse?
Oh my goodness! Never seen this happen before. How long have you had the bag?
Could it have happened from overheating, say lying in a car parked in the sun?
If not, I imagine it must be down to a faulty batch of edge paint.
If so, I think I would ask Marco to redo the edge paint.

If not overheated, it must be faulty edge paint. Or faulty application. Maybe there is supposed to be a thin adhesive coating under the edge paint that they forgot to apply?
As you clearly love your bag, (I adore my Hera in the same China Blue leather
) I would ask Marco to let you return it and have the edge paint redone all over. If you ask him to merely send you some edge paint, I suspect the new edge paint would not be the exact same shade, so "patching" it would not look good. And this degreed of edge paint peeling is surely a production issue...I have had cracks in edge paint, mainly on non-Massaccesi bags. My impression is that the thicker the layer of edge paint, the more vulnerable it is
(I have a couple of times requested "as little/thin layer of edge paint as possible" from Marco, simply because I do not find thick layers of edge paint attractive. The thin layer of edge paint is almost invisible, looks almost like part of the leather. Have never experienced cracks in thin edge paint. Needless to say, I never request contrasting edge paint
It has always puzzled my why many luxury brands use black or dark brown edge paint regardless of the colour of leather)Best wishes to you and your lovely bag

Oh no so sad!!! Marco will definitely send you edge paint I’m sure of it. I haven’t personally experienced this but I know I’m the past if there was an edge paint issue he sent it out. I’m sorry!
Ask him to send you some edge paint with your next order. Occasionally this happens and he is more than happy to send some edge paint.
