Here is my very first MM bag, a Little Minerva in Marine Blue Merinos from the Merinos promotion, with lilac fabric lining, light gold hardware. I added a longer flap, top zipper closure, zip pocket on the back, wider crossbody strap, the underside of both straps in matching Pebbled calf to help avoid shoulder slippage, and added a tassel made with Marine Blue and the new Lobelia -- it's hard to tell there are two different colours in there, but *I* know : ) . I loved the Lobelia colour, but based on the side by side sample photos Marco sent, ultimately decided on the Marine Blue for the entire bag.

PS I hope I inserted the photos properly, and apologies if I didn't...

Love your bag! And the lilac lining with Marine Blue!
I really can't see a difference between Marine Blue and Lobelia though, from the leather images on the MM website they did seem quite different.

Thank you : ) . I've waited so long to be able to order a bag, and I'm thrilled with my first.

Yes, they do look quite different in the swatches, both the ones on the website, here on the leather reference thread, and the photos that Marco sent me; I asked to see those swatches of those two colours, plus Sapphire, side by side. In larger "chunks", rather than thin strips, that difference is more obvious. I was looking for something in more of a "bright navy" but not as bright as Lobelia. Here's the photo Marco sent me,

I just placed my first order. I’m so excited! I requested a Large Muse in Tan Pompei with a slip pocket in the back for my phone/mask, and an internal water bottle holder. I hope to get her before Thanksgiving but we’ll see! Marco is just so nice to work with. I already have ideas for a Victoria or Victoria Midi. Down the bespoke rabbit hole I go!

Congratulations on your first order! I know those who placed orders around mid May are starting to receive them. I placed an order in early June, and I’m still waiting (im)patiently lol. There is also a Victoria Alto sized in between the midi, and full sized. There was a FB video just posted a few days ago comparing the alto and full sized Victorias.

I'm getting a Cupra Midi in Black Croco with light gunmetal hardware and sage green lining. I've been looking for a dressy fancy dinner bag for some time. In fact I was set on getting an Iride in a Stardust leather if there are any left. So happy that Cupra launched, I love it more than Iride!

All sample bags were apparently snapped up within minutes of the launch announcement. Anyone got one? Do share! I love the Giunone as well, but it's too similar to Bouquet Midi and I have a space problem right now. I might get a Giunone in future if I decide to part with Bouquet Midi.
