My bags join me in my often chaotic life, rather than my life working around my bags!

Athene will show marks but I don't care. I love it even though I categorically hate shiny and patent leathers. There is a sheen but somehow it still makes a natural leather impression, whereas shiny leather typically reminds me of pleather.

My order is now placed and paid for. I'm so excited! It took so much time for me to decide on the color, leather, style, and everything. I think I'm getting nervous too much coz this is my first tote from them. Tote can be a hit or a miss for me and I really really want it to work. I can't believe my lust for a drawstring bucket bag will finally lead me toward a tote. [emoji16] I really hope it'd be awesome. [emoji16]
 
Here's Terra Cotta Midi Minerva! OMG! I love it so much. It is customized with a longer flap, no interior center compartment and the shoulder strap shortened 2". It now tucks nicely under my arm. I will always shorten the strap with this style going forward.

The color is terrific - very glad I got it. Odebdo is right - it's unexpectedly neutral. Terra Cotta is an apt description for the color.

This is my first merinos bag and I am in love. It's light as a feather and puddles so nicely. I will definitely get another merinos in this style. I received my swatches today too. I'm more enamored with stormy sea green and denim pebbled than expected.

More pics tomorrow in better light.

Glad you like the Merino! Your bag has a lovely fresh look in the Terra Cotta. Enjoy :flowers:

Ooh! What did you order?
 
Ooh! What did you order?

A Selene zip midi! I'm so exited! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] This will make a great birthday present to myself! I just looked at the calendar after I paid for the bag and realized that my birthday is near. [emoji38] I guess time just flies and I've been very busy and very stressed lately I just forget about everything. I don't think it'll make it here in time for my birthday, but it's sure will be a lovely gift to myself. Yay! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Yay!!!! It's my favorite bag! Mine has a top zipper and a messenger strap, so it's extra $$ but totally worth it. What leather and color did you choose? Hardware? I like mine so much, I'm actually thinking of getting another....

I won't say it now. I'm crossing fingers and waiting for it to arrive. [emoji4] Normally, how long do they take?

I believe it's about a week to make (allow 10 days unless they are super busy), then add time for shipping (3-7 days). Of course these could be wildly off: my Black Friday bag was one of the last orders that day, so it was almost 4 weeks to be made, but to make matters worse it then got lost during shipping, and was finally declared lost after seven weeks. So, almost 3 months and still no bag! You can imagine how I felt.... Anyway, Marco then got to work on a new bag for me, and a week later it was sent via DHL this time and arrived in 3 days, including the Weekend! My missing package is one of the reasons they have switched back to using DHL, so you should be fine. I'm excited with you! I can't wait to see what leather and hardware you've chosen!
