Ladies! I just got some swatches in the mail! And just in case you were wondering which version of the colors was closest to reality, I found that the two photos at the end of the blog post - the collections in spring sunshine and cool shade - were spot on, at least on my PC and iPad, much closer than the modeling shots or the ones on the stones. In case it helps anyone, I found the Deep Fuchsia Merinos very close in color to the Plum Pebbled already being offered. And the Pebbled Denim and Athene Avio are similar in color, but totally different in texture. But for me now, decisions, decisions.... New bag style in an older leather, old bag style in a new leather, all new, or all last season but still new to me???

Yep, I have same dilemma. Leaning toward my fave known styles in new leather.
 
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!

Wow! That's quite an adventure for the bag! I'm glad you got it now and it's really pretty. My birthday is next week so it may arrive a bit late, but I don't really mind. I just can't wait until it's here! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
 
I've been a little busy/ lazy to post but I got my bags! Got my Penelope messenger in Midnight blue Tuscania calf leather and Daphne in River blue vachetta. Will also post these pics in the other thread.

I haven't gotten around to carry Daphne yet. Her strap is a little short for me so I will order another strap soon. The Penelope is surprisingly a very functional bag. Great for weekend shopping which is what I used it for!

Beautiful! I always love seeing Vachetta Daphnes. The Penny Messenger is such a useful little bag! Perfect size, IMO.

This is a great color and leather! I am really liking this distressed leather? I wonder if there is a dark brown. Thinking about getting a Cassandra to replace my midi minerva.
I recieved a Verona Grey Cassandra today! With light gunmetal hw and burgundy lining ( a colour I have used in some bags lately.. very neutral actually) Well, what to say :amuse: ?? Cassandra is a tottaly overlooked model by me, because I have the two sizes of the Mineva, bags I often use. But since I recieved the Brown, I just wanted one more alsoi in a neutral colour. And I am def not disappointed big LOL :happydance:
Definitely an overlooked bag for me too. I love messengers and any bag I can possibly wear as a crossbody. Beautiful color combo!

Are there any mod pics for this bag? I would love to see some!
 
More pics. Weather is crappy so lighting won't be good anytime soon.

Glad you finally have the minerva that you are looking for! Perfect choice and beautiful color!

Thank you LuvAllBags. I just bought the messenger at the last minute since I was ordering the Daphne anyways. While I probably won't be ordering anymore small bags because I just don't use them a lot, this is the perfect amount of size for what it is. For everyday work bag, I prefer the medium size like Daphne.
Thank you musicmom! So I asked to order another strap for Dapne but I was told that the shipping will be 25 euros regardless of how many bags I buy... I think I was told that. So now my mind is wandering off to more bags!

Yes, better to save your strap to travel with another bag if you're planning to order one. Otherwise the additional cost is tough.

I'm really surprised how well merinos works with minerva. I wouldn't have thought so before, but it's kind of perfect for me. I will plot another soon. The only way it would be better is with a back zip pocket. I may add that to the next one but might have to wait for a sale to at least get some relief on the base bag price. The customizations add up but are worth it.

Why do you want to replace your midi Minerva? You don't love it anymore or you just want a change in your closet? Sorry if it's too violated. I'm just curious coz I've been eyeing this bag since forever, but never get to pull the trigger.

You should look at the Bordeaux Tuscania - although it's technically got some red in it, the overall effect is dark brown, in most light. I'm a big deep red/pink/purple/maroon fan, and I found it just a bit too brown for my taste, so you may find it ideal! Check out Bonniekir's photos of her midi Selene.[/QUOTE]
