Thank you for the info. I don't mind that. [emoji16] I don't have any Nappa to compare with. [emoji16] I just want to have a slouchy tote and I just love this color. I just hope it'll be as good as I dream of. (I hope I'm not asking for too much. [emoji16])
I have a Diva in the dark grey Nappa and I love the leather. It is a thickish leather but my Diva has a nice slouch to it.
 
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!

That Daphne is a beautiful bag [emoji173]️

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.

Love your bags. The Penelope is gorgeous. I am loving the Daphne more and more each time I see a photo of it. Enjoy these lovely new bags.

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.
Really just personal preference. I like that Cassandra is more rectangular vs the minnie being wider at the base. Though I am on the fence with Cassandra because she looks a little big. I'm really more of a medium bag person. I wish I can try on before purchase! With the minnie, I just think it looks better as a shoulder bag with the short strap than to use the long strap. But the short strap always slips off my shoulders.

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.

I love the Bordeaux Tuscania! It's a gorgeous red! But I have so many red bags lately. I'm looking for a true dark brown so that the bag can have a vintage feel? I can't seem to think of how to describe what I'm going for.

Thank you so much! It's a simple silhouette which I prefer in bags.

Thank you djfmn! I'm very pleased with the leather selections this time around which can be such a gamble to order without seeing it first.

I see. I'm a medium bag girl, too. [emoji4] That's why I'm hesitating on many designs here. My shoulders can't take big bags anymore and a too-small ones just not practical for everyday. So, as much as I'm liking many of the designs, I have to be careful.

I want a diva in napa too. But at the moment, there's nothing that I like in the Napa leather yet. I'm just gonna wait for new Napa colors.
Right I am figuring out what I want in the Bluette Merino...
1. Selene Zipped Midi or
2. Zhoe Legend

Just the other day I was wearing my Zhoe Legend. I really like her design. I just don't it use it much because I am not much of a shoulder bag person.

Anyone own tuscania and Athene? They look similar but I'm wondering if their textures/weights/durability are similar too [emoji848]

I had a tuscania bag for half a day. My order was mixed up and executed incorrectly so I was told to send it back so I didn't have it long but it is far more distressed and matte than my athene Arianna. Otherwise the same.
