So far I'm ready to order a Penny Messenger in Granite Tuscania. I love this color even more than the midnight blue!

I'm wondering about a midsize bag: possibly the Hera with a top zipper added, and maybe even exchanging the strap/hardware with the Theia (which is much cooler!). It does seem a bit big for me, though, so maybe wait for a midi version? Or maybe another Midi Zip Selene, again with top zip and messenger strap added: but what leather??? So many good choices now....

Those were the exact changes I wanted to make for the Hera, hoping for a midi size too!

Now I am more confused! The midi thea is right up my ally! This is harder. 60% of my bags are hobo because ai just love this shape.. I do not have anything structured ala Zhoe. Should I go with my favorite shape or go for something different? Ie structure bags? Decisions decisions..

The comparison pics in Colette's blog really sold me on the Calista. I really like the slouchiness and I'm sure the bag will look smaller once it is loaded up. So I have a couple of orders from the S/S 2017 collection so I need to stop for awhile. I ordered the Hera in Bluette Merinos with silver hardware and silver lining, Penelope Messenger in Dark Taupe pebbled with detachable long and detachable short straps, Calista in Nude pebbled and the Juliette in River blue vachetta. So excited!

Oohh! The Juliette in River Blue Vachetta sounds divine! Can't wait to see your goodies when it arrives.

Made a mistake re model and Cobblestone!
The Calista is in Cameo Athene ( lengthened strap to a messenger and an outer pocket)
The Theia is coming in the Cobblestone!!
...and finally Cassandra in Denim pebbled .. yes, I like this model :love:
Blue colours I normally stay clear off, but this one and Tuscania Dark blue will go well together with denim..

You read my mind! I'm longing to see a messenger Calista! Please post modeling pic and review when you get it! I'm sure it'd be beautiful!

Lenie those sound gorgeous. I love the Bluette Merino and a Hera will be lovely in that leather. The dark taupe Penelope Messenger also sounds lovely. Wow and a Calista in nude pebble and yikes a Juliette in River blue. What a lovely bunch of new MM bags!!!

Oh wait a minute. I just realized that's the Theia on the blog, not the midi. It doesn't look big at all, looks about the same as a Soulmate midi.

I also thought it was the midi Theia and had to reread and reread to see if it was the full size or the midi. I am pleased I am not the only person that found it a little confusing if the photos were the full size or the midi. It starts off talking about the introduction of the midi and the introduction of the Theia in a smaller size.

I'm probably doing the Cassandra a disservice with these mod shots. This bag in Tuscania leather is really light and the leather moulds to the body so the bag doesn't stick out or look remotely boxy in anyway. I absolutely love this style. It's a spacious messenger and as I love crossbody bags, this is definitely a keeper. The Tuscania leather is just super and Bordeaux a stunning colour.

Great mod shots love the bag on you.

We are on the same wavelength, Vannie. I thought of the same style and combo, too. I won't get it, though. I already have two Penelope messengers in neutrals, grey merinos and taupe pebbled, that should go with my entire wardrobe. If you do get this bag, then I will just enjoy looking at your bag pics.

Me to I will also enjoy looking at your bags. Although the more I look at these Penelope messengers the more I think I should get one.

I love the look of the Theia and I think a midi would be a great size. I must say I do like the Zhoe and the Zhoe Legend. It is a great structured bag and I do not normally go with a structured style. I like the Aphrodite, midi Selene, midi Minerva and midi Soulmate all unstructured. Having used the Zhoe and Zhoe Legend I quite like the structure especially in a smaller bag.

Just a word of caution. I cannot tell you the number of bags (and money) that I have wasted buying something "different" from the style I prefer. If possible get a structured bag and carry it (it won't take long) to see if it works for you. IMHO
