I agree with LuvAllBags both low maintenance but Merino is definitely lighter weight. I love the midi Theia it is my favorite new style for the new spring summer bags from MM.

I never thought I was a blue bag person. Hmmm little did I know. I just went through my MM bags and oh yes to my surprise I found out that I have 7 blue MM bags. You read that correctly SEVEN. I have a turquoise Phoebe, Africa Blue Zhoe, cobalt blue Stella, light blue Zhoe Legend, Celeste Zhoe Legend, Africa blue midi Soulmate, cobalt blue Nubuck midi Soulmate. But I am not a blue bag person who am I kidding!!!
So my next bag as much as I love the new blue leathers I am leaning towards getting the storm green.

MM has a very nice selection of blues. I love blue in general, but always picking something else like brown and pink over blue when it comes to bags coz these goes better with my blue clothes. But I find my blue family is growing, too. [emoji6]
The box is here! I left it with the reception for now. Can't wait until I get to leave the office! [emoji38]
I just wanted to point out that pebbled is more than double the weight of merinos. It's not slightly heavier, it's the heaviest leather before vachetta and merinos the lightest. So quite a difference. Swatches of merinos is 1-2g on the kitchen scale and pebbled varies from 4-5g if memory serves. The nude is the lightest I've had in my hands and only 4g but the other ones I've had are thicker and heavier.
Pebbled is very popular in this group and I've only heard a comment or two here that it was a bit too heavy, most don't find it heavy to carry. Plus I've heard raves about the indestructible durability. You will probably love it, unless weight is a prime concern more so than for most, in which case the merinos and athene/tuscania are the truly lightweight options.
With my last MM bag, my chocolate verona selene midi zip today and feeling totally slouchy and jumbled without my shaper/organizer in there! I miss it and feel totally disheveled like this. Still love the lleather and the bag, even with heavy heavy straps.
I am glad to be reunited with my brown beauty!

That leather grains is amazing! That's the best thing about Verona. I really like it and wish I got it in slouchy style. I think that's the best way to showcase it.
My birthday bag is here! I just can't wait to get home. I drop off DD for her practice and run back to the car to open the package. [emoji16]
A little sneak peek. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
Here she is! I got a Selene Zip Midi in Arctic with silver hardware. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
An apple green lining peek out and the contrast makes my heart sings [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
And I did get her some companions. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] I told you I need color therapy, right? [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] Yay!
I can't wait to go back home and change out! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Artik nappa is so fresh!
And vink I wish I liked slouch. I am just too lazy to deal with the floppy bag falling over needing to be set upright nor the need to hunt for items inside because the slouch creates hiding spaces in the bag. I just want my bags to stand upright and not fall over and show me the entire space inside at a glance so I find what I need immediately. I know I'm in the minority on the non slouch seeking!

Glad it made it back to you with its new straps. Looks great! Love the contrast with the marine lining.
Yes, I found the pebbled to be too heavy but most here love it. I do love the durability of it but if I'm going to consider a heavier bag, I'm more than likely going for vachetta.
