Yes metallic and shiny and no the deep blue is not gray undertoned. Deep blue is a good name for it. Like a Sapphire!

oh wow, quick - thanks! now I just have to measure the strap length. I have a long train commute, so I need to be sure I can wear this cross body comfortable. I like my crossbody bags to fall lower - on the hip or just above.....THANKS!
So it looks like the maximum strap length is 44 inches - does anyone know if this *includes* the extra 3 inches that be added on for an additional charge? I am trying to determine if this is a max of 44 or 47....maybe I need to contact the company....and since the strap is adjustable...I wonder if it's measured from the last hole on the strap,...such a geek I am.

The biscotti and sage are a fabulous combo! Great choice!
Yes, all the Africas have a metallic "flavor" to them, though some seem more reflective than others. The look of the Deep Blue seems to change a lot, depending on the lighting and what it is placed next to or near. I have seen it as an inky blue, almost black, shades of grey, hints of green, and almost silver!
I personally love this quality about it, and though I usually dislike "bling" especially in leathers, I find this very classy and can wear it with almost anything and on any occasion. It attracts many compliments, and the design of the Arianna will really be enhanced by it, imho. If I had more disposable income, I'd definitely be wanting another bag with this leather, but in the meantime I'm going to enjoy the photo you posted!
Ooh! The Verona leather really "elevates" this bag! I've been thinking of the Penny Messenger as a little run-around purse, but yours has a lot of presence, and it's almost a statement piece, but a refined one. Definitely has a "wow" factor!
Is the Verona leather very shiny? I find that the Venezia and Athene leathers are a little too "plasticky" (shiny and/or stiff) for my taste, and the Tuscania a little too matte in some colors though I love the "distressed" imprint. I love deep rich blues, and this one is really appealing.
Congratulations on a gorgeous combination of leather, hardware and purse style, and I love the idea of having two different removable straps!
I find it totally comfortable as a cross body, as well as on the shoulder. I'm 5'5" but with a disproportionately long torso, and a size 16-18. I often have my hands full with other stuff, so the cross body is very important to me.
Concrats with your lovely summerly bag with the surprise lining!!
The model is easy and light to wear. And it nice that new combos change the look completely!!
Thank you very much. [emoji4] I'm loving her so much right now. [emoji4]
Thank you so much! No problem at all. Your mud Calista is beautiful! If I do not already have a Noix City from years ago, I'd definitely jump on that. It's a very beautiful and versatile shade of brown. I love it, but I already have too many brown I want to branch out. [emoji20]
It's really a happy combo. [emoji4] I haven't worn her with a zip down yet. I like that the silver zippers give a nice and sharp contrast while stay polish. And yes, I did get a Jade Merino little Penelope and Cameo Rose merino Penelope midi. They really do color my day. [emoji38]
Thank you very much for all these photo. I hope you get enough rest and feel better soon. [emoji4]
Thank you for the photo and you wear it well. I hope the busy time will pass soon. [emoji6]
I dressed up my bag a bit yesterday. Please excuse the plastic bag peeking out. [emoji28]
The Minerva style looks so good in Tuscania. I can imagine it paired with a short flowery dress and pretty sandals. Have fun wearing her, Luv!
Very pretty, cool blue! It reminds me of the sky after it snowed on very cold days when I lived on the East coast.
