Another thing that I would love to have comments on is the Selene midi with and without the zippered front, pros and cons. I do not carry much in my bags and I have two organizers, one small, one medium, that I use because I switch bags so often, usually daily. So the front zippers for me would be strictly esthetic. I think the zippers can add a little "bling" to the front of the purse, e.g., if I used the silver HW with the ruby red leather. I would love to hear your thoughts.

If you are ok with a slightly extra wieght the zippers will add to the bling effect!! I personally have different types of Selenes depending on my errands. 1) Selene midi only with messenger, no handles, zippered pockets and a zippered closure when, I go for a town trip . My hands are free, can enjoy window shopping , not thinking about stuff falling out of my bag, and keys etc safe in side pockets. 2) Selene with mes strap/ w handles and slip pocket is good, when I have a purpose.. like going to supermarket/ visting the docs . I might need to take off my coat , so great with the handles, might need fast access to papers, so no need to fiddle with a zipper closure etc.
So it depends on the main need of your bag! ... and if you have no main reason .. I would personally love the 'bling' effect !

Anybody with Zhoe Legend, are you guys still loving it? Can you share pics? I'm torn between the Zhoe Legend in Bluette Merinos or Theia in similar leather...

Yes I'm still loving my Zhoe Legend! But I'm not really a shoulder bag girl that's why it's rarely used. Otherwise I'm sure I'd wear it a lot. I'm just crazy about how smooth and solid it's flap is. Here are some old photos I dug up. Mine is in a calf leather that is not part of Marco's usual leathers. I was looking for a cream bag and after much going back and forth on available leathers, he offered me this. I think I got this in 2015. This is with the all leather strap option as opposed to chain-leather combo. And by the way, even if it gets water drops, the marks disappear when they dry. My only issue with it is the creasing of the backing at the side as pictured below.

Come to think about it, you're right. I have an Angelica coming. I should see how it look. [emoji848]

But please... I'm sure your photo will be great help! [emoji4]

What helpful information. Thank you for taking the time to post this! I had not even considered the purpose.

I don't really "use" the pockets: one holds a couple of plastic bags for emergencies of one sort or another, and the other holds the messenger strap when not in use. I've also stuffed a mini umbrella inside. But I don't really think about putting stuff in there, just in the body. For me those zippers subtly add "edge" to a beautifully built bag! AND don't forget they are only on one side of the bag, so you can decide whether they are on dispay or not. Silver with ruby will be breathtaking!

Thank you for your input. All of these postings are really helping with my decision.

Here is the Juliette in River Blue vachetta. She is so elegant and refined! The leather will soften with time but still hold her shape. The Juliette is classy and timeless. I have also taken comparison pics with Rua Angelica in Deep Blue Africa.

Here is the Calista in Nude pebbled leather. I love how she hugs the body and is elegantly simple. Because she slouches, she feels and looks smaller than actual dimensions. I have taken comparison pics with Midi Minerva in dark taupe vachetta.
