I have the Juliette in River Blue vachetta. I posted pics when I received it. What kind of information do you need?
I saw someone wearing this bag crossbody today. The Theia immediately came to mind.

Here are a few quick photos in indirect daylight (partly cloudy) of my new Midi Zip Selene in Granite Tuscania, with silver hardware and Marine lining. Yes, that lining that I agonized over! I also customized the bag with a messenger strap and a top zipper closure, essential for me on those NYC days. I also asked for a heavier backing for the leather so that it doesn't completely collapse just yet, though it's already less upright than when it first arrived. Maybe it's the light color giving it more presence on these Spring days, but it seems visually larger than my one in Deep Blue Africa; just an observation that may make a difference to some.
This leather is gorgeous, and the Tuscania's distressing is just the right amount, with just a very slight sheen which highlights it, in the right light. Much like the Africa leathers, this Tuscania seems to change color depending on the lighting and surroundings. Sometimes there's more blue in there, other times a hint of lilac or aqua, and in direct light it's an almost dazzling clear light grey. These photos definitely skew to the lilac end (iPad camera); reality right now is more of a clear grey. Absolutely no taupe shades though, or at least none that I have caught so far. No wonder I had problems figuring out the best lining color! The red would have been gorgeous too, but I simply adore the Marine - as does everyone who has seen the bag so far. The only thing I'm not so sure about is Marco's choice of zipper color: it's definitely a blue fabric, not a grey, and it is more of a light denim blue than an aqua one (to coordinate with the lining). The photo doesn't quite convey the blue-ness of the zipper, but you get the idea.
And yes, my second Midi Zip Selene confirms my opinion that this bag has a much more useful capacity than the Arianna, and it's much more casual in feel. I love that it will fit a legal pad inside with the zipper closed. It will certainly be my go to bag for summer running around!

Yes, I was. But anyway, I think maybe I would have preferred light gunmetal hardware, but OTOH I've always thought that was so close to silver that it wasn't worth springing the extra cash. These customizations soon add up!
I love this bag what a great color leather and the lining is gorgeous. I am particularly partial to the Midi Selene. One of my favorite MM styles along with the midi Soulmate.
Just love the color. The Tuscan Ina leather is my favorite after merino
I think it look great. [emoji4] And I mean both the zippers and the bag itself. [emoji4]
Yay! Would you mind posting some comparison between Juliet and Selene Zip Midi? And probably what fits and mod shot? [emoji4] TIA!
My midi Selene has the top zipper, and I wouldn't have it otherwise. I just wouldn't feel secure, both from worries of dumping everything out accidentally, and from thieving fingers.
