Well I planned to carry the Selene midi for a week while keeping the Soulmate midi in the closet. But I could not stand it. I carried the Selene last night and this morning to my volunteer job and just had to change to the Soulmate this afternoon to see how it worked for me. i was really unsure if this style would work for me. But the more I use it and touch it and carry it, the more it grows on me. It just might become my favorite style even though I have always preferred a wide open top that was easy to reach into. The way this is designed I find that I know what item I am looking for and know whether it is in the middle or one of the sides and that makes it easy to find (if that makes sense). Plus the drape of the leather is just so darn cool!!!

It definitely makes sense. You just articulated why I love the Soulmate so much. It keeps me organized, and my valuables secure.

I also love the Soulmate I have the midi and ditto this is exactly why I like this style. I have 5 Midi Soulmate bags I definitely love the style.
 
I just received my Calista in Tobacco Aquila matte leather and Penelope Messenger in Dark Taupe pebbled. I also ordered a shorter strap for the Penelope messenger so I can hold it in my hand or just under my arm. The Aquila leather is beautiful! Pictures to come.
Oh, please do!! I now remember my third choise of colour was the Tobacco also in Calista, so I am very curious!!! Congrats with your new bags!

Yay! How do you feel about the leather? Compare to Merino?
 
Since I'm also still deciding on brown Tuscania and someone here ask if anyone has a comparison shot between Biscotti and Cobblestone, I decided to ask Colette.

Here it is.

The biscotti is on the left and cobblestone is on the right. Good luck deciding. It's a hard decision for me, too. [emoji4] I feel like I'm going back to square one. [emoji28]
 
Here are some pics of the Calista in Tobacco Aquila matte leather. I love the color and texture!

Stunning bags, Lenie. The close up of the Aquila Matte reminds me strongly of the texture of some matte leather I had on a bag from the designer Marco previously worked with. This bag, the leather texture and the colour are fantastic. Enjoy!!
