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]

Thanks Vink, this is super helpful. At first I was leaning towards Biscotti as I thought Cobblestone was "too" distressed. But I had that thought initially about Whiskey and I was so wrong about that. I really like the Cobblestone, not that I don't like the Biscotti but it could be a little light for a bag that I intend to wear crossbody. I am always worried about denim transfer!

Here are pictures of the Penelope messenger in Dark Taupe pebbled leather. I had an additional shorter strap made so I could use it as a hand held or just under the arm shoulder for slightly dressier options. I really like the dark taupe pebbled- it's a great neutral that goes with everything and is not black or brown.

I shortened the strap on mine, but I like yours better... Even shorter

For me the Biscotti has a good deal more yellow in it, whereas the Cobblestone is more neutral tan- nidh! I have had a lot of Tan bags, so this why I turned towsrds rhe Cobblestone! Sorry for lousy spelling , but I am actually not supposed to use my hand, and the index finger is shaking like crazy! Lol !!

Anyone with Juliet, what's your thought on the bag, especially size comparing with Selene Midi?
TIA!
Click to expand...

The Juliet is bigger than the Midi Selene. The bottom depth is wider so it can hold more. However, it does slouch a little when you put your things in so it doesn't seem as big when it is stuffed. I think it is a very different look compared to the Selene. The Selene is more of a tote and seems a little more casual. You can also carry the Selene by hand or on your shoulders. The Juliette is a true satchel that seems a little more elegant/ refined/ dressy. It can only be hand held with the handles or shoulder/cross body with the longer strap. I think the Juliette is very similar to the LV Speedy( especially in how the Speedy looks and feels in leather).

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.

I cannot wait to see the Calista in Tobacco Aquila matte leather and your Penelope. They both sound amazing.

Thanks Bonnie, this is really helpful. I am looking for something with less yellow undertones, more of a neutral so it looks like Cobblestone is the way to go. At one point I was all about colour and now I seem to be going back to what I consider are my neutrals which are very specific blue, brown and grey tones.

They say if you write it, it will come so...I'd like a Cobblestone Tuscania Calista, a Dark Brown Tuscania Theia and a Midnight Blue Tuscania Cassandra. Dark Gunmetal hardware on the Theia and Cassandra. Now, I just need to go and water and talk to my Money Tree seedling. :smile:

Van, can you please, please send me a cutting from your money tree? Mine has died from over-picking! :biggrin:

In other news, Colette has sent me some swatches for me to cook up the next colorblocked MM bag. I'm thinking a Grande Aura, but a Rua Angelica might also work. Or gasp-both! :panic:This thread is dangerous to both my wallet and sanity. I will spend the next few days obsessing over which colors to choose. Hopefully I won't anger Marco with my color combos!

Oooh!! This is exciting. What are the swatches? What combos are you thinking? I might have exaggerated my money tree. Right now, I planted a seed and am watering the earth. No sign of twig or leaf yet but as soon as it sprouts, I'll let you know. :)
