No there is enough for one more handbag any style that he has left. A friend of mine wanted a bag in this leather but decided to go with Sorrento instead of the Persian Green metallic.

I could easily have put the Little Miss M in my top three favorite bags. I think I remember posting after I received it that I could not believe I waited so long to try that style. It is understated compared to many of his other styles, but it is so easy to use and carry. I agree it is very classy.
Indeed I do! I just got in in the last month. If you’d like any info about the Star backpack, happy to provide.
Oh yes please and thank you @girliegirl !! How are you enjoying the star backpack? What do you usually fit and carry it for? I’m a mum to a one year old and since I’ve got a few totes and crossbody style from mm (X2 selene,soulmate, mini zhoe, zhoe legend, pene crossbody, aura) I thought I would try a backpack! Just not sure how much use I would get out of it
So interesting that you have had the same ponderings over Angel straps as me, @christinemliu
.Usually, I go for as little hardware as possible on my bags. But I do feel the Angel straps would visually benefit from some sort of addition.
I'm leaning towards elongated Siena handles, but need to be certain thal these straps would be comfortable on my shoulder. I wonder if they are similar in shape to Longchamp Pliage handles?
Also, I have just realized that the buckle of the Aura strap might be a possibility

Yes, that would be lovelyI love colorblocked antique pink and grey too. This weeks purseforum roundup on purseblog has this lovely picture of different grey birkins and kellys with pink twillys that is
Every few months, I decide I want an Angel Midi. And then, for some reason, I decide against it.
I have finally figured out why. The handles!
I love the bag, especially the non-tassel version. But I am not keen on the appearance of the handles (they do look comfy, though).
I'm sure Marco would make whatever MM handles I ask for.
But I'm finding it really difficult to choose. I've made a sort of compilation of options:

but I am non the wiser. I am unable to envision how these handles would look on Angel. Maybe I should just stick with the regular Angel handles..
Any suggestions? I'd be really grateful for any input, opinions or ideas!
I have an Angela Midi and I stick with the original handles, however I lengthen it 2in and it's perfect. one of my favorite bags!Every few months, I decide I want an Angel Midi. And then, for some reason, I decide against it

All this talk of both Little Miss M and the Angel midi is peaking my interest again. I have looked at those two styles but never taken the plunge and bought either of them. I am sorely tempted especially with this beautiful Sorrento goat leather.
My handle thoughts were somewhat influenced by @tenKrat, because I believe at some point she had mentioned sometimes wondering what to do with the handles. I did see in one pic that she tucks them inward sometimes, which is a nice and neat solution.So interesting that you have had the same ponderings over Angel straps as me, @christinemliu

Would the buckle on the Aura strap though compromise the access to the exterior pockets a little? I'm just thinking if you kept your phone in one of those pockets.
Here is a pic of elongated Siena handles, I grabbed it from the website but I think it's @TotinScience's bag...sorry if I am mistaken!:
Marco's straps usually are comfortable, but I think the softer leathers (like it seems Sorrento is) would mold more, like the Longchamp handles do and be even more comfortable? Just a thought. Maybe @TotinScience has experience with her straps.
I'm kind of excited to see what you decide on, because maybe I would do the same on a future order haha! However, like @djfmn, the Miss M talk is also making me interested in that style...or if Marco does come out with a camera crossbody style, I would really be interested too. I have long admired the Gucci Soho Disco shape, though I didn't like the huge letters. I don't have anything like that at the moment...I am thinking many of us are doing more quick errand types these days and are using smaller bags more as well.

Wow, that is one cool and unusual Siena! Will the owner please tell us whether the "shoulder handles" are comfy?
I see your point, @christinemliu, about buckles getting in the way. Although I don't think I'd use the front pockets for my phone, I'd probably use the rear pocket. Hmm... What would I be putting in the front pockets...
Actually, since I started using Penelope Midis in Fiore I hardly use pockets
. So I'm not absolutely certain why I want a bag with loads of pockets 
. What's more, I envision it in a leather Marco no longer has,- Chocolate Verona!Oh dear, the crazy obsession of bags ...

I have both styles, Miss M & Angel Midi. Love them both! Miss M is very structured in Blue Pompei, while my angel in Crystal Pink Merinos is super slouchy!
I keep mine stuffed with the same stuffing that Marco shipped it in. It will soften a bit over time, so I think keeping quite a bit of stuffing in it helps it keep its shape. I have several Soulmates/Midi Soulmates. I store them together on a shelf and kind of let them lean onto each other.My first 'white box from Italy' arrived today. Soulmate-Midi. Persian green metallic leather. Black lining. Dark gunmetal hardware. No center compartment. The Persian green metallic is everything...
Advice, please. How much filler/stuffing should I use when storing the soulmate in a metallic leather? @coach943
My second box should arrive next week. I bought them separately, and paid separate shipping. Each bag was under the customs limit. Together they'd be well over the customs limit. The extra shipping cost was much less than the customs charge if they were ordered and shipped together. Just a thought when you order...

I love the dark gunmetal hardware. It is so beautiful! Enjoy it!
That is, in fact, my Siena with 10 inch handles in Sauro Tan VachettaWow, that is one cool and unusual Siena! Will the owner please tell us whether the "shoulder handles" are comfy?

. I don't wear it often, but it is my forever bag because nothing beats it for traveling with a laptop (traveling - remember her? lol). Straps are actually fairly comfortable, despite it being a very heavy bag when it's fully loaded with all my stuff. They also softened quite a bit, since Vachetta relaxes with age. I imagine in a softer leather to begin with, they might be even more comfortable and floppy.
