Finally received my Black Friday order from Massaccesi. I had it delivered to France since a sister was going there. And now the bag is here!! It's the midi Minerva in Red Cherry nappa leather.

Here are modshots. The bag has not softened/slouched yet since it is straight from the box. It's also empty in the pictures.

I almost forgot I ordered a red bag and actually inquired about a red Balenciaga Neo Folk yesterday from a local seller. I think this Massaccesi will work for a big crossbody bag during travels and I will not need that Bal!
Btw, this is my office uniform made from a local fabric that is close to linen.
ETA: Oops, sorry, I think I attached the picture 2x.

Looks great! I like the versatility in how you can wear it too.

I like that you can wear it on the shoulder and crossbody. I also love that it has feet.

So I'm bummed. I fell in love with the Vintage Coach Stewardess bags - looked for a couple of months, found one on Posh and hubs encouraged me to go for it as Christmas to myself.

Well it arrived today. It was described as a "messenger" but it does NOT go across my body. That's is what it means - messenger right? I took it to mean larger style crossbody. And it is the modern take not the vintage one.

I've submitted for a return, and am afraid it won't happen. Which means this beautiful purse became a shoulder bag, which I have never been good at rocking.

This bag will sit there taunting me. I feel foolish and misled. :sad:

[please ignore the mess. Please and thank you]
I'm so sorry this happened. I would fight it like Sparkle suggested as it is definitely not a messenger. Best of luck with the return.

Congrats on the sales!! For the Mirabeau, I love Epi, but I would worry that the smooth leather on the bottom of the bag would get dinged up. When I had a Black Epi Alma, the smooth leather around the bottom kept getting white marks on it when I would carry the bag. It drove me crazy. Plus, the Mirabeau's shoulder strap is not very wide and it may get uncomfortable if you put a laptop and other items in the bag. Does that help?



Very pretty!



Love the Bays! It has such a classic style.



Definitely not too boring to me. I love saddle bags and the leather looks great. Plus, it sounds like it is the perfect size bag for you,



Love Indigo!



Very pretty!



This bag has a really interesting look. Is the main portion of the bag suede?



I love quilts and the color looks pretty. But, what kind of makeup bag are you looking for? Just leather? What about color? Or size?



I'm sorry that the Stewardess bag doesn't work for you. Hopefully your return will get approved!
Hi LV,
It is a distressed leather also it has long strap so you can crossbody it. I'm out of it today.
 
Sparkle -I like cheap pouches too. I have LV pouches but there is no way I would ever put my lip gloss in them. I always get freebee bags when I buy makeup from Estee Lauder. When they get grubby I just toss them. I use my pouchette 26 as a clutch and my pouchette accessories with the long strap I had made for it as a crossbody and they are both counted as handbags in my collection. That is why my count is so high because I count everything other then luggage.

Just thought of something. Could you call Coach and see if they can sell you a longer strap for it?
