Massaccesi Handbags

Thanks for this review! I just got my first floras and was wondering how else I could use them. I love your idea of combining a Flora with the card case. I had no idea one fit inside the other! One more thing for my MM wish list. [emoji6] [emoji28]

You are welcome!~
Yes the cardholder fits with plenty of room to spare. It is really svelte and compact. I like it in the flora as a full wallet/essentials kit inside larger bags, and then if I switch into a smaller bag, like an aura, I can take just the cardholder into it, and I can grab the cash/cards out of the flora if I think I’ll need them, and stick them into the zippered compartment of the card case. All the little ‘essentials’ like headphones, lip balm, keys, can easily fit into the interior zippered compartment of an aura so I know where they are. It’s handy for me as these days I am alternating between small crossbody like an aura or penny messenger pretty regularly, and then often going into a bigger bag, so being able to have the big WOC/wristlet that is easily found in a large bag is nice, but then getting to shrink the arrangement by downsizing to just the card holder for the occasional use of small bags is great.

Since we are talking Zhoe Legend, how long is the strap? I want to be able to wear it crossbody but not have it come too high up on my hip. Would Merinos be a good leather? Part of me wants oxblood or dark brown vachetta, the other part is whispering that I love Merinos leathers more. Help.

I can't measure now but I seem to recall it fell a bit higher than I would like. I'm almost 5'4". This is with the all leather strap I requested.

I have no experience with Merinos in structured bag and I'm curious as well.

I'm only 5 feet, so I had to adjust the strap for it not to be too low on me for crossbody. Sorry I cant measure right now. I prefer to just cross the strap under the flap so that I get a short strap to carry on my shoulder. [emoji5]

My legend is in merinos. I think Marco put backing in it because it feels sturdy and "stiff". I don't see it softening at all.

Those who have the croc embossed, how do you like it? Thinking about a Stella in the croc.

I own a Zhoe in brown croco and I like the leather. I enjoy the embossed texture because I feel it gives something interesting, something extra, something kapow to the design without being blingy.

I did get the color blocked Zhoe earlier this year. Enjoy!

Here she is: Deep violet merinos with turquoise nappa, turquoise stitching and edge paint.

Exquisite. Is the leather of the side gussets also turquoise?

Yes the side gussets are turquiose nappa.

Mine sits higher then I like. I wish I had added the extra 3 in. I definitely wouldn't be able to wear it with thick winter jacket. The same goes for the Zhoe

Tell me about your overall thoughts on the Aura. what you wish is added etc. I am holding off purchasing it until mid next year.

Well I just realized I didn't get Floras. I got Phoebes! [emoji50] I'm dense some days... Now I will go and check the difference in dimensions to see if things fit in the Phoebe just as nicely as in the Flora. [emoji28] [emoji12]

I love my Aura and use it a lot for social occasions. I’m 5’2” with a short torso and the strap length is perfect for me as a shoulder bag. For cross body wear you might want it longer. I added an external slip pocket which works really well in this style. Mine is in the Verona leather but has kept its shape well even as the leather softened.

I’m 5’4” and I wear my bags crossbody so I ordered mine with an extended strap length and I keep it on the middle hole on both side and they’re good and I feel like I have options on days that I want it to be longer. I also add a back slip pocket on mine, too, just so I can get my mobile easily.

Can you please show a photo of the sides of the bag so we can see the different colors. I really love your bag it's the only Color blocked bag that I would consider purchasing. I really love the color choice you made and the style of the bag it's perfect.
