Oh my gosh. It was like Christmas at my house. I LOVE the Theia. It is so elegant in its simplicity. And the details are wonderful. The Mud color is absolutely the perfect neutral. I have wanted something in that color for year and it does not disappoint. It does not photograph well regarding color. The photo has a rosy tint and the bag is not rosy at all. The outside zipper pocket holds my iPhone 6s plus in the upright position and still zips.
The wide strap is really comfortable and the three options for the strap, short, long and messenger are genius. I am truly not disappointed in the leather, the style or the color.

The bag is NOT small to me. I am 5' 6" and weigh 149. I cannot imagine how big the regular size is.

The Athene in lipstick is just happy. What else can I say. It does have a "plastic" look compared to the other leathers, but it is still beautiful. I will let you know how it holds up being used as a make up bag.

Oh and I love the red lining! And the cuff bracelets. One is lead Africa and the other MM chose for me is the Everose Pompei. Fun, fun, fun.

LOVE all of these! How much is the midi Theia and what are the dimensions, since I still don't see it on the site? Would love to see close ups of the other items as well! Congrats on so many wonderful goodies!!
 
Loving Theia in @southernbelle43 photos! It's definitely one of the underrated styles it seems like. I see one in my future ;D
As far as leathers go, my wishlist is currently:
1) Hot Pink Nappa
2) Oxblood vachetta
3) Dark Green Vacchetta
4) a combination of dark grey with yellow nappas, for some reason it just speaks to me :D
5) one of glitter Pompei's
6) Octane merinos
Now where is that money tree...

the Theia in Verona was 350 euros. Plus I added the red lining and the external pocket. I am not sure how they measure these things, but here is a photo with my measuring tape. Plus close ups of the other items.
It looks like it is about 10 high by 13 wide overall.Height.jpgWidth.jpg

I hope this helps. I am the worse photo taker. I never can find a place with enough light!
 
I'm curious - what leathers are you ladies coveting?

Structured bags are my jam - so for me, it's currently:
  • Light Grey Pompei
  • Dark Grey Flat Calf
  • Dark Brown Vacchetta (had a bag in this leather previously but sold it - still love the leather and would repurchase in a different style)
I tend to buy an MM bag and everyday carry it for months at a time, so I always lean toward neutrals to better go with my wardrobe.
The only one that is on my radar is the dark green vacchetta!! I just cannot decide on a style! However, after receiving the Theia today, I may have decided!!

Hi everyone! Thank you all always for your posts and photos, I love MM, and much credit goes to everyone here. I just wanted to mention that i noticed the Soulmate is not offered on the revamped website? I do remember reading that if you request they would probably make an older style, but I am surprised they would retire it from the ones they actively offer!

I do not think Marco has retired any of his styles. I got an email from him a week or so ago that they are still working on the web site. He gave me the impression that they would be adding back all of the styles.
 
So much fun reading everyone's lists!

1) My ongoing obsession is the green vachetta. Not sure whether I would do better with an Angelica or a Daphne with rolled handles, but that's the core of my wishlist at the moment.
2) Verona is a close second but as pretty as they are, none of the new colors are pulling at me as strongly. If there were a silver verona, I'd drop everything and purchase at least one if not two different styles in it.
3) Pompei glitters are all gorgeous but I have yet to make up my mind which would be the best for my wardrobe. An argument is to be made for the sugarcane in a Stella or Zhoe but the other colors are lovely as well.

So many ideas!!

That lipstick red is AMAZING. Your comment about it feeling a bit plastic, is that all Athene leathers? The Africa leather cuff is especially lovely! Here's hoping he'll have just enough to maybe make another cuff when I inevitably buy another MM at the next sale. [emoji23]

Thank you for these beautiful photos! I am biased, but think that the Verona is a perfect leather for Theia.
Curious to hear how you feel about the Athene as you use your Lipstick Penny midi. The colors in that leather are really compelling.

I’m still able to access the link, for some reason! In case anyone’s looking to read up the details on these older styles…I also can still reach the Selene link, but that’s cause I bookmarked it a long time ago hehe http://www.marcomassaccesi.it/shop/home/63-soulmate.html
