Massaccesi Handbags

[HopelessBagGirl]

I agree, Don’t be afraid! I have a mid sized bag in the pewter crash leather Odebdo refers to and find it is a very versatile colour, not blingy at all.
However I’m restricting myself to little bags this time, platinum Stella and teal phoebe - trying to save a few pennies!

So....this is NOT the same as the diamond leather....but it is very similar per Marco....a while back he had a limited leather run of leathers some of us familiar with his work in another brand before he launched Massaccesi used...crash leathers. I loved them, and loved the idea of getting the leather in a favorite MM style...I got it out today as rain is in the forecast and I am contemplating my diamond order...

Do not be afraid of what you think is “blingy” Leather...it can work super well even in larger styles!!

My midi soulmate in pewter leather...again, NOT diamond but same family of leathers!

And just the MM pretties inside, chocolate pebbles flora as a wallet and little Penelope in plum Verona as a key pouch.

Wow it's a super gorgeous leather. Thanks for sharing that pic!! It's verrrry tempting especially with the sale, but I think I'm going to stick with my original plan of ordering a bag in Venezia. I'm almost completely saved up for my Selene! I'll probably order it some time in the next week or two!!

I placed an order too, even though I should have been on a ban island.. Oh well! [emoji56] I have admired a Givenchy mini Antigona in rose gold, but it costs over 1400 euros so it’a no go. When I saw this promo I just couldn’t resist! I don’t have any metallic bag in my collection either.

I ordered an everose Zhoe with pink lining and light gunmetal hardware and a bracelet in the same leather. [emoji4]

And that will be way more gorgeous than the Givenchy !! And quality is as good if not better. Please post pictures of that beauty when you get it.

It’s a Sabrina kind of week!

Love the combination with your shoes! Is this the beautiful orange and lead Sabrina???

Is the leather softening with use? My bracelet was very stiff at first but after working with it then wearing it, it's becoming more pliable .

I have only carried it once. I scratched the darn thing gettng it out to look at it. I have to be honest and say my silver glitter Alexia is not my favorite MM bag. I am debating sellng it if anyone is interested. The style which I think is really unique and lovely may not work for me.

When they look as gorgeous as yours do, any week is a Sabrina week. You are so very creative with your designs.
PS love the shoes!!!!

What don't you like about it? Too small, too stiff, etc ? I go back and forth about it. It would definitely be a different style for me. I wonder if it would slouch and look smaller in the diamond leather vs pompei. The small is too small but I think the regular is slightly too big.

I think it is the stiffness of it that bothers me. The size is perfect for what I carry. I don’t know if MM added structure to it? I suppose you could ask.

I'm hoping my everose Grande Aura softens up. It may as I could barely clasp my pompei cuff bracelet at first but since bending and working the leather it's fine. Maybe your Alexia will soften with use.

I like Alexia for its modern look, too, @lenie. I really like your Everose Pompei Aphrodite, very pretty. Aphrodite is the only north-south bag I like.

 

[tenKrat]

I like it with the shoulder strap on you. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] Maybe it’ll work as a crossbody? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

It looks fine worn crossbody. I’ll try to take a pic sometime this weekend for you.

Pompei is quite stiff. I don’t know yet if it will soften, but I suspect not to a similar degree that other types of leather would. I like Pompei because I foresee that it will maintain the shape of a structured bag quite well.

An Alexia with any degree of slouch will not look as good in my opinion.

Sorry to hear that your Alexia Midi isn’t a home run for you.

If it does I will like it. I should carry it more and see.

Marco said he could use a softer backing to make the Alexia slouch a bit. It would still be structured but not as boxy. That may make it work better for me.
