i rather think that you are the "classic" one. I have three black bags and another on my radar screen that I would buy in a second if the money tree would bloom!!! Love those black bags!!

Ah, yes, the money tree. I suffer from its lack of fruit also. It’s a busy time for me, but it’s last call for the Aquila Matte leather, so I did it!

Sigh. I ordered two MM cuffs when Marco did the promotion but did not order a bag, so I had to pay for both AND pay the 25 Euros express shipping fee. My cuffs were scheduled to arrive on the 13th and are still not here. Marco contacted TNT who said they got stuck in customs and would be here two days later. That was early last week. When they did not arrive by Saturday, I opened an investigation with FedEx. All their tracking shows is that the package was released on April 13th in Memphis, TN, and “No scheduled delivery date [is] available at this time.” FedEx was supposed to contact me today, since the Memphis facility was closed when they got back to me on Saturday. So far no call and no update on the tracking information. I assume it is lost at this point.

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since my last post. I've been on a mini-ban, but have been here lurking and admiring everyone else's beautiful bags. Well, my birthday is coming again, and I'm going to order my husband's birthday gift to me.

I'm wavering between a Victoria (in Light Ocher Verona if Marco is able to locate more at the tannery...if he can't get anymore, then I'd order the bag in dark taupe pebbled), or a grande Aura in a yet-to-be-determined color/leather. I would only want the grande Aura if I could shorten the shoulder strap a bit and add a single Juliette-type handle on the top of the bag. This would allow me to carry by the bag hand if need be. Do you think this would work? I usually carry large totes (hence my attraction to Victoria), but I'm starting a new job that calls for me to carry less on a daily basis.

Thanks for your insights everyone!

I'm no bag maker, but I'm wondering if a top handle on the grande aura would cause the bag to fold in on itself due to its large size and the weight distribution? Perhaps a strap that goes across most of the top, like in this attached photo of a ferragamo bag? Or maybe even a very short detachable shoulder strap that's short enough to act as a top handle. If the short strap were a chain it would also act a pretty accent! Either way, Marco would be the one to know the best way of constructing :) Can't wait to see what you order!

I'm curious to know if Marco will agree to the top handle. I would be interested too.

I hope your order is not lost after all!

Really sorry for your struggle! However, @southernbelle43 recently had a similar experience (also with a Memphis Fedex) and Marco's bag, and it ultimately made its way to her safe and sound!
I had a minor scare with delivery of my Demetra - the Fedex driver accidentally delivered it at a house of identical number, just one street down, which happens to be an HQ of a major local newspaper :D. Luckily, it was resolved the following morning - but it is so frustrating when one of a kind and potentially irreplaceable item gets lost in transit :(

AND I have something that was shipped on the 16th and is still not here! I lost the trackng number, so I am having Marco send it to me again so I can track the darn thing down. Sure wish he would go back to DSL. Sigh.

Call Sabrina owners!

Today I received my Sabrina Midi and I have concerns regarding the edge glazing/sealant.

I am attaching two photos showing the edges of the flaps of my Sabrina Midi. The two pieces of leather that are sandwiched together are not sealed and finished. The edges are notably rough and course to the touch. I can see the raw leather on the edge. Is this how it is supposed to be?

The inside edge of the circle cut-out are finished and sealed nicely. I would have thought all the edges would be like this.

Please look at your Sabrina and tell me if yours is like this. 20180424_021652853_iOS.jpg

So sorry you are dealing with this.

I'm new to MM and have been poring over all your photos and learning what I can about the leathers and styles, as I'm looking to get a medium-sized, structured tote in a hardwearing leather (well, more that one probably!) I contacted MM with my queries and Marco replied saying that all the styles are still available, even if they're not on the website - which is great, but sort of unhelpful for a newbie. I haven't been able to find the dimensions of the Midi Divina or Little Miss M, can someone help? He also suggested Pompei or Flat Calf for a more structured bag, can you tell me the differences between these two? I want a bag that won't collapse and crease, but also won't mark and scratch easily and was thinking the Merinos was a happy medium. Not a fan of anything super textured, or too smooth and shiny! I'll get this all figured out eventually!
