I'm so looking forward to the new satchel to be released soon. At least Marco told me to stay tuned when I asked him.

I think so but not sure. I asked about a school satchel and he answered: "A new style that I adore is finally ready to debut. Stay tuned."
Thank you all! It's hard to know without seeing and feeling the leathers in person. I believe Marco is going to send me samples, which will help. In any case, from all the photos I've seen, the Pompei and Flat Calf are too smooth. I like a bit of texture, something like Saffiano. Shame about the Merinos. I actually love the look of the Pebbled, but perhaps it will be too soft and collapsable too. Perhaps the Vacchetta then... I'm most interested in the Midi Divina, Little Miss M and Modena styles. If anyone has all three, it would be great to see a side-by-side comparison so I can gauge the sizes.
About the nature of leather, it really depends on the bag too. You will see structured bags like the Zhoe and Aura made with merinos and pebbled and they keep their structure. So it depends on the bag. Midi Divina and Miss M are very structured designs, and will likely keep their shapes no matter what leather you choose. Modena is a wonderful tote (just carried it today) but will soften unless made with a very stiff leather like Pompeii. Yup, it’s confusing! After a few bags, you get the feel of it...
Also, if you’re wondering where all the bag trading is taking place, it’s our Facebook group, Massaccesi BST.
I don’t have the Little Miss M but hope these photos of the Modena and Midi Divina (with Selene straps) will help.Thank you all! It's hard to know without seeing and feeling the leathers in person.

@HopelessBagGirl I love this bag - definitely one of my favourites!

I have read the workshop posts but I still would love to see the workshop area were he stores all the materials. I can't imagine what a riot of color it must be. How cool your Miss Miss M was the one featured. I wish Marco or Colette would do more of those things. Hey, if Marco needs a volunteer guest blogger/content marketer, I am game for a trip to Italy!
Thank you dear! I am so Marco is able to make all our handbag dreams a reality. That peachy pink nappa is TDF. I know I was gung ho about hot pink and he delivered, but I got side tracked with this special order color. There is no doubt I am still thinking of a hot pink Little Zhoe as my next bag.
Gorgeous! I love the Modena in Aquila Matte! And I don’t know if I said this before, but HBG, it was pretty genius to put the Selene straps on the Divina so they fold down for crossbody wear.

It would be so fun to visit the tanneries and leather warehouse. I imagine it would be like Project Runway when the designers go to Mood. And +1 on that peachy pink nappa! Ever since I saw djfmn’s bag, i’ve been trying to figure out what bag I could make in that color. But of course, I also feel the same about the China Blue Athene and a bunch of other leathers. Maybe the aforementioned new satchel design will spark inspiration. Like when the Modena came out, I knew immediately what leathers I would use for it.
My new Zhoe in everose diamond leather arrived today! The light gunmetal hardware goes well with the leather.
And I’m really looking forward to a school satchel style! [emoji3]

That diamond leather is really special. I love that you went bold with a sizable bag in a metallic! (In general, I've noticed the MM ladies are not shy about color or texture!) Can't wait to see some mod shots.
Tulipano! How cute! According to the blog there appears to be more Pompei colors too.http://fortheloveofmassaccesi.blogspot.com/2018/04/tulipano-glorious-tulipano-lovely.html?m=1
