Tulipano! Wow that's a stunner! If I'm being honest, I would say there haven't been a lot of the newer MM designs that have appealed to me, but this one, especially if it were to be offered in a Midi size, would be on my must-have list.

It will be a while before I can order a Tulipano for myself, but that just gives me the chance to think long and hard about the color combination.

Speaking of, for those who have made modifications to existing models, at what point does Marco say "no, you're trying to design your own bag, that's too much"?

It mostly depends on if the mod strays too far from his original design. For example, I asked if the Venus straps could be put on a Daphne (replacing the existing straps) and he said that was too far removed from the original design.

However, I’ve had other mods done such as an exterior flat pocket added to a Daphne and the Arianna external messenger straps added to an Angelica (@msd_bags inspo) without issue.

So when are we getting a school style satchel?

I don’t know but he said soon.

Which will not be an easy decision considering all of the options. But what fun!

What size do you consider midi? The outer bag is 12.5 in so the inner bags have to be smaller to fit. It's not mini but I consider it mid sized.

I should probably wait, then. If someone crossed the midi Angel with the Siena, they'd have it just about right. Maybe this school satchel will be my answer. ::fingers crossed::

Since Emma was so pleased with her bag from me I needed to say how pleased I am with my bag from her.
I'm carrying it now. Taupe goes with everything! And I love the nabuk. And the midi Minerva in this leather. I didn't love it in a different leather funnily enough. I can't figure out why. I think I maybe love the slight thick/stiffness of the nabuk combined with the teddy bear softness and mold-to-your-body style? In a floppier leather it just puddles but nabuk has enough body to stand up a little bit.

I haven't seen too many pictures of the nabuk out in real life. This is really stunning, and I agree that it appears to have just the right amount of puddliness. (totally a word)

I have a preloved nabuk midi Soulmate from another pooster, and it is a luscious leather. Plus, if you get a smudge on it, some very very fine sandpaper and a light touch and presto, It is gone, lol.

I do wonder about the weight of 3 layers of leather on the Tulipano.

Good point..

It really has a nice body, it's very thick but doesn't feel heavy and heaven to touch. I am really a fan even though I never thought I would be.

I agree. It was never on my radar but I wanted to try a Soulmate without a center compartment. I like the leather but still have not decided if the Soulmate style will work for me. I have not carried it enough yet.

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.

Yes, I did wonder whether the more structured bags would still hold their shape in the softer leathers. I love how the Midi Divina looks in pebbled. Hmmm.... I really don't want to make an expensive mistake! I've already joined the BST page, seen some tempting offers already!

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 for the photos! Please can you tell me how you chose the leathers and how they're holding up?

For those who don't read the MM emails....Didn't see this one on the blog, but it's in the email.

MM responded....

I've already created a "Little Tulipano" since I knew we'd surely have received that kind of request. We've already booked some Little Tulipano for some customers. Size is similar to Little Muse.

All the best,
Marco


I love little muse.. so I’m in.
