Yellow tulip... my favorites right now are the daphne, little muse (new) and Penelope messenger. I have several soulmate midis and use occasionally. They are a little bit big on me. I traded something for an Arianna but it’s just too big for me... so It is on the chopping block.

My personal favorites for leather are Merinos and then pebbled- I had a vachetta but traded or sold. I did like the leather but ordered dark brown and I’m so not a dark brown person. I have an Athene leather but I’m a little harder on my purses... and athene does tend to show wear on the corners.

And this group of crazy ladies has found a great way to re home our personal booboos on the Massaccesi Buy Sell Trade Facebook page.

Good luck!

I love Selene. Both full size and midi. It’s a tote that’s just great. You have to try it to know the difference. I prefer the original open top, but I have the midi with customized zipper top as well. I have huge arms and need to lengthen the straps for midi, but the full size is just perfect. And for plain leather, Selene zip make it even more special with those zippers along the side.

And for crossbody, I like Theia midi. It’s cute.

I’m all for slouchy bags so my favorite leathers are Verona, Aquila Matte, and Merino. I like pebble, too, but that’ll depends on the color. They weight ok, but will never be as light as LV coated canvas.

Someone compiled this list long time ago so some leathers maybe missing.

From the lightest weight to the heaviest
Merinos
Athene
Africa
Nappa
Nabuk
Pebbled calf
Vacchetta

I agree, the BST site on Facebook is priceless. I have bought, sold and traded.

My favorite is definitely the Zhoe. It's elegant and practical at the same time. It is not big or tiny and it fits all my essentials. I can't wait to see how it could look in pompei. I really wish there were more flat calf colors.

I have a Zhoe in the Tan pompei. I had an extra short strap made. The pompei is a great leather for the Zhoe.

So I’m thinking black Napa and caramel. Wait. It’s summer... light pink Nappa and horizon grey... OR maybe light grey Pompeii and sugar cane. Platinum Pompeii looks nice too. And it will be the little one.. I love you who decide quickly!

Initially, I didn’t even read the email — I had just placed an order for a Calista in black Aquila Matte, and didn’t want to order anything more for a while. Then I relented and read it, and immediately realized that the Tulipano, with its “raw” center tote, was exactly what I was hoping MM would offer. Coincidentally, I had just returned an Everlane Day Tote because it was too large (and too raw) for me. That’s a long winded lead up to what l’m considering: black Pompei tote (customized with a key holder ring, one slip pocket, and shorter messenger strap) with an outer shell of Sugar Cane Pompei / Black Pompei.

I like the concept of the bag in a bag with Tulipano, but when I order (wallet not yet ready), I would surely go for the edge glazing. This feature (tone on tone edge glazing) is one of the main points why I love MM bags!
