Those would be lovely combos! I’m mulling over these possibilities:
- dark green vacchetta with dark gunmetal hardware, probably standard silver lining
- oxblood vacchetta (not sure if still available) with silver hardware, maybe cappuccino lining
- dark gray flat calf with silver hardware and red lining
- light grey Pompei with dark gunmetal hardware and red lining

I’m trying not to be impatient but I’m wondering how long we’ll have to wait for the unveiling of the schoolbag satchel! :lol:
At the rate these new styles and leathers are coming out we'll probably see the satchel promo next weekend, lol.

Maybe later on the mod shot. Came home from church and changed into my grubby's. It is either dark brown or mahogany vachetta which is why I got it. i wanted to see what vacchetta was like. I think the lady who sold it to me, or traded, I cannot remember now, said it was dark brown. But it looks much more like my mahogany swatch. It is lovely.

It’s dark brown ;)
 
i like the thought of the outer bag being in one color and the inner one being another as well. I am not a color block person, although every time TotinScience does one I want it!! She has the eye for that.
That would be a way to ease into colorblocking. If you look there isn't much of the inner bag peeking out of the shell. Just a small triangle and the straps.

I asked about other leathers for the Tulipano style bag because the special was for pompei or flat calf. Specifically about plum pebbled as an option for Tulipano and here is the response I got from Marco - Pebbled (as well as any other leather) can be used to produce a Tulipano but it has to be reinforced so there's an extra cost to do that. He said the Tulipano in these two leathers is very light as there is no lining and also I am guessing because the leather does not require a backing which would also probably make it heavier.

I asked about the Amethyst pompei in comparison the the pebbled amethyst and the plum pebbled.
He said that the Pebbled Amethyst was darker and the Pompei amethyst is more saturated and it has a bit more fuchsia than the pebbled amethyst version. Amethyst pompei is a bit brighter than plum pebbled and JUST a bit lighter. Below is a photo he sent me of the Pompei amethyst.

I’m curious about amethyst pompei too! Could you repost the photo please, it doesn’t show up. Thanks!
 
I haven’t been on the forum for a while but today my grande Aura in everose pompei arrived so of course I just have to reveal it to you lovely ladies. [emoji4] And, it’s gorgeous! [emoji177]

And here are the swatches! I’m so happy I got them as now I know I’ll just have to have something in hot pink nappa! First I thought to go for a pink Athene, but I changed my mind. Even though it’s very pretty too.

Edit. Actually, the hot pink nappa is irl more muted than in this pic, and even more lovely. [emoji4]
As you seem to like pink do you think the everose color goes with light pinks? I like it against darker pinks / fuscia but not sure how I feel about light pink. What colors do you wear with your bags.

Thank you for the photo! This swatch doesn't seem like what the color was in the Tulipano picture, it seems similar to brownrose nappa almost whereas the description suggest s amore vivid color. :confused1:

Proudly presenting... my family of Massaccesi cuff bracelets! The cuffs are a great way to enjoy owning the beautiful leathers in a more affordable way that purchasing a bag. And they're also a great way to sample the leathers to help decide which ones are bag-worthy.

1) Silver glitter pompei. I love how this turned out, and if it had fit, I would probably wear it every day I had on cool-toned clothing. I hope some day to order a Phoebe in silver glitter pompei.

2) Dark brown tuscania. Since this one doesn't fit me and it didn't sell on the BST, my husband has been eyeing it. The combination of the color, distressing, and steel clasp make it masculine enough.

3) Pewter diamond. This one was difficult to photograph. The pic came out slightly more bronze-ish than reality.
IMG_3236.JPG

4) Turquoise nappa. I think this color is stunning, and would love to see more pictures of MM bags in turquoise nappa.
IMG_3238.JPG

5) Eggplant pompei. I am underwhelmed with this one. I think there was a Little Muse made in eggplant pompei I really liked, but for my taste in jewelry, the leather is uninteresting. I am wondering if a comparable color in vacchetta might have been a better choice for this bracelet. But due to the stiffness, I don't know if Marco would've made a cuff for me out of vacchetta.
IMG_3243.JPG

6) And here is my favorite: teal diamond! Seeing this leather in person, I DEFINITELY want a teal diamond bag in the future. Again, I'm thinking Phoebe.

7) Coming soon to a future post once it arrives in the mail: a new-to-me platinum glitter pompei bracelet from the BST!

Have I gone cuff crazy? Why yes I have.

LOVE THESE!!

After running into a silver satchel/tote this afternoon, I'm convinced that a Daphne in Diamond leather would be AMAZING.

Thanks so much for these! I am now even more excited about my Teal/Pewter SLGs on their way after seeing these :biggrin:. I actually really like the eggplant one as well - I am a sucker for a pretty purple :)
