Massaccesi Handbags

I didn’t ask MM to confirm that - just repeating what the sale announcement said. I tend to be a bit literal in that regard.

At this point, I’m sure he’s trying to at least encourage people to use the website. He’s great at responsive customer service but I imagine it’s taking up a good chunk of his time since he’s answering emails himself.

An improved website could lessen the burden on Marco of taking orders, but not totally take away the need to email. My last couple of orders required back and forth with pictures and specs that a website alone couldn't handle . Some styles only have 1 leather choice listed when others are available if you ask.

Marco mentioned to me that the website soon will have an option for customer uploaded images of the bags! That's is BRILLIANT idea, considering that this forum is about the only source for any newbie out there. It certainly was for me, as I learned about MM from googling for good quality but not "label" bags and stumbling upon this wealth

Do you mean we can upload images of the bags we receive from MM? That would be cool and we can see all the creativity of the ladies here.

That would be great! Especially since they don't have images for many of the leathers/colors, so it can be hard for folks to imagine what the bag actually looks like. My China Blue Athene mini Zhoe is less of a gamble because I've seen other Athene bags here and have a swatch I could touch. But a new person? It would be impossible!

Here is my regular Tulipano in Everose and Silver glitter Pompei. You can put items between the outer and inner bag to help keep things organized. I am so glad that we can purchase each part separately for endless possibilities.

That is one elegant handbag! I love everything about it. it is too dressy for my life style or I would have one. I am waiting for my dark green vacchetta satchel which is more in keeping with what I wear. Plus another Theia!

@lenie , love it! It's so elegant and unique! I think with this glitter leather you made the right choice of having painted edges and lining, otherwise it would not be as polished.

I think the Tulipano hits the sweet spot of being dressy enough for work but not too dressy to carry on the weekend. Some bags are just too obviously rustic / casual or fancy dinner dressy that limits their use. That is a pretty combo lenie.

Sneaked a photo in the airport with Selene. Not very glamorous, but she is really huge and can be absolutely STUFFED! She is heavy, but the adjustable shoulder strap options and the wider messenger strap make her comfortable when I have to lug around my life. I’m I am 5’6”/167cm for reference and roughly a US size 6

I will take more modshots with her in her many forms another time. Really had to take this one quick so no one would be wondering why I was taking mirror selfies in the airport!

I have posted that every time my hubby plays xxxx games of golf, it equals one bag. He has taken nine guys on a four day golf trip....I believe that takes care of the two bags being made.

Hi to everyone.
This is my first time posting. I have been lurking here and finally put in an order for a Theia midi in everose diamond leather and Calista in port merinos.

Now that i am waiting for them to arrive, i am itchy and thinking of a Soulmate midi or Selene zip midi.

Can anyone tell me what these 2 bags weigh? I like leather but if these are particularly heavy, i guess i will look for nylon instead.

My midi Theia in diamond everose seems light to me.

Hey, welcome!
Theia midi certainly seems to be making a comeback, great choice
As for your question, I own a Soulmate midi in Africa (now "extinct' leather, about middle of the pack weight-wise as far as Marco's leathers go). While as a shoulder carry it is wonderful and comfortable, I personally find it to be one of my heaviest bags in this leather as a handheld or a crossbody - something about all the pleats and nappa straps and buckles just adds to up a hefty chunk of a bag. However, in lighter leathers such as merinos or diamond and perhaps without the middle compartment it should be much lighter. I think Selene midi is a bit similar in a sense that as she's engineered, you don't feel the weight while shoulder carry. Others will definitely help you more, as those two are very popular styles .

My first bag was the Selene midi in Merinos which is not that heavy at all. That is his lightest leather. I agree thst the Soulmate has a lot of leather in it. Even in Merinos it was not really lightweight.
