Massaccesi Handbags

[Pautinka]

I love my Sabrina midi, and merinos is my all time favorite leather from MM.

Thank you Devyn Danielle. I am excited to be getting a Sabrina. It looks like an ideal dress-me-up-dress-me-down bag!

Welcome to MM!!! It really is a slippery slope, but oh so enjoyable!
You combined two of my favorite things in your order - Merinos is such a gorgeous leather and the Sabrina Midi is a very easy to wear bag with great style. Can't wait to see your reveal!

Thanks pdxhb. Sounds like Merinos was the right choice. I literally took days to decide which leather to go for! Will definitely post a pic when it arrives.

Pics of swatch sheets with all currently available Pompei and flat calf colors would be very useful.

Speaking of gifts, a TPFer gifted me this teal leather cuff. Thanks EmmaR!

I have some of the sample leathers and tomorrow in the sunlight I will take a look at the hot pink nappa with the Amethyst. The only thing I can tell you about trying different leathers is you need to speak to Marco first. Some of the leathers require a backing which will add some cost and also weight. I originally wanted the Little Tulipano in plum pebbled and Marco emailed and let me know that the pebbled would require a backing and make the bag heavy. He indicated that the Pompeii and if I remember correctly the calf leathers were ideal for Tulipano. I am not sure what other leathers are suitable. Now that I have sample of the Pompeii leathers I might have done a color combination although I am not a color block person. As I have mentioned before I love all the color block combos that I see posted here but I prefer a single color. Having said that I might add a different inner or outer bag for my Little Tulipano in one of the other Pompeii leathers. Let me know if there are any color combinations you would like me to photograph with the Amethyst Little Tulipano to give you an idea of what the colors look like together.

@msd_bags it is still pouring with rain here but I looked at the amethyst and put the hot pink nappa next to it and it clashes pretty badly. I will look for my fuschia pink sample and see how that looks but definitely not the hot pink nappa it does not go at all. I am pretty good with colors and I have just selected another outer shell for my amethyst Little Tulipano and I chose sugar cane so I am not afraid of color. Having said that the two colors fight each other and do not complement each other.

Thanks for this tip D!! May be a while before I order, so lots of time to think! Can't wait to see your sugar cane shell!

Additional photos are much appreciated D!

I think the leathers for the external body of the Tulipano are really limited to Pompei and natural calf. But any will do for the internal bag I think.

It is still pouring with rain here a tropical depression we have so much rain for the past 2 weeks and we are expecting rain for the next 4 days. As I mentioned the hot pink nappa and the amethyst fight a little with each other. They are both vivid colors and are both dominant colors. In looking at them together for a second time you could probably get away with it if you want something very bright. I am adding two photos but I do not think the amethyst color is accurate in the photos it has the hot pink nappa sample next to the Little Tulipano in amethyst. As I said the amethyst to me has a pink cast to it. Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating it is dark, grey and dreary. The second photo on my computer screen does not accurately show the amethyst. I

I would definitely speak to Marco before you make this decision. I mentioned this color combination to him this morning when I placed my outer Little Tulipano order. He felt it was not a good match and that there were other pink leathers that would be a much better choice.
Hope this has been helpful. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I went with a sugar cane Pompei shimmer for my new and different outer shell for my amethyst Little Tulipano. I was between the silver and the sugar cane the silver would be the safe choice but I wanted something fun and edgy so I decided on sugar cane.

I have been lurking here for a while now (sorry) and have finally made the jump into MM bags. I have always been a huge Longchamp fan but am not so keen on recent changes with their branding and image so have been looking elsewhere for similar quality bags. MM seems to do the trick and so I am now happily awaiting delivery of a bluette Merinos Sabrina Midi and silver HW. Can't wait to get it! Thank you to all those who have posted photos of all their bags - it really helped to get an understanding of the leathers.

I have owned a few MM styles and currently my two favorites are Calista and Sabrina Midi! With the last sale, I ordered a second Sabrina in Taupe Merinos with Silver HW. I know you will love your new bag! Can’t wait to see photos of it!

Thanks again!! I really want a hot pink bag, maybe the Tulipano is not it. [emoji3]

Oh my, I didn't know there was a dark blue!!! I think this is the first dark blue pic. Can you post it in the leather reference thread. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/massaccesi-leather-customization-reference-thread.975530/

Just posted it! Marco also sent me a photo of the Verona swatch sheets from previous seasons. I think of the colors on the sheet, only Chocolate is still in stock. Would it be helpful to post those? I was afraid it might be confusing because most are not available. What do you think?

 

[lignecpq]

Thanks for this!! Somehow I missed that there’s a dark blue Pompei!

I was surprised too! I don't think it was mentioned in any email or on the blog. I emailed Marco about Bluette and Dark Grey for a cuff a couple of weeks back, and he also sent the photo of the Dark Blue swatch since it is (kind of) in the same color family.

Don't give up yet. My hot pink Tulipano is coming this week. I also don't think the above picture of the amethyst and hot pink nappa clashes at all. Maybe in person they do, but on my monitor they look fine if you want a bright bag.

Good to hear the Sabrina is well-loved! Taupe sounds lovely. I am tempted by black Nappa as a more formal colour but am waiting to see how I get on with the bluette.

I've been wanting to use sugarcane for a bag but didn't see another blue that would go with it until the dark blue pompei . Great, another temptation .

Mine is black nappa. I actually couldn't decide between black nappa, and black merinos, so I was able to have swatches of the two sent to me. Thinking that I would go with the merinos, I placed my order for the merinos version. Imagine my surprise when I received the swatches, and preferred the nappa. As I've said, merinos is my favorite leather, but for the look I was going for (edgy date nite bag with black gunmetal)the slight sheen of the black nappa won me over.
