I'm concerned about the short hand handles. I shouldn't have called them straps. Do the handles rub against you when wearing crossbody? Are you the poster who had an issue with the edge paint on a little Muse? Was that ever Resolved?
You are probably correct. The penny midi in Athene has no marks on it except a couple of spots that were there when I got it that turned out to be a bad batch of leather.
I kind of want to ask Marco if it’s possible to put handles on hinges/buckles. Perpetually upright handles are really not my jam and deter me from both Little Athena and Little Muse.
If you do, please share with the class what he says! I think the best example for a hinge for those styles would be Arianna since it also has rolled handles.
Ah! Okay, the bag handles don’t bother me since I get the strap lengthened by 3 inches. I know the Little Muse strap length is pretty long to start with but I am large busted and straps usually end up too short. With the additional length the bag sits on my hip.
Yes I was the one with the cracking edge paint. Marco and I worked out it out. I would take the bag to a local cobbler to fix and he would reimburse me as shipping the bag back would’ve been cost prohibitive.
May I suggest Stella?
That metallic makes great clutch. [emoji4] (I tend to go for smaller piece in metallic myself, too, hence the idea.)Otherwise, Theia midi should be good. It’s not too big and has a front seam to help keep a bit of the structure.
I shouldn’t say never in my life I’d check out a blog just because I want to read her thoughts on the bag. (I did this with other bag that I was very obsess with before. [emoji16]) I couldn’t find a post on that Alexia midi, but found a couple on Daphne and she did make a good choice on color and leather. Kudos for Marco on picking sage lining.
On a personal note, I think she’s a pretty girl, but I don’t like her over-posed facial expressions at all. It makes me think of a VS catalog or probably it’s the outfit. [emoji848] Or it’s simply me getting old. [emoji28]
If I remember correctly, a few months ago I posted a link to her blog where Marco gave her a sale code to share with her readers. Another stealthy source of sales for us, perhaps
Seems it is a love/hate relationship with this style...no in between! I hope you love it! The bag does not have a formal feel to it at all--to me it is very chic and a bit rock and roll!
Devyn, I fell in love with yours and got the dark gunmetal but in black merinos! (I thought you scored yours from a sample sale?)
Yes! I am a crossbody wearer almost exclusively, so I have never ordered a Massaccesi with stiff, upright handles, despite being otherwise interested in those bags. Handles on hinges would make such a positive difference.
Agree. That’s why I haven’t ordered anything yet.. I don’t like handles that stick up.. Arianna handles are perfect but it’s too big for what I want.
