I have 2 of the Floras. I wish I would have bought something bigger. I bought them because I like the top zip, long strap, and size. The Flora is too small to fit my iPhone, sunglasses, and a very small wallet or coin purse. I was wanting something small and light for summer music and arts festivals, vacations, concerts, etc... I thought the Flora would be good for this. I hope this helps you! Of course the leather is the best!!!:heart::biggrin:

maybe get a Penelop and add Straps? I saw a few ladies did it and I think it is perfect! I am considering doing that for my daughters...

I've still not seen/felt Vacchetta in person beyond the swatches in the portfolio, but I agree that Pompei feels more permanently springy. It strikes me as a leather that will keep its shape and won't be prone to slouching, and seems similar to Givenchy's smooth calfskin that they use in their Antigonas. (I have a medium Antigona in that leather, and even though the back of that bag sometimes "dents" inwards when I carry it against my body, it usually pops right back out after!)

That's what I feel about Pompei, too!
If you're thinkning it's too much, perhaps it is. (I'm telling me myself this as well, I think. But be damn, 35% is soooooo tempting.)

Ok. What is the difference between Nappa and Flat calf? Just working on a plan B...

I asked Marco about flat calf a little while ago here is his response: "We are dismissing Flat Calf. In fact it's ages we don't offer it anymore. Now we use Pompei that is to me 10 times better. Anyway we have some Flat Calf in cobalt, black and brown".

This has given me an idea, and I'm asking Marco if adding straps to a Penelope Midi is also possible.

I have a Flora too, and like @lulu212121, I do find it a bit small to use as a little bag for concerts and the like. Penelope Midi could be a nice size for such a little crossbody too, something in between Flora and Penelope / Penelope Messenger, that can still be quite small and lightweight. Fingers crossed that Marco says this can be done!

I’m still contemplating with this sale.. And I’m intrigued by different bag options too. What do you ladies think about the Little Miss M? And is Soulmate Midi still in production? It’s not on the website. If I’ll cave in this sale, I’m going for my first orange bag, either in orange nappa or flamingo merinos. The Little Miss M could be more suitable as it’s smaller bag. I’ve considered a Zhoe Legend too, but I have four regural Zhoes so something more different would be nice. [emoji4]

Soulmate Midi is still in production. I got one in the diamond leather sale. It's still on the website here: http://shop.marcomassaccesi.it/56-soulmate-midi

The Little Miss M has a reputation for being dressy and elegant, and easily amenable to colorblocking if you're into that. There are several reveals and mod shots of Little Miss M in this thread, especially from the early days several years ago when Little Miss M first came out. All the posters reported loving this model. As it is a structured bag that Marco originally made in Flat Calf, no doubt he will now counsel you that the best choice for a leather is Pompei or Glitter Pompei.

I know all this because I spent the last few days re-reading it all. It was Little Miss M I was considering for this sale. I need to sit this one out, unfortunately, so I hope you will order one and post here about it when it arrives so I can enjoy it vicariously, Taimi. Carry it in good health!

Hmmm. Nothing from Marco in the overnight. Wonder if he’s having email issues again. [emoji848]

That's strange. I woke up to an email in response to my order from late last night. I literally just received a second email with a picture I requested this morning. Did you double check the sent email? I would consider sending a fb message asking if your email was received.

I oredered a Little Miss M! I have been in love with the style for a looong time! I finally took the plunge. I think it is so classy. I modified it and asked for short rolled handles. I can't wait to see it. I say, go for it! [emoji41]

I asked him about the Angel midi and he can absolutely still make them. I have to sit this round out, but if you're interested in the Angel midi, put in an order! He said the retail cost is 335Euro.

I'm tempted by the angel midi but some posters said it didn't carry as much as it looks and is hard to get in and out of. Angel midi owners, is that true?

I love the angel and the angel midi. The midi is a handbag, not a work bag but I haven’t had issues getting things in and out. The key is you should ask for length of straps to be increased by 2 inches if you want to shoulder carry
