Massaccesi Handbags

This is really sad news! I've been following this thread for a while and finally decided to try a Flora to see what the hype is about. It came in last month and I was pleasantly surprised of the craftsmanship and materials used! Even the quality of the chain is incredible!
I've had my eye on the Rue Angelica for a travel and hauling all the kids stuff for days I want to look more put together, as I have nothing this size that is not beatup.
Any reviews from anyone who has it?
Also, any thoughts between the navy pebble and Marino marine blue as far as color and leather.
TIA

Well I just found out there's not enough black Verona for a Victoria so I will probably do a black pebbled Victoria with Selene closure and marine lining. Also, a pewter glitter Pompeii Mia with burgundy lining. Ugh I'm so disappointed about the black Verona!

Did you hear directly from Marco or someone else?

What is everyone's favorite work bag? Leaning towards the Siena in vachetta.

I've always wanted something from the Zhoe family but I don't think it would get much use at this point in my life and I could use a new work bag. I figure I can probably always track down a Zhoe second hand in the future.

I like Juliet. It's so underrated.

Merino is going to be slouch quite a bit from the beginning. Pebbled will be a little bit stiffer initially , but will definitely be quite slouchy as you break it in. Will you be happy with a slouchy Angelica? You can do a search for pics to see what a slouchy Daphne Looks like. Maybe that would help you make up your mind on the Angelica. I’d prefer marine blue over navy pebbled.

Marco

Yea that means he is well then. I was worried.

 

[TotinScience]

Thank you! I think that seals it for me. Do you prefer it in vachetta or pebbled?

Sorry for the confusion - mine is one bag, colorblocked with pebbled and Vacchetta, not two separate bags

Besides the sadness, I am also grateful for MM because I got to read and interact with you all. What a wonderful community here and on the BST group. I ordered a Soulmate Midi and a Little Penelope. Thank you all!

I order a Valerie and Selene, both full size, and some Juliet bag straps. I know I can use his bag straps on some of my other bags. It’s very comfortable strap.

Oh, what a neat idea!

In a small to medium size, the Midi Sabrina is one of my favorites. It's so easy to use and feels great in a soft leather.

Thank you! I'm thinking a lot about the style.

I have a mini Zhoe in this leather and LOVE it. But that does not sound like the kind of bag you're going for. The color is truly stunning though.

I already have a Zhoe in cobalt blue, how come I'm not considering the mini. Although I did consider it in Phoebe. I'm so glad to hear you love the color! Isn't it just gorgeous?

Carterazo, Oh yes! As pdxhb suggested get the Midi Sabrina! I have three and LOVE them.

Thank you! I am leaning heavily in that direction.

I've just heard back from Marco regarding my order. Apparently, the bluette Merinos is no longer in stock, so he suggested the china blue Pebbled. I haven't seen anyone post any photos of it here, but the small swatch on the website looks like a bright navy, so I think it's a good substitute.

So shocked to hear the news! I'll definitely miss the brand and the incredible standards of customer service that they set... Like TotinScience's post below, I also only just took the plunge with my first MM bag less than a year ago (though I'd been lurking on this thread and checking out leathers and styles for awhile before that), and I'm sad that this is now going to be the last of MM... I'm still waiting for my order from the flash sale in July, but also decided to get one last bag (and a couple of SLGs) to show my support and gratitude to Marco and the MM family.

While I did make a personal decision to not buy MM bags for awhile, I might just get one in this last sale to support him and show my gratitude. It has only been a bit over a year since i discovered this wonderful brand and community, and it saddens me so much to learn about the shop closure ((.

Would love to hear what you ladies have ordered if you'd like to share

I've placed an order for a Modena in Butterscotch pebbled leather, a Penelope in Chocolate Verona (my Blue Iris Verona Penelope works superbly well as a grab-and-go wristlet in a hardy and super pettable leather, so I figured I'd add one more for the road!), and a Little Penelope in China blue pebbled leather (love how that leather looks in the swatches, but just can't figure out a bag to get in this leather!)

The Modena is a style I've been liking for some time now, and will actually be my first larger-sized MM bag -- all my other purchases so far have been smaller styles (ranging from the Penny Messenger to Alexia Midi), as I've got a number of other larger-sized bags already that it's been hard to find a gap in my bag collection that still needed to be filled! The Modena was more or less next on my MM wishlist, so it's pretty much a now-or-never situation, even though I still need to do a bit of a purge on my bag collection...

I second all the Sabrina love. My very first Marco's bag was a full size Sabrina coloblocked with Chocolate and Black Nappas and to this day it's one of the most striking bags in my collection. Size-wise, I do prefer the midi one though (mine is tangerine Nappa/Lead Africa), as it can double as a casual out and about errands bag and can be glammed up for a date. The full size Sabrina is kind of neither here nor there capacity-wise, but it does make a hell of a statement bag on a taller person - on someone more petite it can end up looking like a...sail. Because Sabrinas are so flat, they travel very well - just stick them at the bottom of your suitcase and voila, you have an extra bag for your next trip .

I have a Bluette Merinos bag and recently received thet china blue Pebbled and agree it’s got a very similar vibrancy and appeal.
