The Little Tulipano is Sugar Cane it is not China Blue.

Yes and he’s out of sugar cane too [emoji22]

I want a Modena, am thinking vacchetta, pompeii, or, Verona, if there is any left. Day Brown or Dark grey. Im on the fence about dark ocher Verona... any suggestions, thoughts, welcome. Dark Beige Verona? Obviously the time is counting down.

I haven’t seen dark beige Verona in a good pic or IRL, but dark taupe vacchetta would be a home run. It’s a very lovely neutral shade.

I have a tan Pompei Alexia and that is a beautiful, smooth leather that I think would also look great in a Modena.

Marco doesn't recommend Pompeii for Victoria. Are you going for a more dressed up look or casual? Vachetta is a more casual leather for lack of a better word, and will probably slouch more over time compared to Pompeii. Take a look through the leather thread for a better idea of what you may like. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/massaccesi-leather-customization-reference-thread.975530/

Thanks, Devyn, good to know. Could Pompeii be used for a Penelope messenger?

tenkrat, thanks. Have really adored looking at your bags over time!

Holy grails of leather?

Massaccesi’s vacchetta is outstanding. I don’t own any Verona, but it was highly sought after whenever it was available. All the ladies who own it have sung its praises.

I ordered a pewter glitter pompeii Penny messenger, wondering if pompeii is too stiff?

 

[tenKrat]

Pompeii vs vacchetta for a Modena or a Victoria? I know the vacchetta has weight, I'm thinking about looks.

Both Pompei and vacchetta would work well for Modena. On Victoria, I’m not so sure. Victoria seems it would look best in a less structured leather like Verona, pebbled, or merinos.

Thanks, tenKrat.

Can Pompeii work well on smaller bags? Little Alexia, Penelope messenger?

Done. After all my whining about vachetta, I ordered the daphne in taupe vachetta ( nuts.. i just love the looks...) dark gunmetal and asked Marco to pick a fun lining. ...

I love taupe vacchetta and dark gunmetal hw. Excellent choices.

A few months ago I ordered a black Verona Modena. Love it. Very polished for work.
Didn't think I'd have to think about a new one so soon.

OMG! Out of Sugar Cane! Thank God I previously bought a Black Pompei Tulipano with a Sugar Cane/Black shell. For my last order, I got two Tulipano shells — Red/Black and Brown/Black — both in Pompei.

I asked Marco about that weeks ago. He said it's not a good fit for the messenger because Pompei is stiff. Actually he said that about all the Penelopes, because there is a chance of undesirable creasing. I did go ahead and get a Penny midi in a Pompei and I love it. Someone else got a Flora in a Pompeii, and it's gorgeous! Those are both more like pouches though, so maybe that's why he was willing to do it.

I have an Alexia Midi in Everose Glitter Pompei, so, yes.

I’m thinking maybe not on a Penelope messenger because I imagine it would be a little difficult to work the stiff leather on a much smaller bag. Marco will let you know.
