Absolutely. I wear mine and am cognizant of where I put it down or if I have lotion on my hands, etc. But other than being careful, I use them and enjoy them. Yesterday I gifted a bag to one of my daughter's friends who will probably never be as blessed as I am in being able to purchase luxury items. She was absolutely thrilled beyond words. It humbled me and reminded me that these are material things, to be used, not worshiped. So I enjoy mine to the max.
He is beautiful. I am such a dog lover, but mine weighs 9 pounds, lol.
Gosh, I love your bag. I got the large one. I think I felt obligated to because I was the one who initially approached him about doing a satchel type style. I wish I had gotten the small one.
TBH, before I started with my first Massaccesi, I was meant to be slowing way down on buying handbags!I have faaaaar too many in my collection now after all the MMs, and am trying to get started on downsizing the total collection... (I think you posed a question earlier, before the news about MM closing, on our bag-buying 'journeys' too -- I may revive that question to add in my 2 cents on that!)
So there may not be many purchases in my future, but the brands/styles I've otherwise been shopping in the past year or two have largely been from the premier designers -- Loewe, BV, and Givenchy too... On the contemporary side, Polene has also been catching my eye, though I've yet to be able to justify adding a bag from them (see above re: gigantic collection!). I'm hoping to consider myself bag content soon, but if I do get tempted to shop for QUOTE]
I was the same way. I was downsizing until I found MM. Now with over a dozen new bags I really have too many, but I couldn't resist trying new styles, leathers, and customized features. I'm still down sizing my collection but most of my MMs will be staying
Here is Carter photo bombing my first attempt to get a pic of my new BV. He is a maltipoo, spoiled rotten. He eats about ½ cup of food every other day, seriously!!! If I had to feed Bayo I could not afford bags, yikes!
Can we shop out of you closet!!!!!!!
Rough&Tumble do offer relatively extensive customization options with leathers, colorblocking and lining in about the same price ballpark as Marco. However, they don't have anywhere near his style versatility, as most of their bags are a variation of a slouchy hobo. I love the one lambskin hobo pack I got from them, but unlike it was with MM, I have no desire to get anything else, as it would be more of the same anyway.
I want to see your Alexia Midi when you get it.Using this bag again, I'm definitely glad I switched my final order from another Penelope Messenger to my second Alexia Midi, though -- this style is definitely unique, and showcases the fabulous leathers so well!(Thanks again to @tenKrat and @vink for that nudge that I needed to change my final order!

I’m putting handbag shopping on hold for a while because 1) I’m a homeowner again, and 2) I’m very satisfied with my collection, which consists mostly of Massaccesi, Bottega Veneta, and Louis Vuitton.
