Yay! [emoji4] We’re getting there! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] He sure can! I have mine made with handles in other leather, too. Nappa and a bit of Pompeii that he still has left. It’s not a big piece. He said he has enough. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

The group bespoke is a go! I received an email from Marco confirming it.
He said that he can accept up to three more orders after mine, so if anyone is still interested/has one more branch to cut off their money tree, there is room for you.

Hi Starsong so nice to have you join the MM group. I think all your questions about the strap on the Diva has been answered. I am going to post the photo of my midi Soulmate to show you what contrasting straps look like on a midi Soulmate even though the leather is a light color in peachy pink it will give you an idea. The leather is peachy pink
nappa and the straps are also nappa if I am not mistaken. . DSCN1706 (2).JPG

Just chiming in to add that the Minerva was also the first MM style that caught my eye... I never pulled the trigger on one, though, because I've realised that only certain hobo styles truly work well enough for me -- zipper or other secure closures (eg flaps) are almost always a must for me in all bags, but I also didn't personally like how the Minerva looked with a zipper closure. It's interesting what we can realise in the course of our bag journeys!

I ended up a happy owner of two Minervas from BST in the past few months - one with a standard magnetic closure, and another with a zipper. The zippered version is definitely my preference, and it actually makes sense as far as the bag design goes - and like you, top closure security is one of my biggest points. The other Minerva, however, is just so beautiful I can't let her go, despite a fairly weak magnet - I bought some magnetic snap closures and will take her to a good cobbler to have a couple installed. That way, I can close her more securely and be happy :smile:. Overall, it is a wonderful style, elegant but also fairly practical.

I've sent in an email expressing my interest and asking his opinion on whether a Diva in dark blue nabuk would work together with the dark blue nappa / dark blue nabuk combination.

Another mini survey. Massaccesi was my first designer handbag. Now that he is closing I am curious to see where others will be shopping. I recently bought a woven Bottega veneta sachel preowned which is really nice. But there are not many other BV styles that catch my eye right now. Arayla is an option, especially if they put out some smaller sizes of a couple of their bags. What say you?

I am mainly a Coach and LV buyer. Although at the moment I own more MM bags than LV bags and about the same amount of MM as Coach. LV quality and recent designs have turned me away a little and haven’t bought a bag since 2015, only slgs.

I have also dabbled a bit in Gucci, Ferragamo, Balenciaga, Cuyana, JW Hulme, Dooney. I own only one bag from each of these brands.

As for the future, I would like to add another Gucci and another LV if I could find a style I liked.

It is peachy pink and I think Marco might still have some. It was a bespoke leather which he got for me. It is the most beautiful leather in nappa that I own. I have never used this bag without having people come up and ask me where I got it. It is an absolute show stopper. I use it all the time. I was so tempted to get another bag in this color it is such a great leather. I think he called it Salmon pink. Here is a photo of the leather on the blog post. I have never seen anyone else post about a bag in this leather so that is why I think he might still have some.

I’d so love a full Soulmate with light grey lining in this leather. Of course, I hardly need another Soulmate (see photo below).

Needing has never stopped me before. I don't need another MM bag and guess what I ordered 2 more. The teal Little Muse and the caramel nappa Midi Alexia. I have 6 midi Soulmates but gave a lot of them away. Not because I didn't like them I just had too many MM bags. Gave 4 away and sold one to a lovely lady on our BST group. My daughter has a couple of them a friend also has a couple of them. The only one I have left is the peachy pink one mainly because I went to smaller bags once I stopped working full time. The only larger bags I have besides the midi Soulmate are 3 midi Selenes that I use as totes. The rest are smaller bags which suit my lifestyle.
