Massaccesi Handbags

[TotinScience]

This style intrigued me so much my last MM order was for a midi Sabrina in dark blue Verona with silver hardware. Hope it turns out as great as I imagine.

I recently rewatched the Devil Wears Prada on a plane and can confirm @Sickgrl13 eagle eye observation that the IT bag of that movie is basically Sabrina. However, it is still a very rare style that intrigues and delights people, the owner included. "Wait, so why are their holes in here? OOOh, you can wear it like that? and like this???"

I am confused. Are you saying that this bag photo you share here is from the movie? It is not an original MM design?

I believe this photo is of a bag from the movie or inspired by the movie. I have no idea if the movie bag was the first ever version of a foldover bag like that - there might have been versions before that as well.

It was a nice and sunny day yesterday so I took this out for the first time and it’s so fun and cheery! I wish I had bought it sooner so I could have tried it sooner I would’ve bought some more in various leathers/combo!

You are my bag twin. The first MM bag I bought was the grey Aphrodite. I then purchased a purple Aphrodite and an orange Zhoe. I absolutely love my orange nappa Zhoe. Best bag ever!!!

I should thank you as your picture inspired me to try it out during the last mega sale!

So MM did not come up with this design since the movie came out in 2006.
The original of this design is Patricia Field! Wow what an eye opener. I had no idea.

Beautiful color! Orange nappa looks much more versatile in your picture than in the swatch.

With my Light Pink Nappa Little Athena today. The light pink is much darker and more saturated than I expected, but matches the swatch exactly. I would describe it as a strong bubblegum pink. I did not like it initially as I was expecting a paler pink, but it's growing on me. I love nappa little athena, it holds my daily essentials well and the soft nappa feels so good when I touch it. The front pouch is very handy and where I keep my phone (iphone 8) with the magnetic closure.

I honestly think it's entirely possible that MM came up with this design by themselves anyway - I wouldn't worry about it too much

Seeing as I already have the orange Zhoe I will definitely take the dessert!!!

I have a reply from Marco regarding Dark blue nabuk Diva with dark blue nappa base:

"As far as dark blue Nappa I'll find something closer to dark blue Nabuk since Nabuk is darker and match wouldn't be the top. We surely have a dark blue calf to match dark blue Nabuk on your Diva."

I don't know how he will find dark blue calf but this is sounding like its going to be a really good combination!

I have given away both my midi Minerva's to a friend and my daughter. My daughter also has the Bronze Africa Midi Soulmate and I gave a friend the blue Africa midi Soulmate. Out of 40 or so bags I only have 26 myself. I have given quite a few to my daughter and to a couple of friends. I have only sold 2 bags. I mostly give them to my daughter and to any of my good friends who do not have well made great Italian made bags. I feel I have so many I like to spread them around to family and friends.
