Massaccesi Handbags

I think this is it.

Wow, great review of both Penelope and Penelope midi! I had some trouble picturing the sizes as I kept thinking of them as flat small pouches but they fit quite a good deal of stuff.

I ordered a Sunflower merinos Penelope and a white Nappa Penelope midi with a crossbody strap, and it looks like they will be as useful as I imagined.

Just for teasing. I’ll be back with review later, but no more photo until Monday. [emoji29][emoji29][emoji29]

Acid nappa! Such a beautiful color

Second and final MM bag, Flora in platinum diamond front and back panel, with silver diamond side panels and strap, plus light gold hardware and standard silver lining. The platinum and silver colors together and gorgeous. I can't wait to wear this beauty out! I'm going to get so much use out of her and it's exactly what I wanted. I'm going to buy a short chain so I can bling her up even more, like in this picture linked.

What do you all think, should I get a silver chain to contrast the gold front, or should I get a gold chain to match the rest of the hardware?

What a beautiful little Flora! I would get both chains, gold and silver.

The coat I made from upcycling leather and cashmere to line it. I painted red stripes in my hair and I painted stripes on the boots and the children's chair there. I'm a lady who likes color! But a neutral bag...

Those of you with dark green vacchetta bags, how often do you carry it? What other colors do you pair it with? Would you consider it so dark it's a neutral?

I didn’t answer your first question earlier. I recently started using my dark green vacchetta Alexia Midi, and I plan to use it throughout the year. It will be especially appropriate this time of year.

Both are great choices. Glad to see you went for the white nappa. I have a white pebbled Flora, and because it’s small, I’m not so nervous about it being white.

I also added long straps for the two Penelopes I recently ordered. Excited for these convertible mini bags.

Oh....!!! Is that a modified Angelica? It looks wonderful with the removable long strap. Now you can change out the strap with other straps. Brilliant, @vink!

It’s like a totally brand new model for the A/W collection.

You are a quite talented seamstress. The coat is pretty and definitely a unique leather look.

I ordered an arctic nappa aphrodite initially, and when I saw your earlier picture of your arctic penelope midi I thought it was such nice color, but I did not want to repeat leathers.

Penelopes are such a good way to get some of Marco's nice leathers without buying a whole bag. I feel like I want to collect more different types and colors which is very dangerous.

Thanks for the mod shot. The midi soulmate looks like a nice mid size bag. I like that you chose matching color strap.

Thanks! Oh the sewing I had time for before the 4th kid was born!!

you guys are inspiring me to make a video review as well - my collection features Siena, Venus, Soulmate, Demetra, Minerva midi and Sabrinas (large and small). Might try doing one of those this weekend.

I'd be interested in seeing a video on the Venus and Minerva Midi. Pretty sure that both are too big for me, but would be interested in seeing how they hang...

Ladies with vacchetta bags: which is richer in color, mahogany or dark taupe? Which one really goes with everything? I imagine both are quite neutral. I really should be looking at black, buuut... As an I-rarely-use-a-brown-bag person, I am attracted to these two colors. Do they show a lot of variation irl? Sometimes pictures show more - or less of what is visible to the eye. Yes, I'm thinking of another bag.
