Massaccesi Handbags

Too much information, @djfmn!

Juliet was too big for my needs. The Midi is perfect.

Oops sorry if it is too much information. Juliet was way too big for me but Midi Juliet is a much better size. I think a number of ladies felt the same way and preferred a midi size Juliet. I have often wondered if Marco ever looked at the numbers of large bags ordered vs midi size bags ordered to see what was ordered more often or in greater numbers. If I were to guess or perhaps because I prefer smaller bags I would say smaller bags. Maybe I am biased because I prefer smaller bags!!!

So I'm following all these posts with great interest. It doesn't seem like Marco will be closing any time soon with all these additional orders! I've already received my final order (4 bags) and won't be able to buy any more for quite some time. However, assuming he does continue, I have my eye on a few more styles. Can someone tell me whether the regular Juliet is big enough to use as a weekend bag?? And how does it compare to the Siena?

@bonniekir I think Bonnie might have both of these styles. I have neither of them.

I have regular Juliet and would say it’s OK as a small weekender. But I carry a lot of stuff. It’s a fantastic work bag and also great for general carry.

Here is the information from Marco about midi Juliet:

Approximately Juliet Midi will have these measurements:

Width at base: 10.6″ (cm. 27)
Height: 6.9″ (cm. 17,5)
Depth at base: 4.7″ (cm. 12)

Price € 335,00 (no rebates since bag has to be created just for the bespoke group)

For your reference here are regular Juliet details:
Width at base: 13.6″ (cm. 34,5)
Height: 8.85″ (cm. 22,5)
Depth at base: 6.3″ (cm. 16)

Interesting!
This will actually be too small for what I find looks good on me, proportionally. I had a smaller satchel/bauletto from another designer which I gifted away because it made me look rotund.
For comparison here are Daphne measurements, which many know (and love):
Width: 11.8' (cm. 30)
Height: 9.45” (cm. 24)
Depth: 4.7” (cm. 12)
Top handle drop: 5.5″ (cm. 14)
Messenger strap max. length: 46.5” (cm. 118)

The Top width of my Mia is listed as 10.2 in. and the height is the same as the Juliet midi at 6.9 in. So, it is quite small for a midi version of a east-west satchel. I think MM usually refers to this size as Little. I’m interested in how it turns out.

Wow, thank you djfmn for all your efforts, both with the updated leathers and this awesome bespoke! I just wanted to make sure when you said no rebates, this means there is not the additional 20% off the €335?

The Juliet Midi is sooo tempting. That size for a barrel bag is my sweet spot. It's similar to a Dooney Mini Satchel and a Coach Mini Bennett, and as someone said, a LV Speedy 25....I already was influenced by someone's YouTube video on the Aphrodite (thank you to those making them!!!) and ordered one of those...

None will be good as a reg weekender.. but great as work bags

I hope you know that I was kidding! More like, knowing all this information is not good for my resolve to not place another order.

Christinemliu there is no 20% off on this bag because it is a special bespoke. I am also really tempted by the Juliet Midi. I am seriously considering changing my order of a Little Muse to the Midi Juliet.

Of course I know you were kidding!!! Exactly my thoughts but I was teasing you as well!!! I knew I might break your resolve as I am breaking mine. Oh well.

Daphne’s height is a bit deceiving though, there’s at least 1-2” at the top that isn’t actually usable space due to the design of the raised sides along either side of the zipper.

I sold my Daphne, but found that the vertical height was a bit too much... my things sort of hung out in the bottom half of the bag and the opening felt a bit constricted.

Midi Juliet may just be a Goldilocks bag!

hahah! I did. I emailed Marco about one in Orange Tan Lamb. I missed my BE Hold Me in Orange and the fun we had doing the bespoke. This feels like it!

I had an orange Hold Me that I gave to a really good friend of mine. She still has it and loves it. I really want a midi Juliet but I wanted the sea green and he has none left. So now I have to decide. Too many pink bags too many blue bags. I am tempted with the tan or orange tan. But I really want the sea green.

What is this midi Juliet everyone is talking about? A photo?

Same here. Seems like there’s been a positive turnaround. New leather options and now a new style/bespoke seems promising about the future.
