Today I ask for your prayers for the people of Oklahoma and my state, Arkansas, because of record flooding across the whole center of the state. Roads and parks are closed, snakes abound escaping the flood waters, farmers cannot plant crops and many will have their houses completely submerged. We are on high ground and the water will not reach us. Nature can be cruel at times.
This is a reminder about using' your bags and enjoying them, not worrying about little marks and scratches, etc. Life can happen and make a handbag totally irrelevant.

I was looking on eBay and came across a seller ( pets_home_heart from Lilburn, Georgia) that is selling some MM bags. This seller claims “This item was obtained through an auction that contained many items that were undelivered to its original purchaser. Therefore, since this was not originally mine, I do not have all the first hand details.” He/she has an Siena in Everose glitter pompei with marine lining, Penelope in Everose glitter pompei with marine lining, and a little Tulipano in pewter pompei with red lining for sale. These are the exact same bags I ordered and the box was lost in shipping and Marco had to remake the bags. I wonder if this is the lost shipment that somehow ended up getting sold.
I don’t know if Marco made these exact same bags for someone else. I did send him an email to let him know. I hope he was fully reimbursed for the lost shipment.

It is so curious how they managed to end up in an auction, unless it was the post office auction. And that the person just happened to put them on eBay where you would see it,. It would be too big a coincidence that he made the same bags for someone else.

I saw these too... Is it possible that lost was actually “lost” and items were then obtained via auction?

I wonder if the person mentioned that they were Massaccesi. THe ba gs always have the tag with the person's name, the name of the bag, etc. Or did she not mention whomade them, etc. That would be suspicious.

They conveniently cropped the name off of the tag in the picture. People can be so disappointing...

I also saw these .....and how terrible these “lost bags’ wound up on an auction site. For both Marco and for Lenie.....

There was a thread awhile back about a gal whose bag was stolen from her checked suitcase at an airport in CA. She found the bag listed on FP and alerted the police, who then asked FP not to sell it, but they did sell the bag. I dont recall what happened after that. Hopefully if Marco or Lenie contacts ebay they will at least suspend the auctions?.

This morning , before i read all of your posts, i actually emailed this seller about one of the bags. Letting them know that the prices were at retail and we would buy from the maker himself at those prices and that i would be interested in one of the Penelopes if the price was reduced.

The seller just responded to me and said they would be lowering the prices. Obviously i will not purchase bags stolen from Marco and Lenie. I am wondering if i should explain in a reply to this seller that these bags belong to someone who the package never reached? Or should i not say anything? Thoughts anyone?

If I was ordering Juliette amd wanted to stay in budget ( ha..) I agree.. I would replace zipper pocket w flat pocket w snap. Zipper is hard for me to manage w phone, and outer pocket is perfect for the phone.

Coastal jewel, I have been admiring your Juliet for a long time (lurking on this thread for a while, wondering if I should "go for it"!). If I like the bag in verona, I'm wondering about ordering it in a different leather. I'm impressed with how different the bag looks in athene, vacchetta, verona, pompei and merinos leathers. Your port marinos looks gorgeous. what do you think of the bag in this leather? What are its characteristics?
