Massaccesi Handbags

[orchidmyst]

Please excuse me sneaking in like that, I am usually only active in other parts of the forum but stumbled upon this thread months ago when I was looking for high quality handmade bags as alternatives to my designer ones that started disappointing me more and more. After months and months of lurking, I ordered 9 bags from Marco in March and April. All of you have been incredibly helpful with your wealth of knowledge, wonderful pictures and praises of Marco‘s bags. Thank you very much for the enthusiasm in this part of the forum, every page has been a pleasure to read.

Today I received my first batch and I could not be happier. Sharing pictures for reference (and because I feel they turned out so well):

Mia in Dark Amethyst Verona, light gunmetal hw and Silver lining

Minerva Midi in Amaranto Pebbled, dark grey lining and ordered with silver hw but came with light gold. I have to say I like the look with gold and it brings some variation to my silver hw heavy collection.

Rua Angelica in Purple Nappa with Silver hw and dark grey lining.

No alterations on any of the bags.

Already looking forward to receiving the rest of my orders! Been waiting impatiently but was sure the wait was worth it.

Thank you so much for sharing! I love hearing stories like yours as I'm sure you're not the only one who found MM's bags when searching for high quality leather bags (that's how I got here too).
Your pictures are really helpful. I have purple nappa and dark amethyst verona in different styles and your bags are so beautiful I can't stop staring at them. I want to order something in purple nappa now. I was a lurker myself too but I really benefitted from the pictures that everyone had posted, so thank you to everyone that ever posted a picture!

I need some advise from fellow MM ladies. My work uniform consists of black pants, pink top, and white jacket. Would my dark blue Africa Juliet look ok or strange?

It would look great with your uniform.

TIme for a fun game. Something happened...doesn’t matter what. But you can only keep ONE MM bag. Which one?
I will start. It would be my chocolate verona Theia midi with added outside pocket.

Argh, just one?! Probably my china blue Midi Divina - its the perfect-sized tote, I wear a lot of blue and I love the envelope pocket on the front! But I have the same bag in gold and I have lots of gold shoes, so it's a tough call, but the blue works all year round.

Well no wonder. That is beautiful.

Nice choices! The one MM not leaving me ever is the one in my avatar: dark chocolate merinos Soulmate Midi with navy lining!

Was that one of your first purchases?

I don't have anything in orange aquila, but it is gorgeous!! An orange that goes with a lot of things.

Yes!! It was! My first MM was off the BST, a full size Soulmate, but the Midi was my first direct from MM order...Juliet Midi though is a very close second for the all time favorites...

Ooh, great question! I have a giant MM bag, a medium MM bag, and a mini MM bag. I think I would go with the midi Sabrina I got from TotinScience, because it's just so versatile! It can be used a tote when I need a bigger bag, but also a more formal clutch/crossbody/handbag when I need a smaller. And the way it's colorblocked leaves a lot of options to wear

Great choice! I loved that bag from the first time TotinScience posted it!!!

I feel the same about the Juliet midi. I have another one coming. But if I could only have one, it would have to be the Theia because of the perfect size and how easy it is to carry when it molds against the body. Plus that genius strap!

Mine would have to be my black vacchetta Angelica... such a classic shape and leather!

It's very neutral for an orange, more like tan almost. So comfy on the shoulder and roomy!
