Massaccesi Handbags

[southernbelle43]

Here is the Little Athena Messenger in amethyst Pompei leather, dark gunmetal hw, and lilac lining. This color is unique and so pretty in real life. I requested a Minerva shoulder strap and a short strap for hand carry. The bag is really cute with the short strap and carried on the wrist or in the hand. I will try to post a mod shot of that later.

@Coastal jewel, will you be getting your Little Athena Messenger soon?

tenKrat I will honest. The little Athena was not a bag that I considered buying until I saw yours. That is so cute. I am totally rethinking my next purchase from MM. I love that bag.

I agree. Medium in weight compared to my other leathers. Talking about it made me want to get mine out and carry it. I have neglected it for a while. Here is my beauty (sorry about the background, I always seem to be at my desk when I decide to take a picture) :

That is one stunning bag! I would stop you on the street & comment on this bag! I am curious as to that Africa blue color. I have seen some posters refer to this blue color as Iced Blue Africa & some call it Blue Africa. Were there two Blue Africa blues in those first batches?

I only remember one blue. Here is a photo of the very first Africas that were offered. The bottom two were iced olive green and wine.

I was not even contemplating another bag, but the Coral Red and Orange are TDF! I have a Zhoe in Tangerine Nappa, which looks like an orange/red, so not sure which colour to go for...

And just for fun, do any of you remember that original dark violet merinos? I truly regret not getting a bag in that color. It was not available very long and I missed out on it.
The original is on the left and what they got in later was not the same color. We never did get the original color after that first offering sigh.

Humm, Verona vs Africa. Was thinking of a dark taupe Verona bag but the mud Africa looks nice as well. Marco is going to lead me to the poorhouse, but I well have beautiful accessories, lol.

My all time favorite MM leather is Africa metallics. I love love the lead Africa metallic it is such a great leather. Of course I love all metallics so I asked Marco if there was any chance he could get some more Africa leathers. He went to the tannery and here are the Africa leathers he was able to source. Ignore the label of AQUILA he said he was tired when he created the photos and labeled them incorrectly - they are all AFRICA leathers. The colors are amazing and Marco told me to introduce these leathers he is doing a 20% off on all MM styles through end of day Sunday. I am thinking a Little Muse or Little Athena with Tenkrats mods in perhaps acid yellow, light beige, avocado or mud. But I have until Sunday to decide.

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE NOT AQUILA LEATHERS THEY WERE LABELED INCORRECTLY THEY ARE AFRICA LEATHERS. ALSO THEY ARE NOT METALLIC THEY ARE RT LEATHERS WHICH ARE REGULAR TANNING PROCESS (No lux or metallic etc).

I think I'm going to have to jump on this. Such beautiful colors. Can someone explain the difference between Africa and pebbled? Does Africa leather do well in the rain? TIA

Love these! I had Marco add a back zipper pocket to the Theia as well. I just love this bag.

Now you know why I asked Marco if he could get some more Africa leather. It is my favorite leather. It wears well but is not too heavy amazing leather. The colors are stunning and it is a very different leather as you said.

Thanks! Disregard my other post. It looks like it wears well.

My metallic Africa does fine. I am not sure if this is the same as what Mine is?

There was only one Africa blue that I know of. It is the most stunning blue it is like a peacock it changes in the different light. One of the most amazing leathers that Marco ever had.

I love both those colors but I would ask Marco which is more similar to Tangerine nappa. He has the ability to put the samples next to the tangerine nappa.
