Massaccesi Handbags

[christinemliu]

Just saw that Africa RT is available. So, I actually already have this leather
I asked Marco way back in January for a taupe colored leather, and he put aside a skin for me. I love his Africa leathers, as many have said it is durable, light and beautiful. The grain is large but not busy.

Presenting the mud Africa RT Minerva midi, Marine lining. This beauty is my favorite MM bag ever! The color is like a brownish grey, similar to Hermes etain. Very elegant and versatile.

Oh...I want one!!! Ahhh. Lovely. By the way, is that velcro portion in the middle a special request?

I know I said acid yellow, avocado green, light beige, capuccino or mud were my top 3 choices oh no I meant top 5 choices but I changed my mind. I am going with a deep red Little Muse. I have an amaranto red midi Selene but I want a small red bag. What is a mind if you cannot change it!!! At least that is what my best friend says. So I have changed it for the last time!!!! It takes me for ever to make a final decision. I second guess myself and last night I was a 100% sure I was going with mud. Of course I know why I changed I love color I always say I am going to get a neutral and then I see all these amazing colors and I cannot resist them. Deep Red Africa is what my final final final leather choice is.

Excellent choice. I love red.

Just ordered an Angel in avocado green Africa. This will be a new style for me, and I can't wait to feel this leather.

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?

My Athena arrived from Italy. China blue pebbled with marine lining. Some comparison shots for size.View attachment 4471735 View attachment 4471736

Oooh, she's so pretty! Congrats!
Thanks for the comoarison pics! She doesn't seem a lot bigger; does she feel bigger?

That short strap is everything. It really changes the look of the bag. You make the most thoughtful modifications!

I got my package a few days ago and am so happy with the Juliet Midi and Victoria Midi.
The metallic leathers are really so nice and light in weight.

Juliet Midi in Titanium Metallic with Juliet in Indigo Nappa in the back (bag is empty so it is slouching a bit)

Victoria Midi is taller and you can always shorten the hand straps if you prefer to hand hold your bags.
Currently the straps of the Victoria Midi is just right for carrying over the shoulder.

I'm on the fence about the size. Not too big for work, but maybe too big for off time. Pebbled may slouch visibly smaller. Took some pics with Grande Aura as it is a comfortable size for me.

I like both of these bags on you. You carry them both really well and they don't overwhelm you. If this is baby pebbled leather I have an Angelica in this leather and it has slouched a little. I got the pebbled Angelica a little over 2 years ago.

Thank you so much for the pics! It looks great on you! Both bags do.

Marco has stressed that the Africa leathers would be a one-time thing only. He told me this when I just emailed him my order. So if you are on the fence and are still thinking whether to order, this is your last chance!

 

[Kylacove]

Thanks. I second guess myself at both extremes on size. The smallest I like to go is Zhoe legend with rear pocket and the Athena is pushing my comfort level at the larger end. Midi Theia, Grande Aura, and midi Angel seem to be the sweet spot for size.

Just wanted to share my Iris Merinos Angel Midi. This is my favourite style of bag. I'm particularly happy with Merinos coz it's so light. I just ordered a scarlet red metallic calf Angel Midi, I admit am having 2nd thoughts coz of the leather weight. But the colour.... anyway am about 1.6m and 52kg.

Such a great color. I have been carrying my iris merinos Modena and I think it's a great summer look
