Massaccesi Handbags

[bellebellebelle19]

Flora is my perfect size! So is Phoebe. Flora's advantage is the zipper, so it's easier to fill it up more. I looove Penelope but she's a bit big for me
She's great for travel, though. Sometimes I use Penelope midis in my everyday purse. For some reason I tend to forget her.

That was my struggle with Phoebe! I'd love a flap like on the Phoebe, but the smaller size of Flora is just perfect for me.

I have 3 full size Muse bags. Black Nappa, Black Cherry Nappa and aubergine Pompeii. Personally I like the snap closure rather than a zipper. I extended the handles on my bags by 2 inches so that I could shoulder carry but I also love carrying these in the crook of my arm or hand. Nappa and Pompeii both work beautiully for this style and I find them light. I do unsnap the sides sometimes if I am carrying my laptop. I'm not usually a structure bag fan, but this style I love and use for client meetings a lot.

VanBod1525, thanks for your opinion on the Muse style and your strap modification and leather types. I like hearing how everyone has loved this style. Muse Midi in Bluette Pompeii with the snap closure will be my choice based on the helpful advise of those TPF ladies who own her. The Nappa would be a good choice too for my second Muse someday, maybe more worry free? Hope the Pompei holds up over time.

I agree, Floras are wonderful, i have a bunch of different colors now and they are my go to everyday bag ....and when i need a larger bag, so essy to toss Flora into a tote etc.

I love Penelope Midis too! I ordered another one in Africa. Do you mean you still need a pencil case? If you want a small compact one, I first saw someone owned one on tPF and then i got one myself, from Leatherology. I have the one on the upper left, but they have a variety of choices now: View attachment 4493920

Oooh, I love pencil cases! Thanks for posting this!

I have the midi Muse in bluette pompei. It is totally different to any of my other bags - I usually go for fairly unstructured shoulder bags. But I really love this bag and use it often. The size is great for me as I have to carry quite a lot, due to my chronic illness: water bottle, meds etc. The colour is lovely too.

This is such a beautiful color. I love this blue and your scarf is perfect. Muse is a really fun bag.

Marco is adding styles to the website. In this past week I see that midi Angel and midi Victoria has been added to the website. Of course I immediately asked where midi Juliet is. He told me he is working on adding that style. His words "my dear Diane this all takes time" he is busy working on this at night is what he told me.

Today I have my lovely dark green vacchetta Little Tulipano. Such a fun bag.

Iride is on sale for 199€. The dimensions are now bigger. During the kickstarter it was listed as smaller than the Phoebe at 8.6 w and 5.2 high, now it’s listed as 9.5w and 6 h. For reference the Phoebe is 8.7w and 5.7h This was my favorite of the Kickstarter styles. I’ve been wanting a slightly larger Phoebe-like style for a while now!

Little Athena “ messenger” ready to roll. First time out, I think I’m in love. I especially like the Minerva strap.

Oh, I want one! Meant to ask what leather and color it was, but solved my own question...argh, now I want something in dark taupe verona!!! Such a classy, functional style in a beautiful leather!

Dark taupe Verona, it’s my first Verona and I love it... I describe the leather as that perfect shoe that fits in the store, it’s just yummie. navy lining, dark gunmetal. I have the traditional messenger strap too, and changed the strap hardware to Arianna. It is my new favorite.

Yes, the small size was a issue for me too. But this looks like a great size. Loving the pink!
