Massaccesi Handbags

[Kimbashop]

My first custom order from MM arrived! It had quite a journey. The box apparently arrived at customs only to be taken apart thrown away and then my new bag was re-boxed with another person’s skin products order! Her name and receipt for the product she bought is in the box so I will be mailing those to her. So weird. And sketchy.

But... here she is: Juliet midi in Bordeaux Verona. Absolutely gorgeous soft leather. And the color has settled variations from a vivid bright read to dark maroon. Dark gun metal hardware. Marco surprised me with the lining which is a pretty gray green. The only alteration I made was to add a back slip pocket

While I have two other preloved MM bags, this is my first new one. I have to say that the tag bearing my name makes the experience extra special.

That is perfect. Verona is killer and the color is so unique! I wish I had gotten my Juliet in Verona, sigh.

Thank you! The Verona just confirms my passion for smooshy leathers. It has such a lovely feel. Is Merinos like that?

It’s hard to capture the color. There is a brightness to it that disappears in indirect or indoor light. A chameleon color.

It is a true chameleon. Merinos is much softer than Verona. It is silky while Verona is earthy. I sold my Merinos bags. They are lighter, but they collapsed too much for me. My Selene was a puddle of pretty leather. But it started driving me batty. Verona is soft, but holds its shape better.

I have a Verona and a Merino bag. Compared to Verona the Merino seems dull in my opinion. I would choose Verona over Merino any time.

Marco emailed me at the end of last week to say my order would arrive by Monday, it's now Thursday. I'm in the UK and have never experienced any delays with my white boxes. I've been loitering around the house all week in case it arrives! I checked the Poste Italiane website and today it went from In Transit to Delivering. So I guess that's a good sign... I'll update as soon as it gets here - I think I might be the first to receive a Saturn wallet? I also ordered another Zhoe

You should be able to use your tracking number from Marco on the parcelforce website to see where it is in the process in the UK if that helps.

My parcel sat in Milan for a week but arrived this morning: Diana in silver and titanium metallic pebbled leather with dark gunmetal fittings and silver lining. I am ill so have only managed one photo so far. Will try to take more tomorrow.

That strap attachment with the rings is an unusual feature I didn’t notice before. it makes such a difference seeing a real life bag.

Oh, I love Diana! These new styles are such lookers and create so much interest.

That tag is everything haha! Marco was so nice in personalizing cards for me when I ordered items as gifts for my daughter's. Oh and Juliet Midi is one of my favorite MM styles, so functional.

We all have different tastes and even mine changes depending on my mood...for smooshiness and lightness, you can't beat merinos, especially the darker colors...but Verona does soften, has a slight sheen, and very durable.

And joining @tenKrat to highlight some of the older styles, I couldn't believe how many cards I could fit into Little Penelope! Here is pebbled navy:

+1 I don't have any Merinos bags left.

Your new bag is gorgeous. I love the color and the style is one of my favorites. How strange to get someone else's beauty products and kind of you to mail them on. I remember an order that was lost by USPS being sold on eBay. The person selling them indicated that they bought them in a USPS auction. I cannot understand how the postal service can do that especially when the name of the company is on the bag and the person name who is getting it. How difficult would it be to contact MM. The other problem is I know how well packed and labeled the boxes are from MM. It takes me a long time to remove all the paperwork on the box and even longer to remove all the tape etc and get into the box. How they lose this I have no idea. Along with the paperwork for customs with the sender and receivers info and details there is a second label in large lettering with my name and address and who sent it. It boggles my mind that there are still lost packages by USPS.

Having said that I am pleased you got your bag it is gorgeous. Enjoy.

Your vacchetta one is very pretty. Made me want to order a vacchetta midi Juliet someday.

Thank you. There is a problem with using vacchetta on my bag. The leather is thick, so when they turned it to make the zipper part it is a tight fit, a very tight fit. I have pulled both tabs loose; they come apart because I have to pull so hard. I have tried massaging the leather, but it is thick and is not going anywhere. My issue may be a one time thing and others' bags in vacchetta may work fine. Perhaps the full sized Juliet would make a difference. So I leave the bag unzipped all the time. This is not unusual for me because I don't zip them most of time. So this is not bothering me that much. But I want to share the issue. These pictures will show you want I mean. You can see where the leather is being rubbed when the zipper is used.

I got my Aurora in nappa. It’s so pretty, smell amazing, and comes with a key which I didn’t know. But it’s so small. It’s been a while so I guess I don’t remember at this point how small it was in the Kickstarter pictures. My midi Juliet is much bigger to put it in perspective. I am not sure if there have been more reveals here for Auroras. I have been away and haven’t kept up with the thread. Due to its size it’s going to be a date night bag for me.

Please post a photo for us so we can admire it when you have time.

I agree @anabg photos please . Maybe some comparisons with other small MM bags if you get the time.
