So I know I was supposed to wait it out a couple of months but I couldn't help it and emailed Marco on my choice of bags. Instead of 2 that I had wanted, surprise surprise I'm now going with 3! :biggrin: I asked Marco about his thoughts on the hardware and lining colours for each bag and he was SO quick to respond! (I was half hoping he'll take a few more days so I can "delay" my purchase, but who can fault such excellent customer service!!)

So my choices are:
Athena nappa in red cherry (possible colourblock but would have to think more about it) - Marco said light gold hardware and the default dark grey lining would be good.
Daphne pompei in dark green - I was considering a vacchetta in dark green (this combination has been on my mind since I started thinking about owning an MM bag) but I read in this thread that the vacchetta is quite heavy, which would be challenging on a Daphne since it's carried on the arm. Marco suggested light gold hardware and sage green lining which I think would be gorgeous!
Aura merinos in sunflower - I proposed dark gunmetal hardware and red lining and Marco agreed it would be totally amazing.

I've yet to put in my order but I think it won't be long before I do...!

I had a Daphne in vacchetta and it was not heavy. Daphne is a relatively small bag. I don't think you would find it onerously heavy at all in that leather.

I have a vachetta Little Tulipano and it is not too heavy at all. I just changed my Little Diana order from Crystal Goat in Snorkel blue to tangerine Cuoio Toscano which is a vachetta leather. The reason I changed from Crystal Goat in snorkel blue is because I have way too many blue bags just bought a Little Muse in sapphire blue. I thought an another orange bag would be nice to have. After that long winded response what I was wanting to say is that I agree Daphne is a smaller bag and in vachetta it will not be too heavy.
Welcome to our MM group we are so pleased you have joined us.

Ah was just coming to inquire about this - I wanted to post about it on PurseBlog but now will reach out to Marco to see best way to cover for them. I know so many of you are such huge fans and I wanted to look into it more myself!

Still no post about Massaccesi handbags on the PurseBlog. I see there is a blog post on Polene. I wonder if we will ever see a post on MM bags. We can only hope!!

Our Marco HAS stayed in business and I am a proud owner of way too many of his bags... I feel like a princess when I order. Where and when would you expect the designer to personally reach out to you by name? Hmmm.


I read of these ladies with somewhat “bespoke” orders of other brands at a higher price point and with many issues. We are truly blessed. This is note my friend who is going through breast cancer chemo received from MM.

Oh my dear Joan,

I'm sorry to hear you're living a so hard period and I'm happy you're ordering a gift for yourself. That's psychologically extremely important, to me it means you've chosen the right way to cross this difficult experience.
To me this is a further reason to put a bit of extra love "inside" your Luna, it is finally scheduled in very few days!

I send you all my love and support from Italy my dear Joan!

A big hug,
Marco


Just saying it would be wonderful for the Purse Forum to do a Blog post on this wonderful, not well known designer.

I thought they were going to do something about Marco's bags. I really wish they would. It really is an incredible experience to work with him AND get such quality bags at a reasonable price.

I read your lovely blog post. Marco has been asking for blog posts for his new MM blog on his website. Any chance you can send him this amazing post on your fabulous new bag. It is a great post and would be helpful to have it on his website.

I saw his announcement about the new blog but I only see the the old one "For the love of Massaccesi" that Colette used to run. So if we want to contribute, do we basically email him the posts/reviews? Or can we post directly?

I believe you email it to him and he puts it up in his blog.
