Quick question (and apologies if it was asked and answered before, this is a longgg thread!): does the brand have any actual stores in Italy where someone could shop in person or is it carried at any Italian stores like La Rinascente? Thanks!

Marco has his own shop and bags are made there. On line purchases are the only way to buy one of his creations. Thus, he can keep prices down. While it is often scary to buy a bag sight unseen, there are descriptions and reviews of nearly all of his styles, leathers, colors and hardware in this thread. By reading these you can get a good idea what you may like. The helpful info has saved me from buying bags that I know will not work for me.

Yes, I assure you I am on it! Vlad needed to have spinal surgery that wasn't planned for and life has been insane. But I promise to cover it next week!

@Megs, I was so excited at first that you posted on this thread, and then read the awful news! Spinal surgery must be terrifying. Yes, best wishes for Vlad's recovery and also hope you have lots of support especially to take care of the kids...and also, we MM supporters appreciate any positive press for Marco, but only when you all are able...we would hope Vlad could be well enough to take some great photos!!!

So I submitted a post to Marco and its up on his new blog today. Looks like he replaced the "For the Love of Massaccesi" blog with a new format.

Marco sent back a very sweet thank you and would definitely appreciate more reviews from his "fan base" to help out first-time customers. It's clear from this thread that we all have a vested interest in keeping MM bags, not just surviving but thriving!
Hint, Hint!

--- Excerpt from his email --

Your work is exactly what I had in mind: a complete description of an MM style done by a customer. That's what I think customers want to read, something written directly by a person who carry a certain style with a clear description of all features.

The more styles we can show the better it is for MM visibility. These articles are extremely well appreciated by new customers.

Anybody else ready to jump on the bandwagon?

My BOTD is Aphrodite...maybe since I just carried her I will write on her, though Daphne has a wonderful YouTube video which helped inspire me to order her...

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.

Thank you all for the “likes” and the kind comments about my blog. I have emailed a link to my blog post about the Diane to Marco and he is going to use it. I might also write about my other bags for him. What format should I send to him, does anyone know?

I just wrote my review in the body of my email (plain text) and attached the photos to the email. He embedded the pics in the review as he saw fit.

I'm confused...you say he has his own shop but then say the only way to buy his bags is online. If he has a shop, shouldn't one be able to purchase bags there?

I think what she meant to say is he has his own workshop where he makes the bags. He sells them direct to consumer to keep the prices down. The way he does that is by selling directly through his website. I use this forum and the reference thread on MM bags to help me decide what bags styles and leathers to select. The ladies here are incredibly helpful and so is the owner of MM bags. I receive wonderful input and help. I have been buying bags from Marco for close to 14 years now. I previously bought the bags he made for a company called Belen Echandia, which is no longer around. I have been buying his MM branded bags for the last 5 years. I have never been disappointed in any of his bags the leather is amazing and the workmanship incredible. Welcome to your forum. There is a wealth of knowledge about MM bags on this forum and an abundance of help and opinions. All of which have been a wonderful source of inspiration and guidance when I am deciding on an MM style. Also last but not least another reason for not having a store are his bags are fully bespoke they are made especially for each lady who places an order and we all customize our bags with linings and Hardware and strap changes and sometimes an add on like a slip pocket etc. This is the reason we are all big supporters of MM bags. Where can you get a wonderful bespoke handbag at a reasonable price point.

Thanks. I did use the term "shop" meaning workshop, but I can see how that is confusing. I certainly agree with everything you said.
