Massaccesi Handbags

It just looks lighter because it’s in bright sunlight. Pompei has a nice sheen to it so that it’s reflective in an interesting way without the leather actually being shiny. Here’s a pic of the same bag in indoor lighting.

That explains the color difference! Thanks.

I have just placed my first order for 3 MM bags!

- Athena in black/red cherry nappa colourblock, with dark grey lining and silver hardware. Requested for extended handles as I prefer shoulder carry
- Daphne in dark green vachetta, with sage green lining and gold hardware. Requested to convert the flat handles to rolled ones
- Aura in sunflower merinos, with red lining and dark gunmetal hardware. Requested to slightly lengthen the strap as I would like to wear it crossbody

I'm so excited for these bags! Already plot... I mean, planning for my next ones (thinking of a Phoebe, Selene Midi Zip and Stella! And I want to get something in river blue vachetta )

Marco is a delight to communicate with and his responses are always so swift! It's such a refreshing change from the typical lukewarm customer service I get where I am (somewhere in Southeast Asia).

Also many thanks to @msd_bags for bearing with my many questions on nappa leather!

Btw, I noted that the available leathers as of 26 Aug just posted on Facebook did not include sunflower merinos. However, Marco still accepted my Aura order so I suppose he has some stock or is planning to ask the tannery for more. So if you don't see your preferred leather on Facebook, you can email Marco to check.

Happy to help dear!! And I can't wait to see your orders too!

Thank you! This is my first time seeing this pic so I must have also missed it when you posted it the first time. That is such a cool configuration! It's a spin on the Selene interior. On most bags I really miss exterior pocket(s) but somehow Marco's placements of his interior pockets for his totes help me miss it less if there aren't any.
Yes, so nice to have choices!!! But now I am paralyzed a bit after looking at all those available leathers...I want another Selene Zip Midi but now am torn in what leather and color...

You can think about the bag and how you want it to be, like slouchy or more rigid. Would a heavier leather matter to you or you need a lighter leather? I think after you find the direction on the look of the bag, you can think of which colors and leathers you have in your bag collection and decide if you want something similar or different.

I adapted my own blog post about my new Diane bag for Marco’s blog. There are now three posts on there. I could write some more about my other bags, but would it be better if other people contributed? I am sure that many of you have loads of gorgeous bags to write about! Let’s sing their praises as loud as we can to help Marco.

What a wonderful article. As are the other 2 also, I’ve just read them all. I enjoyed them very much, and such a great idea to write these for Marco’s site. I will contribute one very soon too

Here's my Tulipano inner bag in fuchsia metallic, which was a seasonal metallic color from last year.

Here's my new Calypso in french rose metallic, which is a seasonal color and was available last month.

These metallic colors are really bright and I prefer to choose a simpler bag style to show off the leather.

Marco did not list this french rose metallic as available but if you are interested, email Marco and he may be able to order it specially for you.

Love, love your Calypso! And that rose is just stunning

So, i saw this .....and thought—hmmmm. Those pythons Marco has. Wondering about doing this same look on a Mia. But wondering if Mia is too small to achieve a similar look? Any other styles maybe? I tend to do smaller bags, medium size at most.

I did not crop the prices cause, while i have and like my LV, there are a lot of quality issues, and its really incredible that Marco makes such high quality and gorgeous bags for us, at a fraction of this cost. And i actually just received an order and will post pix soon....first time I’ve seen mini Zhoe and midi Theia, and the style, leathers, quality, and craftsmanship are just out of this world.

How we all love Marco and his bags!
So my first thought for a similar look was Aurora; I believe Marco is able to add a top handle to Show and the Aura as well. But for a simpler colorblock, maybe a Little Athena?
All just thoughts!
Looking forward to your pics!

This is my newly arrived Zhoe Legend. Silver python lux with glitter silver pompeii. I asked for a 9 inch strap, I'm happy with the drop. But as you can see, the large clasps seem to be rubbing against the flap. I asked for a 1.5 inch width strap.

The 2nd pic is with my Penelope Messenger strap, which I believe is 0.8 inch width. I much prefer this smaller clasp.

I will probably order a 1.5 inch width strap but using the smaller clasps.

Zhoe Legend is one of my MM fave styles!! This is uniquely beautiful! But can I just say that I'm really scared of phyton prints...

Uh, autocorrect...*Show above was supposed to be Zhoe!
Speaking of which, wow, yours came out so luxe! The Pompeii really makes it pop.

I love it!!!! I’ve been thinking of doing a colorbock python bag but soooo broke. I’ve been on an art supplies binge.

I also think an Aura would make a great bag for a python combination. It is large enough and he could add a top handle to the Aura. He added a top handle to my little Zhoe in platinum pompei. I think it would be such a fun bag with a little python accent.

I am not a fan of a full python leather bag and never thought of a color block but I think that would be amazing. I am also bag broke but I am sorely tempted to get a python color block having seen the LV bag that Bagso7 posted.

Wow what a gorgeous looking Zhoe Legend. I love this combo amazing.
