I've had a croco Zhoe for more than three years now, and it's not gotten excessively soft. I would prioritize croco for a structured bag.

I saw this on the Massaccesi website today in his blog.
Customer images on social media are really important to spread the word for small brands like Massaccesi.
I am not really good at taking modshots but I think I am going to take one and post it on Instagram.
The reason this is not on their FB page is I believe recently FB will not allow any competitions or promotions like this posted on FB.

I have just got my shipping confirmation from Marco that my order in the sorrento goat skin is on its way! It should be here by end of next week.
I am receiving a white box from Italy tomorrow (According to UPS!). Pictures to come ....
Me 3! I’m expecting a grande Penelope messenger.
Looking forward to seeing your pictures, @ajamy and @Kimbashop!

I can’t wait to see your new bag. I ordered the Grande Penelope Messenger in natural Cuoio. Would love to get your thoughts on how much this bag holds.
Thanks, @lenie! I’d love to see yours, too. I’ve been really curious about this style and will let you know my thoughts/share pics.
I just ordered mine at the last sale so it probably won’t be coming for another 6 weeks. I’ll post pics when I get it.
I recently made the tough decision to list a few of my bags on the BST group. A couple of them will be going to new homes shortly. Part of me feels a little sad because the bags are beautiful, but I do legitimately want them to go to new homes where they will be used!
I am torn about whether to let go of my Purple Africa Aurora. It is SUCH a gorgeous bag but I can't bear to part with it, even though I have only used it once since getting it.

I recieved my Grande this week , will post some comparison pics later today!
Sorry to hear this. It sounds like you might regret letting go of your Aurora - were you considering selling it bc you hadn’t used it very much? Maybe you could hold onto it and defer the decision to sell it? Especially if that leather is no longer available..
Maybe it's a sign that you are not ready to part with your africa Aurora?
Similarly I am thinking of letting go of my crimson red little Valerie. My regret regarding the bag stems from the gold hardware. It clashes with the vibrant crimson red in a way that I don't like...
If I do plan to let the bag go, I will choose silver hardware next time with a neutral colour in verona leather, either in dark taupe or black. I would have considered dark red fiore, but red is not an option right now since I already have two red bags with silver hardware.

Here a couple of comparison pics of the Grand Penelope messenger.
My initial thought was that the bag was much smaller than I had envisioned.. until I compared it to my regular sized Victoria .. lol.. I chose the Grande in the Napa.. a bit unusual choise for me, but I got some bags yrs back in the Napa, andI really like how soft the leather age and how hardy the leather is. My bag is made in Black Cherry napa.
Compared with the reg Penny messenger, then together with the Phoebe .. lastly with my now a bit worn Victoria in Aquila Grey

Thanks so much for these pictures - the comparisons are really helpful, especially the one with your Victoria.
I’m surprised that the dimensions of these 2 are similar. This makes me more excited for this bag! I love the color and leather you chose for your grande. That black cherry nappa is beautiful!
Thank you! Yes, I was surprised as well! Of course it wont hold the same with the 3 compartments and it is not as deep, but that the size is so like the Victoria sort of baffled me.. in a good way!Thanks so much for these pictures - the comparisons are really helpful, especially the one with your Victoria.
