The Astra satchel is really classy looking. I just have a difficult time with bags that have the handle attached to the flap. When I am trying to get inside the bag and the handle is attached to the top flap, I find that I either have to put the bag down or cradle the bag in my arms to get inside. How do you ladies deal with this?

I'm not bothered by this. I just do the same. As long as the lock is easy to open, I'm ok with putting down the bag. But then again, a satchel is my favorite style of handbag.

I had a birthday this month. I gave everyone on my staff (4 ladies) a massaccesi. Two Angelicas, a little Athena and an Aura. These ladies have never carried a very nice bag before. The one with the Aura said she looked it up and found out --gasp---that these bags cost $129!! And she was horrified. I smiled, thinking yeah maybe you could get an SLG for that.

So funny! It was very sweet of you to gift your staff with MM bags. Lucky ladies!

I am loving the satchel too and if I end up ordering it, I will ask if the long strap D rings can be attached on the sides instead, like it is on the crossbody. This hopefully would alleviate what you're describing because I do know what you're talking about! Someone else has done this with the Mia I think (maybe @tenKrat?) and another style that I can't remember...

What color nappa are you considering? I have never forgotten the red cherry nappa. Unfortunately, that is not part of his stock. Not that I need another red bag. :lol:

That was the best! I did manage to get a Phoebe!

I'm not sure yet. I feel like I have to find 2 complimentary colors now :-s I'm not sure if I want to go dark or something lighter for the warmer seasons. I may go lighter because I have so many dark bags from him now.

Please let me know if the D rings can be attached to the sides. That would make a big difference for me.

I am definitely interested in getting that gorgeous Astra satchel. Out of the three I like its shape and proportions the most, and while I do have a similarly sized satchel handbag, I consider it more of a casual bag because of the print and material. I am thinking about a more 'classic black bag' look for my Astra, with something striking for that color block.

I am trying to decide between Nappa and Pompei leathers, but I do not have a full bag in either leather. Ladies who have both - how would you differentiate between the two? What qualities would you prefer for one over the other?

Oh my goodness, I haven't checked this thread in a while and I missed the Astra release! I LOVE the hobo. I'm going to miss out on the 20% off but I will be ordering one in the near future. In the meantime I can't wait to see what you ladies order :loveeyes:
