Astra hobo in mud verona with gold hardware and red lining. This turned out exactly as I hoped it would. My goal was to have a bag that I can reach into to grab what I want, thus, no zipper. I don't have to worry about security issues. And no the closure is not crooked, it was just the angle of the photo. I am not a good photographer. Ditto on the spot on the inside, not sure where that came from. Maybe I should delete all of these and start over!

As always the quality is impeccable and Marco chose the HW and lining. He knows I love red. The front strap with the clever hardware works perfectly to keep it closed but still allow my easy access. I am absoutely amazed at how light it is! I have never had a Massaccesi bag this size that is so light. I chose a shoulder strap because I hate crossbody carry. It chokes me to death, lol. I am thrilled with my latest MM.

I also had ordered a Penelope in Bluette Africa. I intend to use this as my mommy pouch inside of a diaper bag. Again, My photos aren’t the greatest-I’m sorry! I feel like these photos make it look more purple toned than I see in real life. The Bluette Africa is very similar to the cobalt blue metallic, which I knew and Marco had confirmed, so I do feel kind of silly getting to bags with basically the same color. But, I’m also a sucker for cobalt blue colors so I went ahead with it anyway.

I had Marco pick the lining and hardware, and he picked the light blue lining and dark gunmetal hardware-very happy with these choices! I also had a shoulder strap added.

The colour is so gorgeous! Do you mind sharing the costs of this? Is the shoulder strap and add on?

There's been so many that it's probably too much to quote, but I am loving everyone's reveals! Such beautiful creations. The choices you all have made are incredibly lovely. And a big welcome to those new to MM. As you can tell, the love is real haha.

Your bag is beautiful! I ordered a Grande Penelope Messenger in the taupe grey Fiore. I know it’s the lighting because it looks more tan in some pics and more taupe in others. How would you describe the color in real life-more tan, more taupe, or more grey? Which pic do you think captures the actual color well?
Thank you!

@lenie, the sun finally came out so here are two pics. The first one where Astra is facing towards you is fairly close to the actual color, I think it's maybe slightly darker.

Received my Astra satchel today. Originally requested purple pebbled from the swatch samples from a couple years ago but Marco said it wasn't available anymore. He sourced another purple pebbled which turns out to be a lovely dark bluish purple. Used wisteria metallic as the accent. Gold hardware.

That color is just stunning-like an Iris. I love how the bag looks in pebbled leather and the wisteria is the perfect accent color.

Ladies, my white box arrived on Wednesday, but I was a bit busy, so I could not post before. Here are my new beauties:
Astra satchel in Pompei amethyst with contrast strip in Fiore dark magenta and dark gunmetal hardware. This bag is/feels a bit bigger than I expected.

Modified Penelope in purple velvet Verona. I had originally ordered a Little Minerva in this leather, but I am no good with suede, so I asked Marco if I could change my mind. fortunately, he had not cut the bag yet, so it was ok.

Midi Calista in bluette Verona. This bag is everything I wanted when I first saw this style a couple years ago. The size is perfect and the leather is so yummy! (BTW, the bag is not crooked, I was in a hurry and took the picture from the side.)

these are all gorgeous -- congrats. I love seeing the Astra in all of these different color and leather choices -- Looks like a statement bag in Amethyst Pompei.

So excited...my Astra Satchel (Octane Pompei with Blush accent and dark gunmetal hardware) arrived today!! The lighting doesn’t do it justice and neither does my yawning cat. Marco has really outdone himself with this bag. My husband calls it a true showstopper. Loving seeing the other great color combos chosen by you ladies!

Another fabulous Astra! I have a bag in Pompei Octane (The Aurora Midi) and I just know that your bag must be beautiful in that colorway. I get so many compliments on that bag and the color, as will you I'm sure.

Wow! Marco works very hard:cool:

My Astra Hobo (Brownrose and Dark Taupe Nappa, Light pink lining, Dark Gunmetal hardware) already arrived!
She is very gorgeous, and hardware is beautiful and easy access.
I carry her this week.

Actually, She is less redness than these photo. I am not good photographer...

so pretty in this colorway. I haven't seen much of the brownrose nappa. It looks very elegant with the taupe.

There was a brand new for sale on the BST at a great price not too long ago if you want to try one. I am not sure if it is still there for sale. It was brown and really pretty.

Was it the larger version? I bought the larger version on ebay several months ago. It was too big, but I loved the style. I think the leather was brown/chocolate verona.
