Since first discovering Massaccesi 18 months ago, I've admired photos of Verona bags but been hoping and waiting for the return of Chocolate and Dark Blue. No such luck. But I can't accept not ever owning a Verona bag...

I have been very efficient today :biggrin:.
Somehow I have managed to decide on and order 3 Verona bags within 8 hours...:whut::wtf::rolleyes:

Brown Calista. Red Garnet Calista. Black Hera Midi.

My goodness :hrmm:

@djfmn I remember reading that you have a verona Clio. How are you liking it? I’m thinking of ordering a Clio in one of the Verona leathers before they discontinue production. Did you ask for extra backing?

I love the Verona Clio. I did not ask for extra backing. I left it up to Marco to do the backing. It is holding up really well it's such a great bag in Verona.

Thank you dear! I am conflicted about it. Remember when we could not get Africa, then it came back? It may be that Verona will be produced again some time in the future. If I did not have a Verona bag I would quickly get one. Thankfully I have three.

I asked Marco about Verona and if it would ever come back like Africa leather and he said unfortunately it will not because the tannery is no longer going to make it. The Africa leather they still made but would not make it in a small enough quantity for a small business like MM. He said the reason he could get Africa leather is because the tannery made an exception and did a small quantity run for him but it was in conjunction with other larger manufacturers who order in much larger quantities. Verona leather there is no demand from larger European manufacturers and it has not been a leather that is well liked in Europe due to the lack of demand it is not worth while for the tannery to make it. Marco indicated they cannot keep making it for his very small orders. The larger manufacturers minimum purchase of Verona skins per color is for 80 bags. Marco indicated he could purchase smaller quantities because the tannery was making larger quantities for the other manufacturers and this enabled him to get Verona. He said he cannot understand why Verona has not been a popular leather in Europe because it is one of his favorite leathers. He said Verona will not be coming back. I asked him this question because I was wondering if I buy one last Verona bag or if I should wait. Now that I know Verona is definitely not going to be made again I am looking at my last Verona purchase and it might be an Astra.

Wow that's a real bummer. I am now debating wether to use the last remaining chips of the last root of my money tree one or two Verona bags. I carried my midi Calista in bluette Verona and she is perfection! I loooove this leather! :panic::angel::panic::sweatdrop:

Thank you so much for this information. I am so glad I have three verona bags because I have NO money tree now

Did you ask for any extensions for the shoulder strap of your Calista midi? I really shouldn’t buy more at this point but a teeny tiny part of my mind is wondering whether I should get a verona Calista midi as well, and whether the shoulder strap should be extended (I didn’t extend for my fiore Calista midi which is on the way).

Since everyone is probably looking at the remaining verona colors, I thought I would post a few pictures of my new garnet red verona saturn wallet. The color is pretty accurate. Hope this helps others with their decision. :smile:

Thank you so much. I have a Hera on order in garnet and haven’t seen anything other than swatches posted here. This is pretty. So it’s red with a little brown, right?
