Have these come in yet? Because I *need* to see the whole assortment!
Nope! Not my turn in the queue yet. It's only been a few weeks since I paid so I imagine my order will come up in February and I'll get it in a month or so. I did recently add bracelets and belts and custom monogram embossing to my order so I am probably more excited about the SLGs than the two bags!
Just stunning. I love the apple green lining with the purple. I think the velvet verona works really well with slouchy bags.
Beautiful bags. I love seeing the Minerva in this dark green color.I just received another shipment from MM. This one arrived in only 4 business days; I had initially thought this would come early February!
Here is the teal Flor Aura, silver lining, silver HW. It’s a little bigger than the Clio but only a bit. I like the Clio better as I really liked the buckle, but I think Flor looks stunning in a more minimalist style like Aura, as there isn’t much ornamentation to take away the leather’s unique characteristics. Very well made up to the last detail, as expected from MM.

Here is my favourite MM bag so far, and also the bag that lured me into this rabbit holeLittle Minerva in dark green nappa, purple lining, silver HW, with longer front flap and external slip pocket at the back. I had spent a long time trying to plan this one, asking everyone here whether to go with nappa or merinos, asking for pictures of different colours. I’m so glad with this creation in the end, it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Very happy with both bags

“bracelets and belts and custom monogram embossing”? How does this work? I didn’t know we could ask for all these requests?
MM has reintroduced the gorgeous Sheen Leather. There is an article on his blog and I received a newsletter. I bought about 4 or 5 BE Sheen leather bags about 15 years ago when MM was making bags for BE. I still have 2 of them. It is a light weight leather with interesting characteristics. https://www.marcomassaccesi.it/post/re-introducing-sheen-leather
The colors are really beautiful. I never thought he would get this leather again as I had asked him many times if there was any chance of getting some sheen leather. Super pleased he was able to convince his tannery to do a limited production run.

Ooooh magenta!! I will sound really dumb but what’s the difference between sheen and Aquila matte?
Um, no, my question may sound dumb...does this leather have a lot of "sheen"? It doesn't seem like it in the pictures which is actually what I want! If so, I'm eyeing anchor grey...
I am so confused.
Reintroduced?
I can't find any photos of previous MM bags in any Sheen leather
Its is a completely different leather. I think it is closer to Athene. MM used to have this leather when he made bags for Belen Echandia. It is a very lightweight leather with interesting sheen to it. It was one of my all time favorite BE leathers. Anyone who bought BE bags on this forum will know the Sheen leather and might have some better input than I have. @Odebdo knows this leather really well she might be better able to answer your question. So does @bonniekir she is also knowledgeable when it comes to this leather.

He did have some Sheen leather I know that Odebdo ordered a midi Selene or a Selene in sheen leather. He had a little of this leather but was not able to order any more. I think MM called it Athene but it is the same as Sheen. Athene and Sheen are identical from what I know. He had some Athene in about 2015/2016 if I remember correctly. It was a limited production run and it went very quickly. He was not able to get more of it. I missed out on Athene and asked him if there was any chance of getting some Athene or Sheen leather. He indicated that the tannery was not producing it any longer. He must have convinced the tannery to do a production run of Sheen/Athene for him.I am so confused.
