If we are group ordering tuscania bordeaux, then I'll get another Little Minerva.
If tuscania midnight blue, I'll get an SLG.
Tuscania is probably one of my favourite MM leathers, hopefully at some point he can do a tuscania promotion where he buys 1 skin of each colour (since 1 skin = 5 bags).

That would be fantastic.
Bordeaux...Dark brown... Cobblestone....Blue...
Tuscania is so unique in being both elegant AND rustic/natural AND rediculously light weight :girlsigh:

I will ask Marco to make sure! I participated in a group bespoke for Sauro tan vacchetta a few years ago and everyone could order whatever model they liked :smile:.

This is amazing, thank you:smile:

I’ll bring this suggestion up to Marco the next time I place an order with him (which may or may not be tomorrow as I’m super tempted with the Sacramento green :biggrin:)

Hi all and @Cleda, I just wanted to chime in that from my experience, Sheen wasn't plasticky feeling to me at all, especially when broken in. It felt actually velvety. I agree with Marco; I do think Tuscania feels similar, just slightly more chewy. It is similar to Balenciaga's leather if that helps.
Here is a picture with flash of a midnight blue Flora with an Africa Penelope behind it. Under that is a picture of a sage green Athene (Sheen) Demetra...it definitely is coming off a little more shiny, especially the middle, than IRL. Look at the edges of the bag for more accuracy:

Thanks for sharing these photos! Really glad to know it is not plasticky!

While my heart was originally set on a midnight blue Tuscania, I do miss having a bordeaux one. How many votes do we have for each color? @Fancyfree @afroken @Cleda @SouthernPurseGal and I feel like I'm forgetting someone :smile:?

I am good with either that clocks up enough for a group order first! Likely getting a Penelope with extra crossbody strap.

It's the last day of Sheen promotion and I am still agonising over the colours... Do you all just order what catches your eye, but end up not using it much, or do you really consider how it fits in your wardrobe?

Hi,

thank you so much for your answer, I will now go and try that. I’m only on page 68 but I intend to read them all! I feel all of your excitement with the brand’s creation and all the leathers... and then shipments being late, and I know at some point the brand was about to go under and you guys went to the rescue with massive orders!
Better than a novel honestly!
I’m spanish and i grew up with handmade bags and riding boots from Ubrique (not saying that my mom bought a thousand bags each day lol but she had a few really good quality ones and would take care of the leather and wrap them in silk scarves and stuff them with newspapers in the closet... that closet was my forbidden paradise as a kid). Then we would go to Florence almost every year and I remember walking the San Lorenzo market and seeing all those little shops with wallets and tiny purses and big totes in all kinds of leather, from squishy hobos to smart men’s briefcases...
then i saw this brand and I instantly recognized that quality, that craftsmanship and that italian design. I can almost smell your bags when i see the pictures! I’ve never seen such a variety of leathers, colors, lining and hardware though!! Way better service than Balenciaga or Bottega or Fendi or any other big brands
Drooling over the little minerva and the little athena, although i think the former might weight a bit too much for my liking. I don’t have any red bags so I might save up for that one in red... perhaps with a pouch AND a wallet...
I love seeing other bag enthusiasts taking the time to support a true artisan!

What I value most about Massaccessi, besides the quality, is the ability to customise the bags. I can decide what strap I want (chain/ leather/ long or short), type of leather and whether to colour-block a bag. It's so fun to see your creation come to life under the hands of the Massaccesi team.

I have both Little Minerva and Little Athena, and love them both! Weight depends heavily on the type of leather you choose. Do you like bags that are stiffer and more structured (Little Athena), or more slouchy (Little Minerva)? They have different openings too, I prefer Little Minerva's magnet opening, it's very easy to get in and out, compared to the stiffer zipper on Little Athena. Though the latter is more secure.

For your reference:

This is what Marco told me!
“We often worked with group orders in the past and we've always offered 20% off, free lining and free hw upgrade for the same style.
It can be ok to order different styles and different combinations but, in that case, I can't offer a 20% off with our so low mark-up. I can apply a 10% off, no more than that.
Obviously small leather goods aren't part of this kind of orders. We start with Penelope Messenger. Less expensive items are out of group orders (except if it's a second bag, part of the same order).”

Ooh I wonder if a Penelope can be part of the Tuscania group buy without the 10% off... I really do not want to buy another big bag until I sell a few.
