Massaccesi Handbags

[samfalstaff]

I was also having difficulty. I was going bordeaux then changed to orange and I also like the Citrus and the grey. At least I have some time to make a final decision.

I asked Marco which one for a modeno midi because I just couldn't decide and my husband was no help. Marco suggested the dark brown, but then the bordeaux is just so beautiful and I'm afraid the dark brown will read black in low light. But then someone posted the dark brown Theia and...this has been my thought process for the past two days!!

I suspect Dark Brown Tuscania Modena would be very, very elegant and classy. More so than a Bordeaux Modena...

Has anybody used nappa leather for structured bags? I plan on getting one of the more structured designs in raspberry nappa. I know Marco can make magic but I was wondering how well does this leather hold up in structured bags. Tia

I have a Clio in eden green nappa. I had asked Marco to put less backing so it would have less structure, and still it is very structured. I love nappa for structured bags, it’s lightweight, easy to maintain, and have lots of colour options.

ETA: I’m not easy on that Clio at all. It has been hauled around during my errands, dragged in between packages, thrown about and basically took a beating during the times I’ve used her. It still looks as pristine as the day I got her and no wear to the structure.

My second MM bag in 2014 when MM first started producing his own line of bags is an orange nappa Zhoe. I have used this bag a lot and it still looks brand new. It is light to carry and the nappa holds up really well. I do keep my bags stuffed and in dust bags and I clean and moisturize them on a reasonably regular basis. Having said that I do not baby my bags and use them regularly.

A year or so ago a lady posted a dark brown Modena midi for sale and before I could snag it, it was gone. it was gorgeous!!

Doesn't it get scratches easily?

Nope! But funny enough that's actually what I don't like about nappa. I like veiny and vegetable tanned leather that have a more "natural" look, and would actually prefer leathers that scratches beautifully

But in bad weather, that’s another story...

I think that was me! I bought it for my mom and every time I saw it, I regretted letting it go. That's why I'm looking to get my very own.

ThanksI

I like veiny leather too but don't like scratches if you know what I mean..

I did it!
Yesterday I found out I landed the job I’ve been working for 1 year to get... so when the kids were asleep, we ordered fancy take out and I emailed to purchase my first massaccesi!
Thank you to all of you who offered your opinions. I went with little athena shoulder bag with gold hardware. I was debating for days between cuoio toscano and pompei. I wanted a smooth look, but I still wanted the feel of more traditional leather so in the end I went with raspberry NAPPA.
I’m waiting for the final details because I want the Theia strap, and marco said that we could add hooks on both ends of the strap because the bag has no rings, but I think the strap will have too many hooks. I will ask if we could add side rings to the side instead. Once that detail is finished I will pay through paypal.
The bag in nappa with that modification and 10% first time customer discount comes to 406€ including shipping (15€ to Spain)
I will leave the lining to your imagination until its reveal... funny I ordered a res bag on valentines day, just thought of that!
Happy valentine’s day!!

Congratulations! A wonderful Valentine’s gift. And a lovely choice in a bag. Nappa is a classic and it wears well. We will be waiting for photos in a few weeks.

Congratulations on the job that is such great news. Your first Massaccesi how exciting. I will be waiting to see the photos of your lovely new bag. Nappa is such a great leather one of my favorite MM leathers.

Congratulations with landing your dream job . That is certainly worthy of a new bag . And a lot of Cava

What a great idea to combine Theia strap with Little Athena !
I love Theia strap, so practical and cool.

Are you planning on keeping the side buckles of the Little Athena Shoulder bag?
(I ask because the side buckles are square, while the Theia strap hardware is more sircular )
