Is Juliet in Midnight Tuscania? It's so beautiful!!! I need to get something in Midnight Tuscania.
Nice! I wondered before whether he should hop on a platform like Mirta, because he deserves to be more well-known. Mirta advertises quite aggressively on Facebook and can certainly help push his visibility.
But I do wish he would update the shop-pages on his own website.
I believe Marco is "shooting himself in the foot" by completely ignoring the shop-pages.
Diva Midi and Hera Midi still not even listed, a year after they were first introduced. Not even any proper illustrations of Diva. The few (in so many cases only one) leather options presented for each bag is random and incorrect, presenting both colours and leathers not avalable and in many cases not even showing the optimal leather for a spesific bag.
Personally, I do not believe I would have ordered a single bag based on the website alone...
(I blame you lot for all my MM bags
)
I wish someone could convince Marco to set aside 2 hours per week on updating shop-pages of the website.
Instead, Marco has chosen to promise 7 day per week customer service - "Massaccesi customer service/care is available 7 days a week." ! This is neither sensible or sustainable. There is no point in reading emails 24/7. Especially not when you inadvertantly will forget to reply to half of the questions in some of the emails...
I fear both Marco and the company will collapse.

I think, like with many artists, his strong suit is not business or marketing.But I do wish he would update the shop-pages on his own website.

I actually mentioned that to him once (a few years ago when he was about to close for good) - but he never commented on it and I didn’t bring up up again. I agree that Mirta is pretty aggressive with their marketing, but I also imagine they do take some overhead, thus driving up the prices? I actually have no idea.
MM needs someone’s bored 15 year old nephew who is good at coding to update the websiteBut I do wish he would update the shop-pages on his own website.

. It’s this generation’s equivalent of mowing a lawn One useful aspect of Mirta is that each designer only need sell 1-3 models on Mirta's website and in limited colours. My impression is that these bags need to be ready for instant order / already made and "on the shelf". The clue is to offer an unusual, eye-catching design, that tempts viewers to check out the designer's own website. I imagine Alexia Midis in 2 different Pompei colours would probably do the trick....

That’s a fantastic point! There was actually a designer on mirta one of whose bags (not on their site) I bought off eBay. I didn’t keep it (not my style), but it was a good...gateway drug

I agree with you on this. Also I think he works long hours and has a young family. Italy has been pretty strict with businesses and Covid with lots of restrictions on businesses on the hours they can work etc.
Paloma grey and silver Glamour will look great together in your Astra satchel.
Hi, @MorningGlory
You mentioned that you liked the pink Glamour, cherry blossom Pompei, and Amethyst Pompei best for color blocking. I have an Amethyst Pompei Little Athena, and I think its hue is much too dark to match nicely with the pink Glamour. Cherry blossom Pompei would be a much better complementary accent leather in my opinion because its hue is closer to that of pink Glamour’s.
A Siena Midi would be a very good style to highlight Glamour leather as an accent. I will post a graphic shortly.

Hi @Cleda, thank you! Yes, this is midnight blue Tuscania! It's from this year, so I think it's his current batch. It's a little lighter than another piece I have and I prefer this shade. I posted a comparison shot that's somewhere in this huge thread. And Tuscania, at least for me, has been a pretty non-delicate leather...looks great so far.
@MorningGlory,
Three leathers to consider for pairing with the pink Glamour leather are cherry blossom Pompei, rose nappa, and brownrose nappa. The dominant leather in the Siena Midi could be either cherry blossom Pompei or rose nappa (for the main, side, and bottom panels). A third leather could be brownrose nappa for the trim strip, handles, and long strap. Pink Glamour would be the accent leather on the top side panels.
I have brownrose nappa, and when I put it up next to the pink Glamour computer photo, it LOOKS like it would match, but I cannot tell if it really does or not. Same thing with the rose nappa and cherry blossom Pompei. I recommend that you ask Marco to pull all these leathers and give you his expert opinion on if any, some, or all three of these leathers would work with pink Glamour. As I don't have the appropriate software to create a digital mock-up, you can email Marco my rudimentary one below and ask him to translate it into a much better visual example for you.
If both rose nappa and brownrose nappa work with pink Glamour, then they would be the best combination (versus, say, cherry blossom Pompei and brownrose nappa) as they are both the same kind of leather.
I won't be offended if you change your mind and decide not to do this bag. It was a fun exercise for me.

Could someone be profiting of Marco, as in ordering as a customer and keeping the profit? Is that really Marco on the platform or someone acting as a reseller?
