Massaccesi Handbags

[smile10281]

@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.

@tenKrat this is amazing!!! Ever since @MorningGlory posted the pictures of pink and blue Glamour with other similar colored leathers, I’ve been thinking about an order in one of these combinations. I asked Marco about a Victoria in pink Glamour and he suggested either cherry blossom Pompei or rose Nappa for the trim/bottom/handles. The pictures on his blog/promo of the Astra hobo and the little Selene actually utilize both - the accents on the Astra hobo are in
cherry blossom Pompei, and the contrasting leather on the little Selene is rose Nappa. I asked if he could share pictures comparing swatches of cherry blossom Pompei and rose Nappa with varying lighting, and he sent me the attached (one taken indoors and the other outdoors). From these pictures, as well as the images on his website and in @tenKrat’s post, cherry blossom is a little lighter but Marco thinks both would work well because Glamour has so many different shades. Marco added that the main thing he would consider is the style of the bag and softness you’d like to achieve - Nappa is softer compared to Pompei.

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?

So many bags on offer I think it is unlikely to be a reseller. We had better ask Marco

Oh my goodness, that really helps me. Thank you so much. I'm going to talk it over with Marco. Thank you!

I hadn't even thought of the rose nappa, I thought it was more brown. Thank you for posting the swatches.
I was just about to get the glamour in a midi Penelope and just do a normal purse but now I have more thinking to do!
Thank you!

My GPM is here! I wanted something in green vachetta, as I love the colour, and was thinking hard about which bag style to go with it. Thanks again to @smile10281 for sharing her modshots which helped me decide on the GPM. It is a rather large and very functional bag, with a large flat surface that helps showcase the leather.

I really love this emerald green colour. It is alot more vibrant than another green bag I have in Forest Pompei, the colour is not as 'flat' and uniform. Those parts with a brighter shade almost make the leather look like it is glowing.

The vachetta on this bag is quite different from the other 2 vachetta bags I have. It feels stiffer and looks more textured (veining), while my other 2 vachetta bags are very smooth and the leather feels more flexible. For some reason, I am more fearful of scratching this bag than those 2 bags, perhaps because I am so in love with how the colour looks now, I don't want anything to mar that perfect front panel.

Happy to help. That green is just perfect!!

I am totally loving the Ellen in light tan cuoio toscano leather. The beauty of this leather is that it does show marks from usage, like a beautiful aged saddle. I know this is not everyone’s cup of tea, and I used to worry about marks. Now I embrace them. It makes carrying my bags a joy instead of a worry.

The Ellen is perfect. I love the color and the leather. I agree with you the marks are from usage and enjoying your bag. I never worry about marks on leather bags from usage. I just love carrying and using my bags. I cannot wait to get my Ellen and Little Selene.

stunning leather!

The Little Ellen is perfect. I love the color and the leather. I agree with you the marks are from usage and enjoying your bag. I never worry about marks on leather bags from usage. I just love carrying and using my bags. I cannot wait to get my Little Ellen and Little Selene.

I wish he had made the Little Selene before I ordered mine. The midi is just a touch too big and the Little one would have been perfect, sigh.

Oops I meant the Ellen not Little Ellen. I am getting an Ellen in the handmade vachetta and little Selene in straw and accents of natural Cuoio Toscana.

I really like the size of the Ellen. And a straw Little Selene is going to be outstanding. I will be eager to see a picture of it!!!!

I, too, like the size of this bag! I received the rest of my orders from the Ellen promo. Here she is in lavender Pompei, with light gunmetal hardware and purple lining. I think the color of this leather is so pretty. Marco was spot on with his description (saturated lilac in low light to light lilac with some grey/ice in stronger light). The attached pictures show the bag with low, indirect sunlight (external shots of bag alone) and fluorescent lighting (inside of bag and mod shots). Like @southernbelle43 said, this bag is comfortable to wear, in the crook of the arm and over the shoulder or crossbody. I also agree with her that it is not the lightest bag, but the wide straps make for easier carry.

The only modification I made to the Ellen was a slight reduction in the length of the shoulder/crossbody strap.

The other items in my order were an Astra keychain, with added leather strap, in cherry blossom Pompei trimmed with lavender Pompei and light gunmetal hardware, and another little Ellen in melon Pompei with light gold hardware. The keychain is adorning my Ellen.

Please excuse the dirty mirror!

Love the Ellen in Lavendar, and your key chain makes a great charm for it. Looks great on you, too. All of these pics of the Ellen bag has really piqued my interest.
