I'm eyeing the Fiore Downt. (Downtown?) Brown...I haven't decided...but meanwhile, here's a pic of two Massaccesi bags I used this week, apparently I'm in a blue mood:

It's funny, I was thinking of letting the Calista Midi Messenger / Crossbody (bag on the left) go, but after using her, I've changed my mind. Funny how you realize how functional something is or that the leather relaxes into what you envisioned after you actually use the bag...
Oh, lambskin, you are beautiful. Eventually I will get a bag in this leather. I will wait for new styles.

Need some help. Am totally confuse about how to order and the cs policy seems like there are lots of individual tax charges… also how do I figure out how much the bags are in usd?
Thanks!
The best way to order is to email Marco at [email protected]

If you have questions or want input on a bag design before you order, Marco is very helpful and responsive to email. I often have a good idea of what I want, but seek out his recommendations on hardware or lining or other design elements.

Are you in the US? I have never had to pay any taxes on bags I've ordered. To figure out the cost in USD, I just google Euro to Dollar conversion and put in the total in Euros to get the dollar amount. Just total the amount for the bag, any customizations, and shipping cost. I do the regular shipping to the US, which is € 25,00. Marco will also send you a quote for your approval before he invoices you via PayPal.

What coach943 responded is right. I just wanted to add two notes. One, if you are in the US, as long as your US total is under $800, you won't get charged any custom duties. So if people are ordering multiple items, Marco is able to ship in separate packages to stay under that limit.
Second, as just happened to me today, for those who pay in PayPal, I learned to always choose the card issuer currency converter because it usually is lower than PP's. When you are checking out, there's an option to change it because it will usually default to PP's. But, I only get this option with my VISA card. I noticed when I was going to use Discover, I couldn't change it from PP's.
When you receive it, do reveal your order @songofthesea! Or feel free to ask more questions. The website is a little difficult to navigate. And part of my love for this brand came from the community here!

Same with me. Discover doesn’t give that PayPal conversion option but Visa does.

Here’s my Lemon Verona Phoebe on holiday with me. I love this shade of yellow!

Gorgeous. I was in Europe for 5 weeks in 2019. I carried a turquoise pebbled Phoebe as my travel bag. It was the perfect size. In the evenings I used my Africa lead Phoebe. Such a great bag for travel.

Yes, they are such versatile little bags! I’ve been carrying my Theia midi a lot this summer, but still using a Phoebe inside as an organizer, and then carrying a Phoebe on its own when I only want a small bag. They fit my basics perfectly (usually compact wallet, phone, lip product, sunglasses, sanitizing wipes), and can be carried any way that suits me that day (clutch/wristlet/leather or chain crossbody/doubled chain shoulder). I’ve collected a little tribe of 4, but I’m sure that I “need” at least one or two more…
