Massaccesi Handbags

[Claudia Herzog]

I will go Rust brown. but smoke gray is still beautiful.
Have to order second bag!?

Yes! Do it and post the beautiful reveal photos of both!

Darn you!!! I had no intention of buying a bag in this promo. I was perfectly happy with the bags I have, no desire for another one. I just got my lovely Bouquet. Then you had to post these swatches. And the dark green vacchetta yelled, “buy me, buy me.” Argggggggg Soooooool

Little Selene in dark green vacchetta
Gold hardware
Yellow lining
Inside with four slip pockets and one zipper. (My Little Miss M that I bought several years ago came with the five pockets even though I did not ask for them and I love it.)

Dark green is beautiful! I love my dark green Charlotte.

I just received my first Bouquet order. The regular Bouquet is the sample one in Caramel Merinos and the Bouquet midi is in the dark chocolate Merinos. Please excuse the poor pics-must so excited to get them and wanted to share with my MM friends. The bags are fully stuffed with tissue paper in the pics.

The Bouquet is the love child of the Soulmate and Aphrodite. A little dressier/elegant than the Soulmate but it still has the soft folds. A little more interest than the Aphrodite with the folds and side ties. Love this style!

The Merinos and other soft leathers are perfect for the Bouquet to highlight the beautiful folds and design elements. Can’t wait to get my Velvet Verona Bouquet midis!

The Bouquet midi is the perfect everyday bag size. It easily holds my full size wallet and other essentials with room to spare. The regular Bouquet is great for days when you need to carry a bit more. The softer leathers really make the bag seems smaller than actual measurements.

Love the bags, @lenie ! Especially the Bouquet midi. Do you mind me asking you what’s your height? I’m trying to figure out if the midi would look too small for me.

I received for Xmas 3 Massaccesi bags. I immediately moved into this one.
Soulmate Midi: handmade vacchetta in tan with dark brown nappa handles, tortilla lining, and gold hardware. I think I also asked for the handles to be elongated by an inch for easy shoulder carry. The leather is thick and pretty soft. The color in the photos is true to life. There is some variation in the color but not much. I am very happy with it and now want another one in the dark green vacchetta.

What a gorgeous and deeply saturate colour @samfalstaff . Do you find the leather to be soft/slouchy enough for a Soulmate? I seem to remember that you have some verona bags too, which leather do you think is more slouchy?

My full-sized Bouquet tote in Ginger Cuoio Toscano arrived today. It has dark gunmetal hardware and marine lining. I am in love with this color. It is the perfect terra cotta shade. This is my first bag in the Cuoio Toscano. It's a thick, chewy leather. I will definitely be ordering this leather again.

I love tote bags. This is a bit more north-south than what I usually go for, but it is very comfortable on the shoulder. I got the strap drop customized at 26 cm, which I have decided is the perfect length for me.

I think this is the first photo of the ginger cuoio toscano that I've seen. I see so many other browns on this thread but rarely the ginger cuoio toscano, and it's one of the colours that I've been the most curious about. Reminds me of burnt autumn leaves, love it.

I LOVE my anthracite Selene. The leather wears like iron and it is a beautiful blue-grey hue. I am really picky about grey and to me this color is perfection. I'm sure it will look really beautiful in the bouquet style. I have a midi soulmate in velvet Verona and I have to be more careful with that bag than with my other MMs. The corners have started to rub down a bit, as anything sueded tends to do. I can only imagine that this might happen with the midi bouquet since it is designed to sit close to the body and over the shoulder and therefore more prone to rubbing.

Thanks for the heads up about velvet verona corners rubbing. I have a calista midi in velvet verona and so far it hasn't rubbed yet, but it has round edges and not corners like a soulmate. I'm thinking of ordering a bouquet midi next, and currently I'm thinking of either in dark brown tuscania, dark chocolate merinos, or purple velvet verona but your note about the corners rubbing is something that I would need to take into consideration.

I went to Rust brown Little Miss M, and Smoke gray Muse midi.

Hi @carterazo, and, I'm talking about Daphne for sure! Light blue lining is also one of my favorites. So I already have a Little Selene, in tan handmade vacchetta, nut lambskin lining (really luxurious), also inspired by @tenKrat:

And just a note to anyone considering, Little Selene doesn't automatically come with a crossbody strap or crossbody attachments, so you'll need to request that if you want them. This is a great size, it's not really that little. Here it is compared to Selene Zip Midi:

Oooh! that tan leather looks so yummy! The dimensions for the Little Selene makes it seem quite small, but your picture makes me think it is rather roomy. Now I want to change my order again.

Here is a picture of Smoke grey next to Dark Taupe vachetta from Marco.

Aaarrrgh! Now I want something in that dark taupe! There is no hope for me.

Trying to decided on a color for this MIDI Minerva (I’m pretty sure I’m going to go for this promo and pretty sure that is the style I’m going with), and I can’t decide between tan or rust brown. I was strongly leaning towards tan but was asking Marco questions about the colors and he sent me this photo:
View attachment 5294972
Now I don’t know because I feel like I like both tan and rust brown equally! Eek, how does one choose?!

The navy and Air Force blue are also really calling to me, but at least the navy is a standard color so I don’t feel the need to jump on it. And, I like the mint green WAY better in this photo than on the website and kind of want to get something small in it since I’m a sucker for mint and Tiffany blue type colors. I thought maybe a Little Penelope, but I already have one that I never use. I would do a regular Penelope, but I have a Tiffany Blue pebbled Penelope on it’s way to me, and I feel like it’s too similar to justify both (though had I know this mint was coming, I would have waited and gotten the Penelope in this!). Penelope Midi is a thought but I have one in Velvet Verona on it’s way to me, and I’m not ever sure how or if a I’ll use it yet, so if feels silly and premature to order a second one in mint handmade vacchetta. So I don’t know…maybe I gain some sense and resin and pass on the mint?

Oh wow! The colors on this picture look so good! The rust brown is really calling me now - and I don't even do brown. The mint green is lovely! Aargh! I have similar thoughts and dilemas as you. Sorry, I'm no help, but thanks for posting this picture.

Someone mentioned (actually I think two someones) they would like a Charlotte satchel midi. I’m wondering if he would already be able to do that since he has the different sizes of the Charlotte shoulder bag and it appears like it would just be a handle change. I might ask him cuz if I could get a midi Charlotte satchel I might need that too

Really? I would love that! I actually asked him about the possibility of modifying the Charlotte midi SB - eliminating the long strap and replacing it with the short rolled handles. I am still waiting to hear from him. This would be the perfect size for me.

This is absolutely gorgeous, @coach943. To me, the most perfect Bouquet .

My Bouquet Midi in Amber Tan Cuoio Toscano is still not made,- Marco run out of leather, we are waiting for the tannery to produce more.

Seeing your bag, I have decided to cancel the contrast stitching on mine .
But I am also wondering whether I should change my order to full sized Bouquet... But how heavy is it in Cuoio Toscano...?
Can you please tell me what your Bouquet weighs?

I went to Rust brown Little Miss M, and Smoke gray Muse midi.

Oh my gosh I love both of those!!!

Ooooo lemme know what he says cuz I think I’d love that too! I like the regular Charlotte satchel but it is on the bigger side and I’ll probably use it for work but I’d love a midi one for more of an every day carry size!

@Fancyfree Mine weighs 1 pound, 13 oz. I feel like it is a bit heavy, but it is also a pretty large bag.

 

[carterazo]

I cannot quit this bag!!!

Oh so pretty! What leather color is this? It looks lighter than tan - just perfect.

I finally opened this and moved right in! Tri color Diva midi in nappa. Black, dark grey, and either light grey or Paloma grey (I asked Marco to choose.) The lining is fuchsia lamb. View attachment 5284963View attachment 5284963View attachment 5284964

Oh, @Sickgrl13 your colorblocking always leaves me drooling. Another beauty. This one is just stunning!

 

[carterazo]

A white box arrived! Astra satchel in amaranto pebbled with Mia clasp. I previously asked for suggestions on the clasp and received helpful feedback, so instead of a magnetic closure i asked Marco to change the clasp. I prefer the Mia clasp to the astra one as it is easier to open/close.

Love both my Astras! View attachment 5286654

I believe it was leftover sauro tan maybe? It’s the perfect hue of golden tan!
