Oh dear @Fancyfree, thank you for the wonderful comment! Others have helped too; not just me. I'm just wanting to help bridge the new people who are used to the FB groups. But, my intention isn't that we left tPF and the ones on here behind. I know there are some who will stay here and I myself have received so much benefit here and am grateful for tPF community. I will still be here as well as on FB. There's also still a wealth of information in the many years of this thread.I feel a bit sad - "everyone" seems to have moved to Fb...
But it is totally understandable, considering we have not been permitted to have a MM forum on tPF, where we could have started threads for each design, leather etc.
I see the Fb group has attracted lots of new MM fans and customers!Which is brilliant
And I am SO impressed with all the work @christinemliu has been putting in![]()
Oh this will be so gorgeous @afroken ! The black Sorrento looks amazing.Ah! I was wondering why it has gotten so quiet here! Agreed about what you said, I miss the community here, but understandable with regards to lack of a MM forum.
On another hand I think I’ve almost nailed my sorrento order. Bouquet Midi in black, red lining, gold hardware, key clip extended long enough to reach bottom of the bag (thanks to your idea), no base studs, 10.6” shoulder drop, wider 1.2” crossbody strap (but in nappa as it’s more sturdier - I was thinking I could use the crossbody strap that comes with the Bouquet Midi with my other black crossbodies).
Same here. There are quite a few people who have lurked in this thread before taking the plunge to get their first MM bag. I can see that going to the wayside since most of the chatter is on FB. I enjoy both places, but definitely want to see this thread remain active for newbies that don’t use FB.I feel a bit sad - "everyone" seems to have moved to Fb...

That's true. I forget about that thread.We who love tPF can start by trying to post more photos of our bags on the handbag reference thread!
We often forget/do not think of it.
It is such a useful thread, and easy for anyone to find info and inspiration without having to go through >2500 pagesOur Massaccesi Handbags Reference Pictures Only ***no chatter***

I haven't left. I am still here. I bought one of MMs very first bags when he started MM. Before that I bought BE bags just after they first started. So I along with others have been here from the beginning and we are not going anywhere .I feel a bit sad - "everyone" seems to have moved to Fb...

I cannot wait to see what you finalize. I think Siena is such a beautiful style that we don’t see enough of and in these amazing sorrento leathers it will just be a star! Marco is the absolute best. I love that he even gets to know our preferences and advises us accordingly. He already knows when I’m trying to be too adventurous for myself LOL. He really wants us to love every creation.Ok so I reached out to the lovely @tenKrat to help me with a Sorrento leather bag. I love her creativity. I am getting a Sorrento leather midi Sienna. Her beautiful tweed and blue color blocked midi Sienna is my inspiration. I am not as adventurous when it comes to color blocking. This is what she designed for me.
I showed it to Marco and he said
"I like that idea. Siena is a good style to combine colors. I think that this contrast could be too strong. Dark brown is very dark and natural is very light. I'd go with a bit less distance between colors. For example you could consider a less dark brown. I will check if the tannery has a medium brown Sorrento in production.
Otherwise project is extremely nice!"
He is so accommodating. He is going to send me some photos of natural Sorrento with some darker brown options. I love the process of designing a bespoke bag. Especially when I get expert help from @tenKrat

I think the Clio would look great. I think of it as a more casual looking leather.I was going to hold out for a handmade vacchetta promo but could not resist sorrento. I’m thinking either Little Muse or Clio. Any thoughts on which one is more suitable with sorrento? Thank you![]()
