Massaccesi Handbags

[christinemliu]

I have three brown Massaccesis (espresso brown is actually my favorite color!). I would choose red, apple green, or beige lining, depending on the mood you're going for.

Yeah @Claudia Herzog !!! Another brown lover!!!

For dark brown Sorrento, I think light pink, lilac, light blue, red, and sage would be nice contrasting colors. For neutral colors, beige, tortilla, and cappuccino would look good.

I have a limited brown leather (Caiman iridescent) with lilac lining, and the combination is quite stunning.

@christinemliu I think you’re biggest fan of brown leather here, if I remembered correctly for my sorrento order, I’m now thinking of dark brown as a possible choice (my mind must’ve changed 194829572 times on what colour to get). Which lining colour (fabric) do you think goes well with the dark brown?

@Fancyfree you’re another brown colour lover I think Any recommendation on lining colour too?

Anyone else with any ideas for lining colour that goes well with brown, please give some recs! Thanks in advance!

Sage green? Here's my dark brown tuscania with sage green lining. Colors look a little lighter than they actually are in RL.

Light pink and light blue pair really well with brown. I think marine, red, and fuchsia would look gorgeous as well. Apple green would be quite fun. It is such a happy color. One of my favorite linings.

I think picking the lining for brown bags is really difficult. I typically like contrasting colors, but I find brown to be difficult.

I recently did dark brown with sage lining. It is my first bag with sage lining, and I really like it. Sage is definitely going to be in the running for brown bags in the future. Picture is here.

I did beige lining for my rust brown vacchetta. It turned out great, too. Picture is here.

I think I did the light fuchsia with my mahogany vacchetta Aphrodite. I don't think I have a photo of the lining, but the pink with it is not my favorite. I like the sage and beige lining better.

@Fancyfree , just an idea, you could always indicate to Marco in your order the particular shade you're looking for! Also, this was done later in the day, so I think indoor lighting.


@Devyn Danielle , I LOVE this Demetra!


@afroken, yes, hahaha, I'm flattered that you remember my love for brown! Soooo, you may have noticed that I've done lots of brown and blue: my favorite is light blue. I've also done navy but it can be a little dark. These are the ones I gravitate to, though @coach943 also made great choices (I love the beige with the rust Vacchetta)!

Thank you all!!! I'm going to take your sage advice (see what I did there? )

I'd like to run an idea with you ladies before I bother Marco again with so many questions. I'm also playing around with a Diva Midi as my sorrento order. The thing is, I find the shoulder strap width to be too narrow. Do you think a Minerva shoulder strap or Theia shoulder strap would be doable? As far as I could tell from photos, I don't think Diva Midi's shoulder strap is removable, so Marco would have to make some modifications.

Let me know your thoughts!

Oh, that will be so gorgeous!!!

Thank you. I am really excited about this order.

 

[Fancyfree]

I am truly dull and boring when it comes to choosing linings, leaning towards neutrals and minimum contrast
So Taupe for deep browns, Tortilla for paler browns and Tortilla for golden browns

Diva Midi's shoulder strap is removable. It also comes with a longer crossbody strap by default.

Here is Diva Midi with its shoulder strap.


With Minerva Midi's strap. Note the mismatch in strap width vs. the connecting part on body.


With Theia Midi's strap fully extended. I cannot shorten it because the current Theia strap buckle that's supposed to loop cannot fit through.


Hope this helps!

Adding here:

Obviously these all have different depths, but here's a poorly hand drawn comparison of the widths and heights of various small SLGs and small bags. Keep in mind they are approximate and shapes like Mia and Mini Zhoe fan out. I'm not sure the current dimensions of the Saturn wallet because I think Marco did change those since the Kickstarter. But, hope this helps for reference!
Grande Penelope Messenger would be off the page so that's why that one is not there. And...totally great if someone could do this better haha!!

Thank you so much, this is so helpful It didn’t even cross my mind that the clip on the Minerva shoulder strap is too oversized for the Diva Midi (though I’m sure Marco could change that if I asked). Good to know that the Diva shoulder strap is removable, I don’t know how I got the idea that it’s not

MM has the best community. Everyone is so helpful and generous with their knowledge and ideas here

Another vote for SAGE lining! I had it in my bordeaux midi Juliet and it was gorgeous! I think the brown tones in the sorrento leather will really pull out the green of the sage. It is a soft, subtle, and beautiful lining color.

I don't know how wide the thea strap is, but one thing to consider is the scale of the bag. It's a small/medium bag and with the tight circle closure you probably don't want a strap that is too wide.

Also the midi Diva strap is removable. I remove it when I wear my crossbody strap (he made that for me). Actually, the shoulder strap it came with is wider than the crossbody strap, and I like it better too.

Just in — Rust vacchetta, dark hardware, cappuccino lining, Mia top handle and other customizations. Lining does not photograph well - It’s a warm mid range brown, and I really like it with this leather.
