Massaccesi Handbags

[AliceWondered]

Marco did a promotion on a washed lambskin some time ago, I have a midi victoria in this and it is beautifully soft and velvety. My Deerskin victoria is much firmer and more structured, though it is still one of my favourite leathers.

That’s great to know. Hopefully the washed lamb comes around sometime again!

This precise Deerskin does not have a soft feel. The next deerskin will probably be quite different

I have a Charlotte Shoulder bag in this Deerskin . I believe it was made of the last scraps of this leather..

Verona was soft and textured. I really miss Verona...

Gorgeous! That texture!

I got a Charlotte SB midi in black Verona, and I love it. It’s a perfect design for showing off a textured leather.

I love the texture on the deerskin! Does it have a soft hand-feel?

I have seen bags in a “shrunken lamb skin” leather, that is very textured, but also super soft. I would love something like that except in a MM bag.

Yes, it is pretty soft. I have two bags in deerskin and one is softer than the other. So there is some variation.

Two things:

1. Marco mentioned to a newer customer who's planning a Hera that he has done a Hera without the pleats on top. I don't remember and I can't find in my searching of someone's Hera that looks like this. Are you out there? Please share haha! I'm so curious.

2. Just a note that I did a video today of all the MM leathers I thought I owned ... and catching up on this thread, I realized I do have something in washed lamb that I missed! It's a key leash ... now that makes 16 leathers I own haha ... he really offers such a variety!!!! I know there's more out there that I don't have ... I'd love others to showcase some. Even a short video just showing the leather is great!

Bag of the Day (Haven't used this bag in a while): Soulmate Midi in Wine Velvet Verona. It has gotten softer and smooshier with time.
The bag is a actually little darker than it appears in the photo.

Ooh, I would love to see that Hera, and I think I might need to steal that idea.

Thank you! I seem to gravitate to this color. I have a coat in a similar shade as well.

This is one of my favourite MM bags that I’ve seen. What a magical colour, I hope Marco can source it again at some point. Love the outfit, and Aspinal scarf! (I think I have the same one )

Thank you, and Happy Birthday! This is wine velvet verona but it looks more like a plum-pink IRL. It is a great leather choice for the soulmate, I think.

And why am I not surprised that you have the same scarf?

Thank you We are both Pisces, that’s why

I solved the leather mystery of my Little Athena

The original owner checked her email with Marco and she indeed put in an order for marine blue pompei Little Athena, and Marco confirmed. I think what happened was that Marco used avio blue nappa as a mistake, and the two previous owners didn’t notice.

That doesn’t take away my enjoyment of the bag, although I would’ve preferred pompei for this style. The nappa, however, shows the scratches clearly which gives this bag a more rustic look, and I like that too.

Here she is with me today at my city’s independent cinema’s VIP lounge, waiting for Grace Kelly’s “Rear Window” to start.

I passed on tweed when it first came out, but I never stopped thinking of it, so I asked Marco if he still had any, and to my surprise, he does! He set it aside for me, and now I need to figure out what bag and colorway I want to go with. I thought I'd try to pick a bag first, and would love opinions!

I'm thinking Mia/Grande Mia, Aura/Grand Aura, or Daphne/Grande Daphne (I thought I read on TPF that he had a pattern for a Grande Daphne...). I would probably go for the grande size in any option because I do tend to graviate towards bigger bags but can always be influenced otherwise!

I do have this KS tweed-esqe bag already:

It's actually why I had originally passed on tweed. I figured I didn't need two tween bags. But I've never really been able to get Marco's tweed leather out of my head, so maybe I do need two tweed bags after all. Anyway, I'd like to avoid something too similar to what I already have, but I'm otherwise open to anything! (I know Aura/Grande Aura is a flap like the bag I have, but I'm not sure if it would be similar enough to take it out of the running?)

Thoughts on what would best suit tweed? Comments/personal experiences with any of the bags I'm thinking of? Other bags I should consider?

Colourblocked with black Nappa? Daphne or Clio
