Marco is actually planning to discontinue the Athena along with some other styles that aren’t as popular. That post was a little joke since the poster said it will have orange, furry lining( her cat). I was actually looking for the furry lining untzil I realized she was talking about her cat :lol:.

AH, I missed the discontinued reference. Love the furry lining :biggrin:

What styles are going to be discontinued? Does anyone know?

Hi all, I'm very new to this, how custom can you get? Has anyone had Massaccessi make a completely custom bag that's not based on one of the existing templates? I have a very old beaten up K-mart bag from my college days that has a lot of sentimental value (bought it with my mother). I've always wished to have a high quality version of it remade, do you think that's possible with MM?

It might be... at least if it bares some resemblance to one of Marco's models.
Can you show us photos and dimensions of your beloved bag?

What are your favourite styles, @Ludmilla ?
(My favourites are Calista, Hera Midi and Little Hera, but I am planning on an Angelica and a Little Athena when the right leather comes along)

My favorites are Selene, Theia and Aphrodite. I am not scared regarding the first two styles, but I sm somewhat afraid regarding the last one. Have not seen many Aphrodites around lately.
I like your favorites, too! :D I have always been very close to order an Angelica.

You have been an MM customer for many years, if I remember correctly. Maybe, if Aphrodite is discontinued, Marco will let you "book 2 Aphrodites for the future" ;)

I'm not sure how to upload a photo on here but just looking at the existing styles, it is most similar to the Muse Midi, just with longer handles attached with hardware instead of sewn on (9"drop), and exterior pockets on either side (one zipped, the other with a snap flap similar to the Victoria style, mine has a metal embellishment on top). I don't really care about the hardware/embellishment although I do like the way the handles are attached for Rua Angelica better than the wider attachment of Muse. Functionally I like my bag because it has 2 interior pockets plus the central zip divider, plus the 2 on the outside, and it's easy to stay organized.

I suspect Marco might well do this for you, if you ask him to use the Muse Midi pattern, merely changing handles and pockets :smile:
Tell him the story of your old bag ;)
I suggest you send photos of the different Massaccesi elements from his other bags (as well as from your bag) that you would like him to use (to avoid misunderstandings). I find Snipping Tool very useful for gathering such detail photos - very easy to paste into emails. And remember to let him know whether you want your bag as structured as possible (Marso's bags are never very stiff...), lightly structured or soft.

Best of luck :wave:

When Marco had a Kickstarter a few years ago one of the options was for him to design the bag of your dreams. Here’s the description of what he’d do:

Design, create and receive your bag! You'll collaborate with me and my team and you'll be involved in the creation of YOUR style. Following your inputs we'll will create your bag, you'll be free to decide shape, dimensions and all details of the bag of your dreams. Bag will have your name embossed and it will remain a unique masterpiece forever!
You'll be free to decide:
* Bag shape and size.
* Leather (any Nappa, Pebbled, Merinos, Verona, Pompei or Metallic calf).
* Leather color (between all available ones at our tannery).
* Lining (fabric or thin lamb).
* Lining color (any available fabric or lamb color).
* Hardware finishing (light gold, silver, light gunmetal, dark gunmetal, rose gold).
* Embossed initials or complete name.

Of course, it would be significantly cheaper to start with one of his patterns, but it seems like something he’d be able to do.
