Latest June order arrived! Star in Brown Verona with Marine lining and Rua Angelica in Rust HMV with caramel lamb lining. Both are flawless and stunning. Super impressed by the Star. It’s a great style and a comfortable carry! Will be durable yet chic which is exactly what I wanted. Perfect for days at the zoo or park with my kiddos when I want a hands free carry but still wanna feel put together. And with Verona leather I won’t have to worry about it! Rua is a good size and could be a work tote or makes a nice organized carry with an insert. Can easily hold a laptop and several notebooks.

How many of you are still waiting on June orders? Raising my hand. I think Marco was having trouble getting some skins from the tannery for a while. Just curious. I'm enjoying the reveals so far.
You might want to check with him to see about the status. I got a shipping notice earlier this week that my waterproof suede order is on the way. I ordered on Aug. 20.

I wonder if maybe he’s waiting on some leather or something. I just had my July order ship. And he said I had some of my august order coming next week. Maybe just touch base with him and see what’s up?

I do know he told me the June orders were a big amount (this was the sale before the price increase this year) and that the July and August orders were a lot fewer. So I think if he’s made his way through most of the June orders now he’ll be catching back up timeline wise!

I hope you have a bag coming soon!!
 
I have a design idea in my head I just need to get on “paper.”

Little Miss M modded:
- Rolled handles attached with hardware so they can fold down (LV speedy or alma style handles, off the top of my head)
- Little Athena outside flap pocket positioned similarly as on the Little Athena, instead of the V center stitching
- No center compartment
- Detachable crossbody strap,
as well as shoulder strap like little Athena has but no buckles. (Thinking of a shoulder strap similar to how the Antigona is, except removable)
- Possible slip pocket on back (but may be too bulky)
- Picturing it in Vachetta or similarly smooth leather

I realize this sort of the same as the Little Athena but Little Miss M is a bit bigger of a bag and more squarish, also without a zipper on top. I want rolled handles but I want them to be able to fold down out of the way!

Let me know what y’all think!!!

I'd worry that exterior Athena pocket might look bulky as well as possibly cause the bag to topple over?

Ohhh, I bet a Camera Bag would look good in the new leather Marco is offering:
25% off until Jan. 2...wow, I can't believe it's almost 2023!
And...I guess he doesn't really take a break hahaha!
I'm thinking about a Camera Bag in it. I really want something in the camel color. I love that color and don't really remember Marco offering it before.

Agreed. I had some wine before I posted that and the next day when I was thinking about it, I changed my mind completely. :lol: I want to order a bag during this sale but I don’t know what I want. Gahhh!!!

I like structured bags andI want to be able to shoulder carry.

Anyone have any suggestions on mods to the Miss M straps? I’m not a buckle person! Hardware is okay, but more is less.

Also thinking about a Juliet midi. Does anyone know the dimensions of the Juliet Alto?

What about switching out Miss M straps for Victoria straps? Victoria straps are about an inch wide, and very comfortable. Several ladies have also done a simplified Selene strap with no buckles. That would look great too.
 
Anybody getting anything in the quilted leather? I'm on a bag ban, but eagerly waiting to see the lovelies that will come from this offer.

After receiving lots of kind and thoughtful advice over in the Massaccesi Facebook group, I had it narrowed down to an Iride modified with a straight flap and a Cupra chain, or a Cupra. Although of course I wish I could have ordered both, I went with the Cupra Large in black nappa with padded diamond quilting, and I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a masterpiece of Marco's work to arrive at my door.
