Massaccesi Handbags

[musicmom]

I've been gazing at the new bags some more over the weekend, and the leathers... it's so interesting how different some of the colors appear in the photos and yet some seem fairly consistent. Time to look at swatches! I'm still thinking these bags are all too big for me, so I really hope that Marco will consider some Midi versions of these for those of us who are smaller in body or weaker in shoulder or just don't need to haul so much stuff around. Anyone else here want one of the new bags in a smaller version?

I also am keen to see the new bags in their web-shop-ready format so I can play around with color combos! I wonder if the website could also ever include the lining colors. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

But I really want to see everyone's real-life modeling shots here! Can't wait!

Dark blue Verona Midi Minerva in my hotel room. This bag is on the heavy size for what I usually carry - it weighed in at 2 lb. 12 oz. on my postal scale - but the magical thing, and I know others have said this here before, is that it doesn't feel heavy at all, even with quite a lot of stuff in it. Maybe this is because the single, wide-set flat strap balances the weight more evenly? I've only carried it on one short errand, but it hardly felt like I was carrying anything!

Point is it is hard to capture the true colours of some of the linings.. I do believe Colette has shown the lining colours? Perhaps now far down her blog! But yes , a reminder from you could be perfect!!

This is also a great feature I have noticed with MM bags I also have the large Minerva in the pebbled, and empty it weighs lots but then I stuff my bag with whatever I need for my physio..and nothing less than a miraclr happens.. lol..I can carry the bag!!! Marco knows his bags for sure!! Not to offend Dior Saddlebag lovers, but I had one once.. the large one, and I could put a pencil in it.. and that was too much!! This bag is gone ..

Ups, I did not see your gorgeous bag at first ( blame my phone!) but it is just lovely.. and I cant wear blue bag, because of my sallow complexion..grrr!!

I recieved a Verona Grey Cassandra today! With light gunmetal hw and burgundy lining ( a colour I have used in some bags lately.. very neutral actually) Well, what to say ?? Cassandra is a tottaly overlooked model by me, because I have the two sizes of the Mineva, bags I often use. But since I recieved the Brown, I just wanted one more alsoi in a neutral colour. And I am def not disappointed big LOL

Yay!!! Yes, this has top zipper closure. Btw, just a note. My newer red nappa is not as thick IMO as this dark grey leather.

Any issues with unusual creasing with the nappa? I thought I remembered someone having creasing with one of the styles?

I want smaller, I think. Ive decided to wait and see mod shots from the ladies to make a final decision.

I love gray. Gorgeous.
Do you use it as a laptop bag primarily?

I ordered a mud Verona Calista today...so that will add to the list.

I like the mud Verona a lot, so I very much look forward to seeing your Calista.

Marco's magic strap. That's the feature I like most about the Minerva Midi, even more than the wonderful front pockets.

Thanks for posting another pic of your dark blue Verona bag, @shoecrazy. This one shows the color and chewy-looking texture clearly. I love it!

@bonniekir, the burgundy lining is a perfect match with the grey Verona.
