Has anyone seen a clear photo of an Arianna, in the Africa leather deep blue?

I about have my heart set on an Arianna...undecided about the color/leather style.

Thanks!
I have a Deep Blue Africa Midi Zip Selene and a Port Merinos Arianna. I put them side by side and think you will love the Arianna in the Africa leather. I'll try to get a pic if you don't hear from anyone else. The Africa leather is simply wonderful and has held up to a lot of abuse: it has been my daily bag for the last 18 months (and I'm not a careful owner!), and while it's now pretty slouchy and some of the finish has rubbed off the feet (rubbed, not chipped or flaked, with copper tones showing through), the leather has held up extremely well and I get a lot of compliments on the bag. The color really changes depending on what the light is and what it's near. Go for it!

Welcome to Massaccesi!

You can order this bag, but order via email to Colette, which is listed on the blog or you can Facebook message. If you like that exact bag, you can say you like it just like pictured, but the nice thing with MM is each bag is made for the customer who orders, so you can do a different leather, hardware, lining, add an exterior pocket etc.

It is a great time to jump in with the sale going on! Colette is super helpful so give her an email!

Thank you Odebdo! This is really helpful to know. I have been eyeing MM bags for a while and the Theia midi caught my eye. I'm thinking may be pebbled leather or Merino leather but I'm still unsure which one is light to carry and low maintenance, Do you have any recommendations?[emoji254][emoji259]

Both pebbled and Merinos would be pretty low maintenance, but merinos is lighter weight.

I agree with Luv...both pebbled leather and merinos are hardy leathers that wear well...merinos is slightly lighter.

The color pictured on MM's Facebook page was Aegean blue pebbled...but there is a blue merinos too...so really it is what makes your heart flutter!

Part of the fun is making the decision!

I think since it was just announced, nobody has one yet, not even Colette. Hopefully Marco may take a picture or two since the only one is probably in Italy with him! I am interested to see as well, though I have to admit, the blog pictures make the original one not seem as big!
Thanks Odebdo I thought I would ask in case there was a photo and I had just missed it. I looked and looked and decided to ask here on tpf. I am waiting to see how big it is in the midi size. I really like the style and now I am thinking perhaps a midi Theia or a Grande Aura in the seafoam green.

I need the Theia midi! Now I need to figure out what leather to make it in. I'm so glad that I haven't ordered anything yet. What do you ladies think about that in Tuscania calf in Biscotti? Hmm[emoji848]
Pbnjam I think the Theia midi in Biscotti would be an incredible bag. The more I see the midi Theia the more I like it.
 
I think I am going to get a Cassandra in midnight tusciana with dark gunmetal hardware and an exterior slip pocket.

I want bordeaux tusciana....so I am trying to decide if I do my original, pre-release plan of Demetra with flat handles and exterior pocket....or do a Theia or Calista instead....thoughts?
My vote is for Theia. I think out of all the new bags that is my favorite. Although I do like Grande Aura it is not a new bag just a new size!!!
 
Richard Scarry books were a great fav and so many others! At the moment I am reading Alice in Wonderland for the two seven yrs old and next will be Narnia! I myself began reading very young , at three and a half I was 'helping' my dad reading the newspaper.. lol! I don't know if it is the same in your country as here in Denmark, but newspapers are not so popular any more. But whenever my grandchildren come over, we try to find words they know through this.. perhaps soon lost media!
I did keep all my childrens books or a lot of them. I also kept the hard cover books that were reference or sentimental books. But a lot of the paperbacks I got rid of. I still have bookshelves filled with books but not like I used to have. I agree the newspaper is seems to be a lost media most of it is available online.
