Ooh! The Verona leather really "elevates" this bag! I've been thinking of the Penny Messenger as a little run-around purse, but yours has a lot of presence, and it's almost a statement piece, but a refined one. Definitely has a "wow" factor!

Is the Verona leather very shiny? I find that the Venezia and Athene leathers are a little too "plasticky" (shiny and/or stiff) for my taste, and the Tuscania a little too matte in some colors though I love the "distressed" imprint. I love deep rich blues, and this one is really appealing.

Congratulations on a gorgeous combination of leather, hardware and purse style, and I love the idea of having two different removable straps!

Nope, not shiny at all. Thanks! I will carry it next week on a biz trip with a combo of work and entertainment activities. It should be perfect!

Then my Calista in Athene Cameo. Extra outer pocket and extended strap. Weight 625 grammes. I would love to post more pics, but my back is complaining lol! So the lovely Denim Blue Verona must also rest a while. I just wanted to show you how the extended strap is closed!View attachment 3649708
Bon, all your bags look lovely. The Cameo is a lovely colour, how is the messenger drop for you?
 
Just a quick look sizewise..
the Theia is def not as large as I thought , very similar in size like the Cassandra.
And all 3 bags are more or less similar in size! The Calista weighs like a feather in the Athene leather!! I got two lightbrown bags, because I simply dont have any! Lol
The light Denim blue looks in this light very light blueish, but suits so well with Denim !! No more for now.. been on my feet all day, so time for a rest!!
Btw the Theia is gorgeous!! So full with details..
Bon, how did I miss this Denim Pebbled bag? Gorgeous. I will definitely get another Cassandra. If there was a purple Verona or Tuscania...I would swoop on it in no time.

It seems like bigger bags are coming back in style again, not just with Massaccesi. I love the way they look on people. I am just not able to carry the bigger heavier bags . I love looking at them though.
I also love them and I am not able to carry the bigger bags either. They just wear me and I look like I am being swallowed up by a big bag. I keep admiring them though. I have tried a couple of times and learned my lesson. As much as I love them I will not buy any.

I'm the same. I can only do medium-large. Not large anymore. It's just not comfortable with my age and body. I just don't. I hope Marco offer a Midi and maybe the little version with every design of his coz many of them are just humongous in my book. I can't go any bigger than a Selene Midi.
 
Has anyone ordered the new design "Hera" yet? I'm wondering about its size. It seems big in Marco's photos, and I think that maybe a midi version might be better. It looks really practical, but I don't know if it really shows off the usual Massaccesi edgy but classic styling. It doesn't say "special" to me, but I want to be proved wrong!

Vink I am in the same position as you I want midi versions of all the large bags. I only do midi size bags along with the smaller bags like Zhoe and Aura. Although I must say that Grande Aura is very appealing.

I ordered the Hera in Bluette Merinos. It hasn't shipped yet. I will post pics as soon as I get it.

Aura is a perfect Aura-size for me. [emoji16] I think a larger one maybe too boxy, IMHO. But it's different with Theia. The normal size is meh, but when I'm shown the Midi size, I just took the plunge and order one right away. [emoji4]

Very curious about your Theia. It's the design I like best from the new bags.
