Just the standard dark grey. Maybe next time I would pick a happy pop of color. But I like the grey and it saves on an up charge
I heard back from Colette about midi sizes - I asked in general and specifically about Calista and Hera. She said that Marco already detemined that he will not change the size of the Calista. [emoji26] Bummer!
Did not think it was nearly that much. I usually just go with standard but ordered fushia lining recently, and it was quite reasonable, I think €20 w a Selene midi.
I'm quite surprised! At least on my iPhone 6, once I check off certain combinations, it appears as €100 extra instead of €20! For example, I have the Selene midi in pebbled purple checked, plus a 1-2" strap. If I check off light blue lining from the light grey, the price goes from €290 to €390. But if I switch the purple leather to smoke grey, the lining price drops back down to €20. It's probably a glitch?
I think that's a mistake, too. My lining didn't cost that much. I think you should email Colette to get exact quote on the model.
I also prefer smaller bags. The Spring 2017 NY fashion runway showed bags in all sizes. All kinds of bucket bags and also over sized bags as well as small bags. So I think large bags are back in for spring. There were also lots of mini bags. I think there was something for all different tastes. I think small bags are very labor intensive and that is why you often see the larger bags cost less than the smaller bags.
Yup.. I think it's a glitch. However, I always order thru Colette... And I tend to be "frugal". So this is he first time that I ever popped for a different lining.
I have added different colored linings and I thought I paid around 20 Euros more for the non standard lining.
I agree with you totally re the pricing of the smaller bags.
I bought some tiny shoes and sandals for the youngest grandson...more expensive than similar ones for me!!!
I absolutely love your chocolate verona bag. It is so elegant and timeless. I am new to Massaccesi bags and do not know anything about the leather or the weights of the various bags. I like big bags, but not if they are truly heavy. How heavy is your bag with the straps you added? Thanks in advance for the info.
Thanks! I love it too. It feels about the same weight wise as my river vachetta midi selene zip with no crossbody strap and back pocket. I can weigh them at some point this week and let you know exactly. The verona would be a nice weight in a less substantially detailed bag than the selene midi,or anything smaller. I wouldn't say the selene midi is big per se, but it is roomy. A roomy medium bag.
Thank you. I don't know what it is about your bag, the color, the leather, the style. But I keep going back and looking at it again and again. There is just something about it that absolutely speaks to me. If you have time to weigh it I would greatly appreciate it. Right now I am so enamored with it, I think I would carry it if it weighed 10 lbs. empty.
Loved your pics so much - thanks for sharing!
I'm trying to decide if I want the midi or regular Selene. My bags have to be lightweight so that makes me think midi, but it looks more like a handbag than a tote and I need a tote more than another Handbag. Would you mind sharing how tall you are? TIA!!
