What would be your HG bag? Can you describe the features? I love analyzing handbags since I need to think long and hard before purchasing any..

Hi there...yes....

let me see:

My HG bag is a three strap bag, so it's versatile and has loops so the shoulder strap and cross body strap can be removed, if desired.
It is an east-west bag, in the range of 13 to 14 inches wide, 8 to 10 inches tall, 4 to 7 inches wide
well made material, structured, comes in different colors for different seasons and different occasions
no center divider inside so if in the check out line for example, you can unzip the bag and quickly see your wallet and other items without fishing around, ticking off the other people behind you in line, lol.
zippered top, quality zipper and materials in general
functional yet stylish.

That's about it - doesn't seem too complicated, but it must be since it still eludes me....like a unicorn I guess.

Like I said, if I ever find one, I will buy at least one, maybe two of every color lol....
I have even tried to find an Etsy seller who can make one for me....

I'm considering Juliet right now. Check the model out. It fits your description, but since it only comes with one crossbody strap, you may have to order a shoulder strap separately.

From what I've read here, Laurel Dasso on etsy makes good quality custom bags. You might want to send her a message through etsy.

I want a dark grey full size Selene with silver hardware to use as a work tote (including carrying a laptop in a sleeve). I can't decide between dark grey merinos, pebbled, or nappa. I like the smoothness of nappa, but I want this bag to be a real hauler, so think something more durable would be wiser. I also want it to be not too too heavy, though pebbled is acceptable. Which grey would you go for? I love a beautiful deep charcoal color.

That's a hard one , I personally would love a Napa...but the Selene is versatile that it will look good in anything. Sorry I can't be of help here....:amuse:

Yea, I received the DHL notice and phone call that my order has been shipped. I am not sure if it is one or both...the ruby red Selene midi zip Merinos or the Soulmate midi in cognac Merinos? On one email it says items (1), so I suppose they sometimes ship them separately? It makes no difference. I will be hanging out at the window on Monday all day long. This will be my first Massaccesi bag, so you can imagine how exciting it is.

It will be a long weekend for you, for sure! I'm pretty sure they will ship both in the same box. They did that for me last week with a 2 bag order, and it said just one item - I think it means one package.
I can't wait to see your Selene - that Ruby Red Merinos has had me enchanted since I first saw a swatch! And the Midi Zip Selene is my favorite bag ever! Did you order a custom lining? I imagine the dark grey signature lining Is already perfect...
