Massaccesi Handbags

[Devyn Danielle]

I do not know how much my sauro tan vachetta Daphne weighs. I wish I could help you, but I'm unable to weigh it because all of my handbags, save a few, are packed up and on a barge to the U.S. mainland. I'm relocating from Hawaii to Florida this summer.

It's so hard to describe its weight without an actual number, and so much of it depends on what you carry and how you perceive heaviness. For me, my Daphne isn't that heavy because it's a smallish medium size bag, and I'm mindful of what I put in the bag so that it doesn't get stuffed.

Colette has the same exact bag, so you may ask her to weigh it for you. She wouldn't mind at all if she has a scale handy.

That's a big move! I've lived in Florida all my life, hope you enjoy it here!

I'd love to see some Juliet or Penny messenger modshots if anyone has them! TIA [emoji4]

I am also interested in the Juliet, but don't have one, yet. Here is a penny messenger modshot. I am 5'-1" and 148 lbs.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. That is good to know. The leather is obviously of very good, actually excellent, quality, and I was interested in the aging, the patina, etc. You answered it well. I am laughing because if both of my bags in Merinos get any softer they will just be an envelope sized blob on the counter!!! Loving them!!!

Glad to hear you love your bags. Your cognac merinos Soulmate Midi is an excellent choice. I love reds with blue undertones, too. I've had to resist the ruby red merinos because I already have a bag in a very similar red.

This will be my sixth time crossing the Pacific Ocean for a move. It's not something one could ever get used to. Stressful every time.

Been there, done that. It certainly is stressful. Best of luck to you.

Wow, kudos tenKrat--six times! I have gone through a back and forth transatlantic move once and would prefer never to have to do that again. At one point during packing, (when you make more of a mess than when you started), I just looked around my flat and wanted fall and the floor and cry, call my new boss in Europe to tell him I was staying stateside.

Yay!! Thanks for the modshot!! It helped me realize I have a bag that already looks like it. It looks great on you though! The quest for the right MM bag for me continues…

I do not know how much my sauro tan vachetta Daphne weighs. I wish I could help you, but I'm unable to weigh it because all of my handbags, save a few, are packed up and on a barge to the U.S. mainland. I'm relocating from Hawaii to Florida this summer.

Thanks for replying anyway - I'll have to think about what Vachetta to get!! Good luck moving…that's so far [emoji33]

@bellebellebelle19, the vachetta leathers are so lovely, and they're not all the same. My favorites are the rust vachetta, which is pebbled, and the dark taupe, which is smooth. I would like to see an oxblood vachetta someday. I really like the vachetta leathers on the smaller bags like Aura or Zhoe/Zhoe Legend. They look really good in the boxier, structured bags.

What bag are you thinking on?

Look back here or in our reference thread...Vannie just did this for us when she got hers.

Thanks

I think there are a couple of mod shots on the MM blog where Colette shows it over the shoulder and also carried in the crook of the arm. Also there is a post from Bonnie showing the messenger style in addition to the photos I posted.

Thanks!!

Hi ladies! I've enjoyed seeing all of your MM purchases over these last couple of years. I finally took the plunge with a Demetria in smoke grey a few months back, which I love. I've just received my second order: a Calista in Dark Blue Verona and a colorblock Miss M in black, dark green, and taupe nappa. Here are pics of my Miss M.

Wow I never would have imagined this combination but it looks impossibly chic, like something out of Celine or Gucci. And best of all, you're the only one in the world with this bag!

I agree that structure would probably ideal with the vachetta! I like how styles like Daphne or Angelica might have a bit of give, but I'm wondering about a vachetta Athena/little Athena which I think would definitely be stiffer…

You're moving? For a season or for good? Wow... if I were you, I'd definitely miss the view. But I wish you the best for the new place!

I had an Athena, which is a large handbag. It was in nappa, one of the lighter leathers, and when I put my things in it, the bag felt a little heavy after carrying it a while. It would be even heavier in vachetta.

Little Athena in vachetta would look very nice. The weight would be more tolerable in this smaller bag.

Have you considered Juliet in one of the brown Aquila matte leathers, i.e., tan or tobacco? Would either of those work for you?

I don't know... I want light weight Juliet and Tuscania sounds like a match. I also want to have at least one bag in every leather and I haven't had Tuscania yet. I like the distress on it and am looking for a style that'd go well with it and match what I like. This is quite a harder task than I thought. [emoji28]
If only Juliet is smaller than it seems. ... [emoji29]
