I too searched for months on TPF trying to decide on the big splurge and found the MM brand and then the forum. And then the purses. Love :smile:

So here is the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say. I spent the last six months sorting through years of purses and decided to give them to the ladies in my Thursday night Bible study group (technically we ought to change the name because we just spent months on a book entitled, "Why Men Hate to go to Church." :smartass:). Anyway I loaded up the trunk of the car and had a "trunk sale" giving them all away, about 20 of them. So far, so good right. Then I set out to replace some of them and bought 8-9 new purses which are now sitting in my closet because I only want to carry my Selene and Soulmate. I suppose this is a good problem to have, but I do wish I had not replaced them before I found Masseccesi. Anyone want to buy some nice new purses!!!

I just took a ruler and measured one as best I could. It is about 5"x7", but it goes sideways, toward the side of the bag. I think you could get some flat things in there and I can carry a small pistol (sorry but I have a concealed carry permit and occasionally have to go armed if I am out and about at night alone). I hope I don't offend anyone. As for the zipper weight, I really cannot see them adding that much weight. The Selene midi is not what I call a heavy bag, but it is not the lightest one I have ever carried either. I do love the bling.

Thanks SouthernBelle! That's really helpful info.

Here are some pics of my colorful new Penny's under the office fluorescent light. Please excuse the desk clutter!
Cameo rose little Penny with apple green lining. View attachment 3686121
Interior with credit card slots. Amazingly enough there is $ in it!
View attachment 3686123
Penny messenger with fuchsia lining. I got the strap lengthened by 3 inches as I am large busted and straps are usually never long enough to wear crossbody. Love her! Only one tiny criticism is I wish the strap had a keeper loop for the extra part of the strap so it doesn't flap around.

I like your fun choices for linings and extras! Lovely bags!!! I personally like these two because the little Penny is great for coins and the messenger can carry papers, a book plus my water bottle!! Congrats with your new additions!!:biggrin:

That's ok, I love the smell of leather ! Hermes Barenia is the best ever, but Bal and BE bags are close behind.... I have been lurking in this thread for a while and recognise a lot of e names from the old BE forum... When my money tree sorts itself out I may have to treat myself to a Massacessi bag!!

Hi Prada!! Great to see you! Well, you know BE well, and Marco has designed both for them and now for himself! The craftmanship has def not changed, so hopefully you find some models you like.. there is a great variety to pick from!!

I have a Celeste merino Zhoe Legend that I got from Tenkrat. It is absolutely the most beautiful color. I used it when we went out to dinner on Sunday with a bright pink dress and the Celeste blue bag and sandals. Even if I say so myself it looked stunning the color combinations I mean not me!!!!

I bet you looked stunning as well !:graucho:
The colour combos sounds wonderful and must have looked great!
