I enjoyed some girl time with @lenie over a very nice lunch this past weekend. She shared her boards of leather swatch samples with me, so I got to see almost all the available Massaccesi leathers. So much fun to see and touch them in real life.

I ended up liking the sunflower merinos and tuscan yellow nappa a lot, which is funny because I hadn't even considered them before seeing the swatches. They are pretty much identical in color, which is a vibrant, saturated yellow.

I also really like the arctic nappa. I admired how nicely @vink's arctic nappa Selene Zip Midi turned out with the silver hardware and was curious to see this leather IRL. It's an elegant, icy cool blue. Love it. I hope it's still available when I'm ready to order later this summer.

TenK me too on the Arctic nappa. I'm thinking it might be "next" but wallet is taking a break, at least from purses for a bit. Unless there is a sale... Wait! My birthday is in June!!!

I just put my things in the Hera. She slouches so beautifully! The hardware on the handle is so unique-so much attention to detail. I'll be sure to get a close up. The O rings that hold the shoulder strap is actually removable. There is a long cross body strap that clasps to the O rings with or without removing the shoulder strap.

I just received my deep blue Africa Selene zip midi. I had a sample swatch of the leather, but until you actually see it made into a purse, you cannot get the full effect of how beautiful it is. Additionally it is most interesting that the same style in Merinos leather can look so uniquely different from this one. I will post pictures later but my daughter, who is an entertainer with the Legends show in Vegas, has been in Hawaii and I have not seen her in a year and a half. She is on her way to another engagement so I want to spend as much time as possible with her before she leaves. Until then I am staring at my purse.

Your bag sounds seriously awesome! I totally agree that only the swatches can't justify the beauty of the whole bag made. It's just doesn't do it. (Yeah... but it fuels my want for these new bags alright. [emoji38])

Can't wait to see your new bag! Meanwhile, have a great time with DD!
