I actually thought the same thing about the Calista when I first looked at the measurements. I was very surprised that it is quite spacious and holds the same as a Midi Selene, Minerva, Aphrodite, or Demetra without looking bulky. The shape and construction of the bag really accommodates whatever you put in while still maintaining the design. It is now one of my favorite styles-elegant, simple, minimal hardware.

I will have to give it another look.

What about the new Hera?

I considered it but I don't think so. There's something about it I don't like. I think it's the seams.

And it doesn't help that there are no extra photos to figure it out.

Luv, are previously owned Massaccesi bags listed/sold on the 'official' Massaccesi Fb page?

Look for the "Massaccesi BST" (Buy Sell Trade) closed group on Facebook. Request to join, and an administrator will approve you.

That's true. Once a style is out for a while, more pics appear, so we'll see.

Thanks tenKrat!

My companion of the day, Aegean Angelica! It's her first day out and the leather is so soft and I'm loving her right now! I wish I ordered her with a zip top, but I'll manage. Her color makes me smile. [emoji4]

Lovely!! I'm still waiting for mine (from my sister) in the dark blue Verona. I also wanted the zip top but scrimped at the last minute. I hope the non-zip top will work for me.
