Massaccesi Minerva

[LuvAllBags]

Taupe Minerva arrived. I will post pics this weekend. It needs to sit with some extra paper stuffed in it to regain its shape...it arrived kind of smushed. Otherwise it looks terrific and I am excited to use it. Taupe will be very versatile for me. The box was REALLY beat up and had clearly been wet and re-dried...but the bag was not damaged. I don't know what happened to that box during its monthlong journey...shipped on 11/4...arrived on 12/2. Yikes! It's all good, though. Whew!!

Good thing the bag was not damaged!! I'm glad you finally got her. More and more I'm leaning towards Minerva than Minnie. Hope to see some mod shots as well if you could manage some. Thanks!

LuvallBags I am so excited to hear that your bag has finally arrived. When my box finally arrived my box was pretty beaten up as well and had obviously been opened and taped up again. Pleased that although the box was in bad shape your bag made it without being damaged.

I cannot wait to see your photos of your lovely taupe Minerva.

Can't wait to see your photos! My last box was a bit beat up too. Maybe they need to find sturdier boxes for all these long journeys the bags are taking.

I heard from Marco that they are getting new stronger boxes starting in January you will see the change.

Does anybody have comparison shots with the full sized and the Minnie? I don't recall having seen any in any of the threads. I cannot decide between the regular sized and the Minnie and am stuck between the purple, teal, and after seeing some images of the Minnie with the Africa bronze I want that too! Aack!

Hi jxwilliams, I will soon, but not yet. I have my 3 regular sized Minervas and two Minnies on order, but my order is now going to take a bit longer because I changed the hardware on one Minnie to Gunmetal (which is special order so is going to take a bit longer.)


If you can wait, I will be able to do comparison shots in a couple weeks. Maybe someone else will have pix before me.

Yes! Thank you! I can totally wait--I'm stuck on the color so this will give me time to think...I am envious of your bags!! Lucky girl!

Ok sounds good! One of the Minnies I have ordered is the Purple Pebbled, and I already own a Dark Teal Selene so I will be able to give you my impressions of at least two of your leathers choices too.


You sure have narrowed it t some good leather choices..........Dark Teal and Purple Pebbled and Bronze, oh my!!!!!

I know! I cannot decide so I'm kind-of frozen, unable to make a decision! How sad!

 

[Moonfancy]

But what a WONDERFUL kind of sad to be! Like if you're in a Candy Store trying to decide between milk or dark chocolate! Or toffee or caramel! Or pecans or walnuts in your fudge! It's a good kind of sadness. Like, I ALWAYS cry when people sing Happy Birthday to me. Not because I am sad, but because people singing to me makes me so happy! I just cry with happiness. Been doing that every year since I was about 5-6 years old!

[jxwilliams]

Lol I know--the sad things I stress about! Leaning towards that gorgeous bronze! Plus Valentina said Marco could shorten the strap drop for me. Now the only question is Minnie or regular Minerva.. I'm 5'7" with an average build-- thoughts? I like big bags and I like them to be proportionate to my body (if I don't already sound crazy enough already, right?!).

Thought I would join the fun with my midi Minerva in pebbled olive. It's hard to capture the color, I found the Christmas tree background to show the truest color. Love her!

The Olive Green is beautiful! I've been thinking about getting something in that color but wasn't sure if the color was too drab, but it definitely is not. My next bags will be in the bronze and olive green, just not sure which style yet. I am waiting to see comparison photos of the regular ?Minerva next to the midi Minerva and regular and midi Selenes.
Thank you for the great photos!
