Thanks Lenie. I decided the silver hardware is what I am going with I prefer silver hardware. I love the silver lining and the gray as well the only reason I thought I would change it up a bit is because it is a bespoke and I have 3 bags already with the standard gray lining. Did you have any concerns about the silver lining being a light color that it might show dirt?


I haven't received it yet, but will let you know as soon as I get it. I like a lighter colored lining because it is easier to find things.
 
I need some help from Massaccesi ladies on selecting a lining.
I have decided to go with the Amaranto pebbled leather for my Selene with silver hardware. I need opinions on a lining initially I was going to go with the standard grey lining as I really love it. I have decided if I am going with a bespoke to get a different lining.

All ideas and opinions welcome.

I thought of the light blue if I am not mistaken there is a baby blue that might be interesting with the red. Any other ideas I am open to anything would love to hear from you on what you might choose.

The dark blue would be nice, as well as the silver. Can't wait to hear what you decide!
 
There is a Divina mod shot somewhere on here. It's a very big and boxy bag. So if you're wanting soft and smooshy, Divina won't work. She's the Workhorse. Fabulous for carrying work-related stuff or using as a tough purse for swinging through airports and getting smashed by people in airplanes. She could even be an overnight bag!

Thank you! I was debating Selene or Divina. I like Athena too but it looks like the straps dont fit over the shoulder? Handle drop is only 7 inches.

Does anyone own a Divina? It looks like the outside pocket would make it too bulky on my frame... I would have liked to see modeling shots.

I found the mod shot earlier! Too bulky for me unfortunately.

Anabg I had the Divina and decided that it was just too big for me. It was perfect for a workbag to carry a laptop or a weekend bag. I do not like carrying my laptop in my good leather bags or work related files. I was not looking for a weekend bag either. I am 5'4" and around 120lbs. The bag was too bulky for my frame. Massaccesi has a 30 day return policy so I decided to return it and replace it with an all purple Aphrodite which shipped last week. I told Massaccesi that I loved the style but that they should think about making a midi Divina and also making the bottom less structured and softer. I am hoping that they have taken my feedback into account when they do come out with a smaller Divina. Not sure if and when that will be.

Even though the Selene is probably a larger bag than the Divina and I am guessing because I have not compared the measurements but because Selene is less structured it will be easier to carry. It is much less bulky.
 
I just compared the measurements of the Selene and the Divina and they are very similar in size but as I said the Selene is not structured. It does not give the appearance of being as big as the Divina.

Thank you. Yes, I believe it was your mod shot I saw. Selene might be the same size but it will mold to the body when worn. So they are coming out with a smaller size Divina? That's the mistery bag in the Facebook posts? I will probably wait for that to come out, then, before I decide.
 
Are you thinking you want a lighter lining djfmn, or darker? There are some nice options to stay in the cool tones with that silver hardware you selected.

Lovie I am thinking a lighter lining as the leather is a dark red.

Vannie I thought about the dark blue the only reason is that in the US it looks like you are carrying a flag with dark red and navy. I love that combination but the first thing my daughter said is do not get navy with your red bag it looks like a 4th of July bag!!!
Well that put a stop to a navy lining.

I still think I would like blue but perhaps a light blue. I have heard there is a baby blue lining and that might be an option. I also love the silver but it might get dirty if it is really light.

I am not sure they are coming out with a midi Divina. I sent an email with my feedback on the Divina size and requested a smaller Divina but I have not heard if that is coming out or not.

I believe they are coming out with a midi Minerva that was the photo of the bag on the FB page. I have not heard anything about a smaller Divina though. I think a number of people have requested it.

I just saw the midi Minerva on FB. Very nice size. I am not a fan of very large bags since I am only 5'1". They also posted 2 teaser pictures earlier this week but the bag doesnt look like a Minerva.

Anabg do you think the photos they posted earlier this week was the minnie Minerva or is it something else?

I will have to go back and look at the photos from earlier this week to see if it looks like the pineapple Midi Minerva that was posted this afternoon.
