“Little Miss M”

A beautiful Massaccesi handbag makes you glow even before she is out of the box!  And when that box is waiting for you a mere three miles away, for an entire afternoon, you develop a deeper meaning of the term “self-discipline”.  Long ago I was under the impression I had a clear understanding of these words, but since Massaccesi they have taken on entirely new meaning!  No one could have blamed me if I had bolted out of the room, knowing my beloved Little Miss M was waiting for me.  But no one knew… it was my secret, and the private thought of her arrival began to fill my heart with happiness and inner blush!

My patience was soon rewarded!  Sweet Red Cherry Natural Flat Calf goodness!  When I first saw her peeking out of that dustbag, I immediately squealed with delight!  This color is my ultimate favorite shade of red!  The hue is like a raspberry and a delicious pop of color yet a wonderful neutral that matches with much of my wardrobe.  It was from a fabulous preview picture of Marco's that I fell instantly in love with this gorgeous style and now that she is here, I find her to be breathtaking in person!  There is nothing I love more than a structured bag for travel and work.  I completely adore my puddly soft MM bags too, but I have a true need for structured bags and the newly released Miss M and Little Miss M are filling these needs exquisitely.

Little Miss M’s size is so chic and darling!  How she can be sophisticated, elegant, yet petite and precious all at the same time amazes me, but indeed she does possess all of these qualities.  She has stunning clean lines, everywhere you look the tailoring is crisp, as are the hand-painted edges.  The small details such as the ends of the straps running parallel with the line of the discreet and subtle “M” on the front of the bag are perfection.  The handle straps are ladylike and so very pretty, making them ideal for this style and also functionally wonderful to wear.  They stay on my shoulder and are quite comfortable there or in the crook of my arm.

Perhaps what I love most about this style is her polished look.  When you wear her, she adds grace to a casual outfit for a quick excursion as well as timeless elegance for a dressier ensemble. Because of the versatility, I hold this design in high regard.

The interior was born to keep us organized.  It is fitted with two open slip pockets on the front panel, and two open slip pockets with a zipper pocket on the back panel.  There is also an attached side lobster key clip.  The closure is a secure zipper top that runs the length of the bag and has a really nice leather tab on the opposite end of the metal zipper pull.  Again such a small detail, but I am loving the shape and size of this leather tab.  I chose the Massaccesi signature grey lining and silver hardware.  I am very happy with the marriage of this lining, leather and hardware.

It began to sprinkle lightly during my mini outdoor photo shoot and I am happy to report that when a few raindrops fell upon my bag, I wiped them gently away with a soft cloth and no mark remained, making her another ultimate style choice for travel and dashing out to a meeting.  The leather feels so smooth and luxe to the touch!  Love it!
