For the Love of Massaccesi

Soulmate

Love at first sight. Love with first carry. Lots of affection for Soulmate. Most deservingly so!

A favorite from the start for many including myself. The first thing that struck me was the uniqueness of the style. I became besotted with these waves of leather gathered at the top and how the handle straps connect and still have crazy adoration for both. Then it was the beautiful contrast of the dark brown Nappa handles themselves and oval leather pieces with hardware accent. She is heavenly to carry in the crook of your arm, on the shoulder, handheld, and also has an adjustable messenger strap for crossbody.

The interior is divine. Four intoxicating inches of leather line the upper border of the bag, so every single time you open your Soulmate, there it is, the leather you chose harmoniously next to your pretty lining choice. The interior possesses one of my favorite MM design features, that blissful “keep me organized” middle zipper compartment. It fully attaches to the sides and bottom of the bag so it remains stationary. This section has a border with one and a half inches of leather border at the top. It is where I keep my car keys and cell phone and allows for such easy access! There is also a back panel zipper pocket, two open slip pockets on the opposite side and magnetic top closure.

Thank goodness there are two sizes of this gorgeous design because I love them both. Below are many pictures including comparisons with other popular MM styles. Original Soulmate is the larger of the two, and Soulmate Midi is the fabulous medium version. That old expression “everyone has a soulmate” now has entirely new meaning, because thanks to Marco Massaccesi, we get to have as many as our hearts desire! Thanks Marco! ;) Applause from us all!
