I gave up on Paige rather quickly because of it’s slim depth.., would like to retry. Also, didn’t like my Paige’s silver hw with no red trim.
Lizzy has been my longest mainstay...
Hmm, I can't make the Paige work for me either. Maybe because I'm overstuffing it, I don't know.
To answer your question, I've kept all of the styles that I've purchased. I've let go of certain colors, but haven't completely given up on a certain style...yet. When I'm on the verge of giving up on a style, I let my Mom try it out. She's currently trying Alice and Mia. I have the Jane, Alice, Mia, small, medium, and large metro, metro backpack, Bea, Paige, small Sutton, Greta wallet, and Angus pouch)
Alice was my first MZ. Navy with gold..omg..wish I didn’t sell..but, my darn shoulder..which, still hurts every day of my life...
Oooh, that sounds pretty! So, you found Alice heavy? The flat leather straps seemed to lighten the load for me.
Because of my shoulder, most of my bags I hand-carry or cross-body carry. Alice was too long to hand-carry and, while the straps were comfy wide and flat...somehow the drop wasn’t comfy on that shoulder. Sometimes my shoulder does ok for a while with a longer strap that I can rest my arm into almost like an arm sling (ha ha) which is why Coco has been calling my name lately. Other than that...it’s usually short handles or backpacks..or crossbodies...

Alice didn’t work for me either. I really liked it but every time I would turn around I would hit someone with it.

It is funny how one bag can work great for one person and not at all for another. Small Roxy works fine for me but I tend to grab Bailey the most with the two Paige’s in seconds . Last year I tracked my bag usage by putting a little mark next to a bags name each day I used. I had some surprising results. Of all my bags , LV included it Bailey that was used the most.
I'm intrigued by what works and what doesn't, also. I tracked my bag usage last year. My only MZW bags that made my "top 10" were Anthracite Jane (#6) and Anthracite Bea (#9). Crazy!
This year my biggest bags (same style) were used the most, ..which, I also 50% of the time throw on my shoulder while I use...the Barrington Gifts Savannah Tote..crazy..never would have predicted that, but, it’s so darn light and interior pockets distribute the weight of contents in a way that make it spread out maybe? Just works.
I've been on the hunt for a nylon cross body travel bag and I'm hoping the small Crosby (Smosby?) is it! This was totally unexpected because I was looking at Prada or anything "premiere" but there's something about that smushy Oxford quilting! I've loved my Celine Trio for sightseeing but the thin strap, and assured rain on an upcoming trip, has made me delve into the nylon world.
I've seen the official photos and a couple shots here, but no side shots that show how it rests on an actual body when at least partially full. Do any of you lovely Smosby owners have some action shots? Much appreciated!
