I almost like the hidden zips better than an outside zip. On a bag that's non pleated and flat, I'd be afraid of my keys poking through the nylon making it look weird and bumpy. With the hidden zips hopefully keys will buldge in vs out.

Hmm..good point..I don’t like that [emoji102] look either...forgot another reason those drapey pleats are so ingenious...
 
Does anyone have the micro sutton or plan on getting one? I'm wondering how much it can really hold. On the MZW site it looks really small but the description says it will hold a wallet and sunglasses. I think the smutton is too big for a going out bag!
I have the micro and a number of smalls. It is much smaller than the small, but can definitely hold a long wallet, sunglasses and some small items (hand sanitizer, lipstick, car keys). I think it is the perfect size for when you want to carry the bare minimum - great for running errands, going to the movies, enjoying a night out. I also have the micro metro and prefer the shape of the sutton which is more rectangular and therefore taller, vs the metro which is kind of short and pyramidal.
 
Hi Ladies! For those who were able to fit the original small metro tote over your shoulder, does the newer version of the small metro tote fit, too? (I know that the capacity changed, but I'm wondering if the shoulder drop decreased.)

Hi all, new here. I've been trying to decide which MZ Wallace tote to purchase. It's for work and ideally able to fit my rather large and clunky work laptop. Based on the size of my laptop and the size of the bags, it looks like the following may work: Large Abbey, Kate, and Belle. Unfortunately, none of these bags are available anywhere near me so I can't see them before I buy. Any advice? I emailed MZ Wallace and they seem to be steering me towards the Kate, but Im not too keen on the multiple pockets in front - I like the 2 pocket look. Thoughts?

I agree with Jpezmom, the Kate has worked well for me when I have to carry my 13" laptop and other papers around. I do not carry a separate handbag. I also have the Belle but find it much too heavy even when empty, and unbearably heavy when loaded with my laptop.

Hi! I like the Large Crosby best and I’ve tried all of the above except Lg Abbey. It is lightweight but still holds a ton, with separate section for laptop. Kate and Belle are heavy to me. Large Abbey is HUGE.
 
New stuff is always exciting! I like the glazed linen Smabbey [emoji7] and the Atmosphere Crosby stuff. That coral lining! The Jordan Tote is interesting.

I hope the coral lining means we’ll see coral bags at some point!

I like the glazed linen Smabbey, too. But folks say it's heavy in Bedford, right? I'm guessing that the glazed linen would be even heavier...
 
The glazed linen looks so pretty but reminds me of the fabric that used to rub off and turn black. I hope it doesn't but I will wait and see how people enjoy the bags and then jump if all is good. This time there are few that I find interesting.

I believe the coating on this is just like last season’s coated linen. It’s not like the old Mica that flaked and peeled, at least I don’t think so. I saw last year’s coated linen and it was very much like the coated twill where the coating seems to be infused with the fabric.
