Thank you! That’s helpful.

I’ve heard that Large Sutton and medium Metro are similar in capacity. I find the large metro huge (I’m 5’2) but I know others who love it as a daily bag. I think Medium Metro or Large Sutton might be best. Have you considered the Soho Tote? The regular size (not Traveler or Small or Mini, the one just called “Soho Tote”) is the same/similar size as large Le pliage but the pockets inside and out make it far more functional. I had a large Le pliage but it ripped. I currently have a Soho tote, medium Metro, medium Sutton and large metro and use them all for different situations/moods. Hope this helps!

The Soho is really lovely, and I do find it prettier than the options I’m considering. I think though for my purposes I like the packability and wide squishy handles of the other options. What you’re saying helps me think that the Medium Metro and Large Sutton are my best bets.

Does anyone have a piece in ‘rose metallic’? It’s so tough to tell from photos how rose-toned the item is. I’m considering another small metro backpack (adore mine in black that is now two years old) and I like both the rose metal and tin metallic.

In some photos the backpack looks more champagne or beige colored vs traditional rose.

I kind of know what I’m getting with the tin/silver.....though rose is a nice change!

Hmmmm.......wish there was a retailer here in Houston who carried the brand so I could see!

Here’s a review of the bag in that color. It looks shiny pale pink.
 
I have the tin/steel medium Sutton that I adore.

I can see why.....awesome color combo! I definitely gravitate towards silvers and greys in general. I have a small metro backpack in black and a regular metro backpack in magnet. I want another small and thought I’d be ‘different’ and try the rose gold but I don’t want to make a mistake, nor get tired of it. I like the tin a lot! Crazy interior color too which looks cool.

Thanks for your help. Wonder if MZW will ever do color blocking on the backpacks?
 
Thanks.....now I’m kind of leaning towards the silver metallic.

That would be cool.

I think I have gone lacquer crazy. I bought a medium Sutton in dawn lacquer. It is not something I would wear in summer but I think it will be fantastic come fall /winter. Now I have 4 lacquer pieces each in a different size so it is time to stop. I had almost put my grove mini paige up for sale but then remembered it is a fall winter bag and will work perfectly for that. I just feel guilty if I have a bag sitting with tags on and unworn. Do you buy bags buy season or do you use yours year round no matter what?
