At the end of December I went ahead and purchased both small sutton and medium sutton in the charter pattern (navy and white stripes) figuring I could decide in person and return. Orders included a small pouch, Crosby wristlet, Jordan backpack I’d been planning to get.

Right about when it arrived, first trimester pregnancy nausea and misery really hit and I never returned anything (also why I didn’t make it back here). I might’ve even made a decision about what to return, not sure. Didn’t shop at all for two months anywhere so I’m counting these bags as a compensatory gift to myself? Ha. I adore the colorway and love all sizes of Suttons, so i’m really not upset, pregnancy is a good excuse right?

Anyway, I have the resulting points, and a Max of some size and color was on my list. I love the new colors, including ocean camo that Max does not come in, but suttons do. And now that I have extra Suttons and Nordstrom is like entirely on sale, decisions to be made!

Everyone else holding strong on the shopping your closet effort?

I have not worn any bag in days, but I really like the ocean camo micro metro crossbody. It feels fresh and fun to me.

Congrats on pregnancy! Please stay healthy and safe. I haven’t bought much direct from MZ in a while..a few Metro Pouches for gifts and myself at Christmas.. other than that just second-hand hoarding Bedford bags.. I do like that Charter print though in Small Sutton..and the new Rose...both teasing for Summer

DC, the print is lovely. I'll also be interested to hear your thoughts about the size of micro metro bag. I like the dawn version.

Estrie, how's the pregnancy now? Hope u are feeling much better already. Chartered stripe is one of the nicer classic print imo. Take care ~

Reba, I also still like Bedford more. Sadly I don't see any interesting new Bedford design.

As for myself magnet lacquer medium Sutton is my work bag for last week. Lacquer bags really doesn't slip off shoulder. I'm hoping to downsize a bit more. But lots of good sale around. (Silly pic of my work pc wallpaper and bag together haha)

Stay safe everyone ❤️

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! I know it’s been quite a while since you posted this, but I just bought a micro Sutton and I wanted to know how well yours has held up? I’m concerned about the corners coming apart where the zipper connects at the side. That seems to be a major stress point. Have you had any issues with yours?
Thanks so much!

Different person here but will offer my experience :) I actually have not used my micro sutton a lot, when I did it was jammed full. It did not appear to experience any more/unusual strain compared to any other size Sutton, all of which I use often. I have had basically no real long-term quality/longevity issues. The Oxford fabric is quite robust and the bag itself is not structured so weight gets distributed. In comparison, I have a Chloe bag with the softest most lovely lamb skin leather but the bag’s strap attachments are sewn to that delicate outer leather only (!), which just begs tearing. It’s not even a light bag. Ridiculous structural design. I took that bag to the cobbler to have the outside sewn to the inner canvas lining. Anyways, the suttons are nothing like that.

The only signs of damage I have encountered with Suttons:
- The top handle of my MUCH used small sutton has barely shown a small tear from the main bag. It’s not even a tear, it hasn’t progressed, it’s just a stitch hole is a little larger than originally and it’s a bright bag so the white inner is noticeable (to me). This hasn’t happened on any other and I still have no fear using the strap.
- A medium sutton’s inner slip pocket started to separate from the lining. I was likely too rough with it (it’s not my favorite color/bag).

These oxford bags have been around a while and I think we basically never hear about tearing issues. Hope to hear how you like the bag!

Thanks I initially was turned onto this brand by the micro Sutton but now I’m leaning towards the small gramercy. I don’t carry a lot and now with the virus I’m carrying even less. The Leopard print one is super cute. I might hold off a bit I feel like between Mother’s Day and Memorial Day maybe a good sale will pop up.
