MZ Wallace Bags (Opinions on MZ Wallace Bags, Part 2)

Maybe you’ll have better luck the next day. I know that all call centers are overwhelmed and under staffed thanks to covid. I had my fun dealing with that today with my 401K took nearly 30 + minutes to talk to someone and it;s beyond frustrating because my problem is a re-occurring internal issue at their end that I’ve been dealing with for a year and a half. I also get a million calls a day at work for .com issues and instacart issues neither of which I can see or help with. Because they’ve tried calling those numbers and can’t get through and they think I have some magical inside phone number I can give them.

I did get my 3rd confirmation email today. So one might be delivered tomorrow and the other one maybe the end of next week with the holiday. I wish their website was better structured so I could see my order and know which one is coming.

I got through today but they did not honor the sale. So I decided to pass. I have never actually seen the magnet leopard in person. I hope that Mz at least ships my backpack. If I am crazy about the print I can always pay full price at a later date.
I glad your stuff is coming. Post pictures if you have time.

I must say that I've been enjoying the Small Deluxe Metro Tote special edition. First Metro I've had and I bought it because of the outside pockets, smaller size and shoulder strap. I am also very distressed that all of the Bedford bags have disappeared from the website. Hopefully, this is a supply issue and not a re-working of the brand.

Love that you got the small deluxe metro and are enjoying it! I jumped on it cause the smaller size with crossbody and pockets was just what I’d been waiting for, then add the rose interior. I have been using a charter small sutton on my few trips out of the house, so haven’t moved into the deluxe metro but am impressed with the pockets. The outer ones are deep enough to make me possibly comfortable with putting phones or keys there!

Paige was my very first MZ Wallace, which I ended up gifting to someone after much use. It is just so sophisticated and put together and useful. But no longer quite what I need, as is true for any bedford style, which makes me feel bad cause I think they are phenomenal bags! Nothing beats their pockets/function + style.

At this point even the Crosby’s aren’t for me because zippers mean weight. And I almost always need to carry a laptop. It all just changes how I configure bags.

When I saw magnet leopard in person it didn’t call to me as much as in pictures, not sure why. Maybe it wasn’t as mellow and cool-toned as I tend to like :shrug:.

A friend just told me Flat of the Hill (Boston gifts boutique) no longer carries MZ Wallace because MZW decided to stop supplying to specialty shops this spring! They posted on their Instagram like three months ago apparently. Given what a large audience FotH had for MZW it really surprises me. Not sure if “specialty” ends up including most small independent sellers. Anyway, that was where I saw and fell in proper love with charter, was enamored with shiny rose gold oxford, and was totally ambivalent to Max (even though I still think I want it for no reason). Gonna miss that ability to visit and see.

Estrie, The outside pockets are great- iPhone 11 in one slip pocket with plenty of room to spare yet doesn't fall out, keys in another and, these days, masks and hand sanitizer in the zip pockets. I am really enjoying this bag. I have at least a dozen of the Bedford bags because outside pockets are a must for me but this one meets all my requirements. Hope you enjoy yours as well.

Ok so I snapped a few pics of what I got today we had a bit of sun after such a gloomy day.

The first up is the magnet gramercy which I love size wise and design wise but the color just doesn't work for me. I love that it has a skinny nylon strap in addition to the leather strap. I took some pictures of the inside and front pocket for reference. The outside of pocket is a single pocket and plenty of room for my s10. The interior has one card size pocket and a zip pocket. I honestly thought the zip pocket was odd it has a divider in it which is a con for me I usually like that pocket for my pads. I would absolutely buy this again but it has to be the right color. Black will be a easy go too but I'd like a purple burgundy or maybe a dark greenish blue turquoise teal color would be fun. They do still have port online but only on their website and it's final sale. I haven't seen the color IRL if I had I'd be more inclined to go for it. But not at final sale for something I haven't seen IRL.

Next up the micro Sutton. The holographic is going back because it's not true love but I felt like getting another shot in the sun for reference. I also got dazzle which is the original color that drew me to this brand. It's a bit bolder than I remember. The shoulder strap is thicker than the gramercy strap and I honestly think that the thinner strap is better for this size bag. So that means that the last one I am waiting on is the magnet leopard micro sutton.

The last up is the plum phone bag. This color is awesome and I love it. It also fits my s10 and has several card slots but I don't know how much more I could really fit into it. It has a skinny nylon strap and a chain/leather wristlet type strap/handle. The chain strap is super cute but imo a tad heavy which is a minus for me. I'm 50/50 on it for two reasons one it has a thread with what I'm hoping is glue on it. I worry that cutting it might make it look frayed. My other reason is because of the size I wonder how it will wear. Just trying to stuff both of the straps back into it made it look a tad strained in the middle of the bag.

What a bummer that they're not honoring the sale price for past season colors. I'll post pictures when I get it next week. I'd wait for it to go on sale again.

Ohh that’s right Dazzle. Really lovely!!

Really great observation about the wide strap on micro sutton. I think I’d felt similarly. It is the same strap as other suttons and that makes enough sense but feels a touch disproportionate.

For me that strap is so comfortable on the micro Sutton. I don’t mind it at all.

Surprisingly my magnet leopard mini Crosby was delivered today I was surprised when I got home from work to see it delivered on a Sunday. It's super cute I grabbed a few pics not the greatest because it is hot AF outside and 90% humidity too. I will say the print does look a bit acid wash too describe it best, it's leopard print but looks like it has extra splotches on it I know I'm the worstat describing stuff. I took a closer up picture which I hope shows what I'm talking about. It didn't come with the dustbag which was disappointing but not the end of the world.

I'm leaning towards keeping the leopard mico sutton and the phone bag. The phone bag seems very unpractical but its just so cute. I'm about 50/50 on the dazzle micro Sutton I really like it but I don't know color wise how much use I'll actually get out of it.

Also while I haven't gotten a official cancelation from Bloomingdale's yet for the magnet leopard gramercy I had noticed that the pending charge is no longer pending and it didn't post so I would be shocked if I got it. I half wonder if they're keeping the sale "open" in case they get a return and they can sell it.

It is very cute! I am looking forward to my backpack in this pattern. It looks like it can be worn year round.

I am still waiting on two orders. Hopefully they will ship soon .

Super cute. Magnet leopard Micro sutton seems to work especially well!

I finally got a shipping confirmation 13 days after my order for the magnet leopard gramcery today. Yesterday I emailed a complaint because it was out of stock shortly after my purchase and when checking the status for it it showed that it was still in stock (at full price). Even though this was the style I originally wanted in the magnet leopard I’m thinking that I’ll probably end up returning it in favor of the micro Sutton and as much as I love gray leopard I don’t think I can justify having two bags so similar.
