Thank you DC! port royale bedford looks very very pretty wow after the maintenance tpf navigation seems to be a bit different. I cannot access the app since many months ago. Now I leave this thread open at the last page inside my web browser. How do u find the small gramercy?

I bought it for the fall so I have not worn it yet. Size wise though I think it will work well.
Today a lovely lady offered me her leopard Micro Sutton and I almost bought it. Then really hit as I just received the black Paige.

Dear ladies,

Apologies for jumping-in the middle of your conversation. Thank you for the great points you make about this brand and the generous sale we have just lived. I have also been enjoying the sale and wonder if these price points we have seen will ever repeat? I recall speaking to MZW customer service about this, they said these prices were a reflection of COVID-19 on their usual sale season.

On another note, since a few months ago, I have grown an appreciation for Bedford nylon....I know... I am so late to the end of the party....
I first bought a Belle backpack, afterwards a Jane, in this sale I bought the Mini Soho Tote in Apple... I wonder if the good old Bedford nylon pieces we see are the last of the last offered? I am personally not impressed with Bedford-Air. I think it’s a luck hit or miss.... it all depends on the individual piece you get. I have seen beautiful pieces people have received.... yet I was not as lucky hence had to return, which is a pain because I live outside the USA.

Welcome to the thread. This is the best sale I have ever seen them do. They do a decent sale twice a year but usually only like 30 percent . I do think we are seeing the end of the old Bedford . That is part of the reason despite not needing another black bag I ordered a black paige . I got lucky and it did not say air. Of course I missed out on a leopard micro Sutton that I wanted ,because I spent to much on the sale this year. I almost bought it anyway , but the package sitting on my desk reminded me to remain sane.

Hi dcooney4, thank you for the warm welcome. I adored this sale! And have been able to purchase a few items I have had my eye on. Because of my geographical location I was unable to participate in last summer's warehouse sale, which I heard had great discounts too. When I spoke with MZW CS this last time, I was told Paige and other pleated models on the sale are still in the good old Bedford nylon... inspired on this thread, I investigated the Paige, and bought a Black and Dawn Paige which will arrive soon. Like you, I also do not need them however, what motivated me were the top notch reviews and the Bedford nylon being phased-out. I also bought last night the Belle backpack in Dawn...I think it is so elegant and understated. I will not need more MZW bags in a long long long time...

Let us know your thoughts on everything when it arrives. The warehouse sale was fun but the lines were long and the weather was extremely hot. Not to mention I don't live in the city so a few hours travel time each way. This is a lot easier.

sooo....I received a Gramercy Satchel in Port, the color is great, and I can see some stitching misalignment which creates an illusion of a dark spot on the bag. I will return. I have not been 100% lucky with Bedford Air. I did buy a Small Gramercy Crossbody in Magnet Leopard which I love. Today I also received my Small Soho Tote in Green Camo in Old Bedford....it is a very pretty piece, it shines as silk, and the size is nice too.

That is a shame about the port. That would annoy me as well. I am glad the soho is good. The magnet leopard looks so cool in pictures. I got the magnet leopard city backpack but it is in the Oxford fabric.

Ohh that backpack is soo cool. You are lucky you managed to find it. I think Magnet Leopard is an interesting neutral. I bought the Key Pouch and a long wallet a while ago, and love them. Magnet Leopard is also rare where I live, so it is one of those few things that give a feeling of exclusivity in my wardrobe. How are you liking your backpack so far?

Welcome to the thread :) I think Bedford air is better for small items. I'd choose to return the satchel too. I like the older Bedford bags although it's heavier. The quality is so much better. I can use without care and it'll still look great. Just curious which country are u from? :)
 
Hi ms p, thank you for the welcome. This thread is fabulous. I agree Bedford nylon is great quality. I received my two Paige today and I like them. I specially like the Dawn one. I saw a review on Paige on You Tube by "Lux Life In The Dog House", and she talks about how she had purchased her Paige second hand. She describes how the bag was dusty and she could tell had been used plenty by the previous owner. Anyways, she washed the bag and she shows how it changed to almost new. It is a great video. To answer your question, I live in Geneva, Switzerland.

I also received a couple of Soho Totes in Old Bedford and they are wonderful.... I really like them.
