I'm fairly short 5'2 so I thought the regular /larger will overwhelmed me. It didn't. The smaller size was a bit awkward as a tote - the double strap felt like it should be at least 1 inch long. I don't really use it as crossbody for both sizes as the 2 long handle looks off to me when the bag is worn crossbody but that's just me.
I see what you mean. It does look really good on shoulder on you. I’ve been leaning smaller lately so the smaller tote appealed to me visually. I think if shoulder straps can mostly hang down they’re not too distracting but if they stick out they can be hazardous around stair banners, door knobs, fences and such!

I think the micro sutton is just too small to be deluxe.
Think you’re right. Recently surprised myself by fitting very comfortably into a micro, mostly thanks to a medium metro pouch merely compartmentalizing keys inside the bag! Previously it just felt too cramped, and confusing without the standard key/market bag lanyard and double front inside pockets :shrugs:

Hope I didn’t cause a buying frenzy
I like the Dawn/Sunflower combos.. I ordered the strap with points to update my Dawn Lizzy

This is brilliant! The wider straps have been taking me time to adjust to, also. Is it more comfortable for shoulders? Visually it’s never been my preference before, while MZW’s standard nylon straps looked just right. This update looks perfect :idea:

I’ve been eyeing Lizzys on Poshmark and thinking of you!

Lol..definitely a collector of Lizzy. I think I have 7! I have a couple of wider straps. I find them comfortable crossbody. Not too different. I also pulled my Tigereye Lizzy and put a white leather crossbody strap from another bag i have.. my caramel/whiteD706FC56-7437-44FE-B5B2-45F71022B691.jpeg
 
I am pleased by all the Dawn w/ silver hardware offerings and wish I weren’t at a bag saturation and usage/need level where it’s really hard to justify more.
“Bag Saturation”…so there too. Every time I decide to go through to sell some I end up closing the closet and walking away.. I do rotate and use most throughout the year. But, still..
Now when new comes out, I go to my closet and tell myself I probably have something similar and maybe even made better than what they crank out now…

Ur tigerlily Lizzy is beautiful:heart::love: i had Jane in Tigerlily and its a really beautiful color. I was so tempted to grab the small Sutton in the new Caramel color but i prefer GW better
 
Just wanted to share the warm platinum quatro tote. I'm 5'2 :smile: didn't think I'd enjoy using it so much :heart: Almost 2 weeks straight! I like this much better than the smaller metro quatro version (it's on edu fyi)

Does this bag "stand up" on it's own? I've been struggling to effectively use the small Metro Tote Deluxe for work because file folders keep slipping to the bottom of the bag and getting bent/curved.
 
Hi dc and samari :) I think because it's warm platinum fabric so Yes it does stands up even when empty :) here's a pic of it at natural resting position.

The double shoulder straps are quite narrow though. So u might need to use the long adjustable strap for a more comfortable wear if u are carrying heavier items (especially when not wearing jacket/ coat etc)

Thank you so much for doing this! I've watched ALL of the YouTube videos and nobody just stands these bags up empty.

You are most welcome :smile: the regular Bowery fabric quatro I'm not too sure can it stand. But I remember the small size metro quatro also stands up when empty. I think I had shared previously here ... Err I think if memory serves me correctly lol (I sold that already so couldn't verify)
