Totally about to order denim micro metro tote. Micro Sutton is my standard now and am looking forward to seeing how a similarly sized metro deluxe performs. Looking forward to your thoughts on denim. I don’t love it in pictures (seems dull) but in theory it’s a color I typically love, so willing to give it a try.
When it arrives, I will take a picture of it. I love the look of the Micro metro Too. Can't wait to see yours. People keep saying it doesn't photograph well, that is another reason I took a chance the color is brighter. I have two light blue bags that I listed for now that also keep coming out duller in photos.

Yay happy belated birthday!

Many of MZW’s bags I don’t particularly like, but the only bags I use are MZWs! If you’re loving those others (your sling and bucket), that’s great! They look super useful and classic.

I ordered a couple cheap small Sutton knock offs named Riley from modern+chic. Perfectly competent, one strap clasp is tight so the chrome peeled on the inside (not visible, but could spread?), the fake leather feels cheap and is unnecessary, crossbody straps are smooth and slippery… My seven year old loves carrying the silver one around :p Probably if I really tried to use it it would be fine. But it doesn’t hold up to MZW quality and feel.
 
Wanted to share the long weekend trip bag situation. Two small kids and one MZW lover’s worth of stuff.
- Star metro backpack is the kid’s now (way too big for him but it works for trips like this in which he entirely packed himself up)
- Estate Blue Small Belle is the diaper bag deemed “daddy’s bag” because he usually carries it lol
- Mother’s Day roses medium metro
- Peony Pearl Micro Crosby
- Blue Camo Large Sutton hadn’t been used in two years!
- Mushroom Max surprisingly hasn’t gotten visibly dirty despite coming on all our trips (doesn’t rub on jeans?); Once on an airplane was another Max used as a gorgeous purse
- Neon pink Mini Metro Tote Deluxe replaced my daily micro sutton because I thought I needed the space. Didn’t use the extra items in the extra space, but was glad to discover the extra fabric didn’t bother me anymore

Thank ü :)
 
I saw someone selling locally a pre-owned metallic silver top handle mzw backpack. The handle has peel quite bad. This reminded me some ladies mentioned metallic Oxford might peel with use. Has anyone experienced this ?

What are u planning to get with the $50/ 20% code valid for only this month?

My Tin (silver) micro Sutton was a dream through winter and summer, but I noticed the handle starting wear after seeing one listed on Poshmark with practically the entire handle peeled.

My neon pink mini metro’s handles are showing wear at the folds too, though. And I snapped up a pink dip/tie dye Micro Sutton with barely any info because :loveeyes: and it arrived in super rough shape. It cleaned up, but again the folds of the handle have wear. My very first Small Sutton from way back was used way more and has none of this wear. It has one pin hole that never got worse. Really can’t say if the fabric has changed or not, but the older oxfords have apparently held up better!

Oh dear I thought only the metallic Oxford might show wear/ peel. My Oxford usually ends up with snag. Base on your bags the older Oxford is definitely much better.
 
Dears,
I changed into my Navy Gramercy Crossbody today. I have to say this bag is my favorite because of the organization and size. I like it more than the Small Crosby. Here is a picture I managed to take while in an elevator. Which MZW bag is your favorite to run around the city doing errands? And why?

I am new to MZ Wallace and am hoping you all can help me decide on a bag for my first purchase. I'm petite (5')/size 6 and will primarily use this for travel, particularly air travel. I'm liking all the features of the Medium Metro Tote Deluxe. I've watched/read a few reviews but can't seem to get a beat on a couple of things. Hoping someone here can help.

1. Will the medium be massive on me?
2. Is it easy to sling the straps onto your shoulder and do they mostly stay put?
3. Is the new jute/greige color going to get filthy quickly? Should I just get black since this could be a staple?
4. Seeing comments about a $50/20% code and a birthday discount. My birthday is tomorrow! I signed up on the site for emails today but don't know if I can input bday anywhere or if it would matter.

I did poke through this thread but it's 1389 pages long! :smile:

No clue! Waiting for the Sutton to arrive and see how I feel about it first.

The newer metallic oxfords feel different and like they won't peel.

I received the silver blue Madison Satchel. It's so pretty !! I'm excited to use it tomorrow :) <3 Delivery was super fast I'm so surprised - I ordered on 02Jun and received on 05Jun. Thumbs up <3 <3 <3

The chain strap is more for decoration. Strap drop is about 5-6" if anyone is wondering. I don't think I'll be using it.

Will take better pics tomorrow :) Lighting is off here now (night time locally). The only strange thing is the long strap ends doesn't lay flat. I don't remember my black Madison shopper strap is like this. The ring to hook a pouch is really close to the leather patch on the strap.
