After comparing the Madison black and silver blue strap, I think all Madison strap is kinda 3D at the end. The silver blue fabric is slightly thicker so maybe that's why it's more prominent to me. And gosh the black strap's "hook ring" is even closer to the leather patch lol. I don't use the black strap so I have never observed it upclose.

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:


Welcome I'm about your height/ size. I had a medium metro tote and it was really tote size.

1. Oxford nylon will slouch if the bag is not full. So it may or may not look big on u. If u are familiar with longchamp, medium metro tote is about the size of long handle large le pliage with even wider base.

2. I remember I can swing the strap over my shoulders. For me the dual strap doesn't stay on well. Not sure is it because I've narrow shoulder.

3. Personally I like jute and I think it's a great neutral. The brown hue and print should be fine.

4. I think birthday code is only for Mzw rewards member. You can read more about it on their website. $50 code is for a survey we did last month. As a new buyer u should receive a first time buyer code too when u sign-up on mzw website.

You guys…. I love reading your posts and tbh I feel like purchasing something Oyster Metallic….the oyster color is such a beautiful neutral, and now that the peeling issue on metallics has been reviewed….. oh my….
and now that I see this beautiful pic from ms p, the Silver Blue color has me wondering as well. Silver Blue looks like a very special color…. ms p, I adore the shiny strap of your silver blue piece…..

I am trying to practice self control and will try to purchase just one bag with the survey coupon. Will tell you how this goes….. ayayayyy….

Dc I agree with you, the Mini Soho Tote is epic. Thank you for reminding me of it’s greatness. I need to pull mine out as well to take out for a spin….

These days I have been using a Metro Tote I bought years ago through the lady who gracefully marketed MZW in Geneva before she was asked to stop by MZ headquarters. Headquarters wanted to run the international business via online. This tote is rather special. The color is Amethyst, with silver hardware. The nylon is thicker than usual, and it is a tad bigger than the Mini Metro Tote, and smaller than the Small Metro. It has 7 quilts vertically and 11 horizontally (highest point) on the front panel. I love it’s size and how special it is. Here is a pic:

Hello Parisparis1, I think ms p answered your questions very well. I just wanted to add that although the Medium Metro Tote is amongst the best selling totes at MZW, I personally don’t like it because of the sliding straps, and because the size feels to me like a smushy black hole. I prefer the Small Metro Tote, because of its size and ease of use. And although the SMT is supposed to be a hand held tote, I glide it through the top of my arms to my shoulders with no problem. I am 5’4. I hope this helps, and welcome to our lovely forum.

Received the denim today. I liked it but it had a glue spot or something on it. So taped it up and sent it back. Might try oyster but I don’t know in what .

How's the color ? The glue thing u might be able to remove by lightly rubbing your finger on it.

Oyster doesn't comes with much choice. After using silver blue Madison Satchel this morning, I think I can skip oyster lol it's my latest love :D

I tried to gently rub it , but what ever it was would not budge. The color was not very bright but would have looked great with jeans.
I am delighted you like the satchel so much. Now that you like it so much you are skipping the oyster I really am amazed.

I know right haha I'm going to plan my outfit around this bag this week. I'm really happy with it ☺️

Why I'm skipping oyster medium Sutton is because Madison Satchel size is identical to medium sutton. I like the satchel more definitely after having use it - it has 2 exterior pockets (I kept my keys and wipes in it) , and the bag holds it shape when packed up so I can lay my stuff vertically or horizontally inside the bag neatly. Also I still think Oxford dual straps will slip off my shoulders (I had a lacquer medium sutton the dual strap didn't stay on me too)

You are rocking the Madison satchel! The Silver Blue color goes well with your sun dress. I like the satchel.

I wanted to ask about the Oyster material. Since you saw it first hand, can you please tell me if it’s a tad sticky? Do you think it’s a better investment to buy a non-metallic piece for the long run?
