I am waiting for an ISO that someone was nice enough to offer to me at a reasonable price. I am waiting for large Pippa in Tortoise. Once it comes I will figure out which, if not all tortoise bags I will keep. A friend already called dibs if I let any go of the Bowery ones. Lol
Is there a specific facebook group your talking about? I have a few i may want to sell.
 
Lacquer stands up more. So does lacquer give the small sutton and micro metro enough structure to improve on floppiness :thinking:

Raisin medium box tote is more muted than I expected. I recently observed that the new Dawn (recycled) is much shinier than an older non-deluxe medium sutton Dawn, so was a little surprised, but it's lovely. Haven't used yet. The small box tote was starting to feel heavy so I moved back into micro metro (which I previously moved out of due to its bulky shape). All the pockets keep me from moving into micro sutton for now, but in due time.

1. I had a black lacquer black small sutton from last year FW. Yes it's more structure.

2. I had the pewter Crosby hobo (lol yes it's gone) It's a lovely shape and classic style imo. I sold because the bag is a more narrow base and the 2 collar zip pocket is kinda closer to the main compartment. I always get confused between the 3 zippers. I wish the zipper pull is slightly diff (eg main section is longer pull?). But I really think it's my own problem .... I may try again lol

3. Does the micro metro fits close or same as the micro sutton?

4. Small box tote is it heavier vs small sutton or micro sutton? The capacity will u say it's between micro and small sutton?

Quartz is lovely! All of these coated materials are so good for weather, we all know. I've simply accepted that they'll eventually take damage and it won't be subtle. Don't know yet about the pearl surfaces, though.

I'm definitely considering the tiny lacquer items... So cute.

Sounds like I really should try black lacquer micro or small items.
It's been years since I've used a hobo. My difficulty is the way everything just hangs out at the bottom of the bag :)

Micro Metro holds a little more than Micro Sutton, but very close. The base is larger, even if the pockets are small and a little hard to get to.

Small Box Tote is on its own a tiny bit heavier (Box .9lb, Sutton .78lb, Metro .72lb per MZW site info). I'm not sure if I found it too easy to add more to the small box tote, or with its shape and the way it sits against my body it felt heavy. Maybe both. When I cleaned it out there were things that settled under other things that I'd forgotten about. The vertical shape does make that more likely especially since it's a smaller bag.

Micro Metro is so dang cute.

Oh, the small box tote’s capacity… Definitely more than Micro Sutton. I think it’s less than small Sutton. The whole thing kind of fits in A small Sutton, and with the pockets and structure (bendy as it is) it doesn’t just bulge and shift to accommodate the way small Sutton might.

Today I moved back into Mini Metro Tote for the added space (not to fill it, just to have it available) and wider openings. It was great!

I haven't seen it IRL. I do have a gemstone Iridescent micro Sutton, I just checked my nordie order and got it at the end of December last year. I've honestly been pretty damn hooked on this bag, I've used some of my other bags but quickly switch back. So while I haven't used it 24/7 I have used it pretty much more often than not the past 9 going on 10 months. The finish on this bag is slightly different texture wise but shows no wear and tear. I like the look of the quartz online and wonder if it would show more wear due to the lighter color. The gemstone color is much darker so it may fair better long term colorwise. I will say it did look completely different colorwise IRL than it did in pictures online. Much more darker purple less green in it. So it makes me wonder if the quartz will also look more different color wise IRL because it looks like a metallic color.

I still haven't pulled the trigger, but I am so tempted. I even went to a mall about an hour and a half away to see if they had anything in the color, but they did not. I did repurchase the Peony mini metro. I sold it because I thought it was too red for me, but then looking at the photos of me modeling it for my friend, I thought it really doesn't look bad on me. I think I had been overwhelmed with so many bags in at once. The last time it wasn't even in my house two hours when I sent it out again. Do you have any boomerang bags?

The hardest part is not being able to see them IRL. I got a white holographic one a few years back and it legit looked like a white quilted trash bag if I saw it IRL I never would have bought it. No where near me carries this brand the closest nordies is about 45 minutes and they generally don't display new colors only classic ones or old ones. I don't want to drive further because I'm lazy and hate driving lol. I tried the white pearl in two different styles this year or maybe it was last year and it was gorgeous but the styles it came in just don't work for me personally. I was hesitant that they would also look like a trash like the other one.

I don't really have any boomerang bags. I only have one bag I regret selling a givichany pandoras box. I sold it because it is just too big size wise, it was the medium size. It had the most gorgeous pebbled leather it was perfection just way too large for my needs I use the micro Sutton so that gives you an idea of how little I carry with me.
