Renza - my full Greta is just a hair under 4 in x 6 in. It probably hits that exactly if it's emptier.

Thanks so much! Do you love it? And are you more of a big wallet or small wallet girl? What does it feel like to you? And how thick is it when filled up?

I am searching the threads for opinions on Katherine and Greta because I know they have been mentioned multiple times, but it is really hard to wade through these massive threads. So I am asking now for all opinions on the Katherine Wallet or the Greta Wallet, and if anyone has both and can compare the two, I would greatly appreciate it! Also if you could say how thick they are that would be awesome. Oh and if anyone also has a Christoff to compare to the Katherine that would be awesome, because I find my Christoff so bulky and am wondering if the Katherine feels more streamlined without the extra exterior zip section. Thanks in advance!

I have Katherine in cardamom (purchased along with my emerald Marlena this weekend). I like the shape of a continental wallet, in particular I like that the bills are not folded and that there isn't the extra room in the bill section at the bottom. It also has a lot of card slots, which I love, as well as multiple bill sections, which I use for receipts and other paper. Can't comment on Greta but that's what I like about Katherine.

wallets, I have katherine and greta. and I was a he fan of Hobo Lauren wallets.
first, the measurements are all on the mzw page, under details, size and interior shots. I do not think of the greta as a wallet, I think of it only as an addition for bare essentials for smaller bags. I love the katherine, for me, it was a natural alternative to the lauren from hobo which is oversized and bulky, info can be found at Nordstroms or hobo International.
katherine is a classic continental with lots of cc space, pockets for receipts and business cards, billfold, change pocket, and it folds over nice and slim even when loaded. I have both a smooth leather in sapphire, love the contrasting color on the inside. also have the neon pink, great pop of color. leather has a nice texture to it, wearing very well.
greta is more of a pouch with a few card slots. only useful, to me, for smaller bags or to keep other special cards separate.
hope this helps you……….

Thanks, reading your opinions is very helpful!
It is very frustrating but they don't include dimensions for these wallets on MZ Wallace, so I was hoping someone would be able to measure theirs. :smile1: I do get a sense from the photos I found in the reference thread.

I like the greta. I am somewhere in the middle as far as small / large wallets. I don't really like wallets bigger than about 4 x 6 or that are really thick. I dislike zip arounds and trifolds for that reason. I usually carry more cards than easily accommodated by the Greta. This is why Ingrid was really my ideal. Greta with 8 cards doubled up in the front + cash and 3 cards in the pouch part is about 1/2-3/4 in thick. I don't keep change in her or use the zip pocket on back.

I don't if they are accurate but the mzw site does have measurements.
Here is a screen shot. The measurements are listed under the details tab.

Ah thank you! I was looking for them underneath the image like they often do with the purses.
I do think their dimensions are a bit misleading though, because the Christoff wallet they claim is only .5 inches deep but with nothing inside it is actually already over 1 inch deep.

What would you like to see for a Summer Friday special?

I'd love to see the medium metro totes on sale. I got a small one and like it, but don't love it due to the short handles. Would love to try a medium.

And if the tangerine hayley went below $200 I'd try that too. I love the hayley, love the orange, but since it's just a want not a need I have to at least get it for a good price :-)

Oh...and maybe a steal on some of the small bags like Sophie, although I'd love to see her in a more fun color than black.

For anyone interested in the Bordeaux color, which will come out in August, the styles available will be Lizzy, Coco, Cleo, Hayley, Penny, Frankie, Kate, and Jane. The color is very similar to the Claret color but richer according to Julianne from MZ Wallace. Looks like they brought back an oldie style the Coco!

Renza, I'm still catching up through the thread but it's important to realize the Neon Greta is the Crossbody Greta which is larger than the non-crossbody.
