Hopefully. I am waiting for Ruby and Bordeaux. I will probably have to skip Midnight. I have enough Navy!
Oh, thank you. They do look lighter. Really caught my interest lately. Have you seen their new Garnet color for Fall? So pretty... A rival with MZW Ruby or Bourdeux maybe? We'll have to check those against each other. Do you think Geneva is comparable to MZW Alice? Or is it much bigger?

I bought the cocoa today at Nordys. I love it. It's very close to Kingsport Grey.... which I picked up online last week at the MZ sale.
The colors are often initially perceived by many as so-so....and then... they grow on us...and we see different pics...and we all want it...much like Kingsport Grey at first...I am sure Cocoa is pretty in real-life. Enjoy. Post pics if you have a chance....
The cherry Marlena arrived today and I love the color. I think it's a touch less yellow than the photo makes it look.
I hadn't bought in a long time and am glad to see that the dustbags are nicer now. HUGE and not made out of that plasticky stuff like free tote bags.
The one thing I wanted to show was how a 13" Macbook Air fits in it. The MZW site lists it as fitting a 13" laptop and I would say that it's sort of true. This is where the laptop fits when you line it up to the bottom seam of the back panel. With some slouch or angling it would sit below the drawstring but it would be really close if you had a larger laptop or a thick case. I think it's better suited to an 11".
A couple other things - this does not come with a metro pouch - I'm going to use one of my spares. Also the drawstring pull doesn't work like I thought it did. It just has a certain amount of tension on the cord- it doesn't have a button to squeeze to release.

Have some tumi's also from voyager colllection. They are great bags but in torrential rain my crossbody tumi got soaked as well as everything in it. I know the coated twill in mz can take , but I do not know about the bedford nylon as I did not even tempt fate in that bad of weather as I had gotten caught in with the tumi.
Love your new backpack. I am opposite of you about the new dustbags. I find these so slippery that they do not look neat in the shelf. Most are to big for the bag that is in them that I loose space trying to fold the slippery excess to fit neatly in the closet. Which means I can fit less bags as I only have a certain amount of storage space allotted to bags. I am glad you like them though. I can't stand them. I am almost tempted to make dust bags that fit them myself just to make more room.The cherry Marlena arrived today and I love the color. I think it's a touch less yellow than the photo makes it look.

So true. Even different bags in this color on line look slightly different. If you happen to see in real life, report back if you like or not.......enjoy that pretty backpack....
This is so true, and Kingsport Grey and Prussian Blue are two perfect examples of colors that many people slept on at launch, judging by the sale prices they both reached, but now seem to be highly coveted on ebay, among other places. I know that I was indifferent to both colors until I saw pics of them by owners in other light settings. MZW's website has accurate pics, but the rich dimensionality of their colors is almost always missing.
@Starsnhevn, I hope you post pics, as I am definitely interested in a warm neutral color for a future purchase.
Hoping for other colors for fall.
The problem with the old ones for me is that weird fabric would literally turn to dust if it was exposed to much sunlight. I had some cat play houses made of the same stuff that did the same thing. Cotton dustbags are really my favorite.
