Thank you so much for your feedback! Now I just have to decide between emerald and midnight. Wish their were photos of midnight to check out.

Midnight is supposed to be deep blue with violet undertones. Sounds gorgeous! But, emerald is bright and fun. Seems like a year round color. You can't go wrong with either - just need to decide which one you'd get more use out of :) or you can always get both ;) ha!

There is a picture of midnight on page 46 of this thread. Post #677

I would pick midnight over emerald. Their blues are always so gorgeous. I have a navy Belle and midnight is so pretty that I sort of want it too.

You are right the midnight is classic. I do like the emerald sale price though how long does it take for the bags to go to sale price? Is midnight going to be with gold zippers?

Midnight has gold hardware. I own belle in emerald and it is a beautiful deep color, very reflective and has great versatility. Since this is your first purchase I would start with the sale belle in emerald. There will be an espresso color for fall, a very deep blackish brown with silver hardware. I will be using my emerald year round. The color in real life is much better than the pics on the MZW web site,

Thank you for the input. Do bags tend to drop further than 30% on their sales before being retired?

I saw someone earlier had a baby jane in plum. The mz Wallace rep said it was only available to select wholesalers. Does this happen often? How do you know if a bag exists this way?

hi again jeepgirl( I am a jeep gal too),
I have the plum baby jane. it is available only at boutiques. here's the story:
MZW web site and stores do not have everything. they sell to Nordstroms, boutiques and the NYC Bloomingdales some item exclusively. i.e., plum baby jane. they are both retail and wholesale. find a boutique near you to see bags in real life.

many of here post intel as we get it, go back thru the posts and read and from this point on, you will see the NEWS appear.
it is a good idea when you see the news to just copy it somewhere for yourself. I actually keep a little mzw notebook with colors, date released, and styles.
the MZW web site is a great resource, many of read it daily and like them on FB or send in our email for updates.
you can of course always call a store. their customer device is excellent. the more you read here, the more you will learn about the styles. we have a pics only section, go to page 1. you will see many personal IRL pics there. have fun and welcome, we are all a bit crazy about MZW.

re prices, there are a few sales several times a year. mostly to only about 30-40% off and many are the items that did not sell out. if you give them your email, you will get notifications. the emerald belle you like now is at a good sale price.

Great the final sale scared me and I was hoping it wasn't one of those things where I buy it and the next day it is marked down further!

I did go back through the posts to see who got the Plum Baby Jane and found your post with the beautiful pics. A sales rep said she would contact stores for me to see who would ship as none were ordered in Chicago and the outlying areas. It certainly adds to the brand's mystique!

I have an emerald Marlena and agree that the images online do not do the color justice. I wasn't all that excited about it until I saw it IRL at a local boutique. It is quite vibrant and has greater visual depth than the photos can show. I also see it as a year-round color. I'm excited to use it in winter when everyone is coated in black, and I can show a pop of bright green!

That being said, midnight looks gorgeous! I think either would be a good choice, with emerald standing out more and midnight being safer. If midnight does go on sale, it won't be for a while - holiday time I would think.

Agreed. And I think that honestly, midnight won't last long enough to go on sale. Usually their dark blues tend to sell out pretty fast.

This is the advice I needed to fully pull the trigger. Emerald Belle is on the way! This is huge as I have never spent this much on a handbag my husband thinks it crazy that it will cost the same as our crib.

I didn't have the need for a big bag so don't have Belle BUT that was the bag I saw IRL that made me appreciate emerald. Congratulations! You will love it!!
