MZ Wallace Bags (Opinions on MZ Wallace Bags, Part 2)

Omg I totally had a baby! Wow, what a trip all of it is. I didn't like most of pregnancy and then it all just kept getting more and more interesting, hahaha. But wow I have never been so smitten. Anyways, not a July baby! A week early, June 24, in a room with a beautiful view of Boston, so had it been July 4 night the fireworks would've been on full display It all worked out well, though.

Amethyst is the first since Dawn Charli that I've been in real lust, with a new baby, so that says something to me, and I'm like plotting my color and size strategy for Suttons. The thin shapeless sacks that come with metro bags have been useful for diapers and stuff!

I'm new to this thread but congratulations! First baby? My 4th baby just turned 1!

Yay for a week early!! One less week of prego is always good! And one more week of being with baby is great!!! Congrats! You totally need an Amethyst - an extra Sutton for when spit-up, blow-out or spills happen..[emoji480][emoji480]

Shucks, thanks. You too, and happy birthday to your littlest! Everyone says the time passes really fast.

I had a whole response to your Q about dressy styles and color/hardware combo started but the forum app lost it, which is OK cause everything I said has been covered already by you and everyone else! I'm currently really considering Abbey crossbody since the strap is removable.

Ooh, excellent justification. Very nice. Cause yay blowouts. He's peed on the changing pad more times than we can count anymore too. Btw, I can't even imagine being due at the end of summer like you had to endure! Augh. Though I guess these hot flashes afterwards are also normal...

I am a little mystified by my departure from MZW pockets lately. The Sutton is SO light that I don't seem to mind that lack of shape/structure and pockets. The many pockets have always been such a great convenience, but the hardware adds up to being heavier.

Comments about the Bailey family is that it's lighter (edit: I meant ROXY family), but I don't love the style, even in Amethyst [emoji849] So, am also currently working on my new daily bag strategy once work and commuting resumes, with the new person. Maybe Abbeys are the answer :-o

I kept looking at Roxy family thinking..nah...because traditional MZ's looked so much more impressive. But..., I have to say.., I gave in and two things..., yes...a little less refined..but, still much nicer in person than in pics. And yes lighter..which to me = comfy. The bag may seem a bit more casual too (life in general seems to be anyway). You are going to be carrying A LOT of stuff for the next decade or two...you might want to check it out/give it a chance [emoji6][emoji480][emoji459][emoji458][emoji464][emoji466]️[emoji473][emoji472]

.....and those flat leather straps..[emoji106]

....by the way Estrie...before baby..when we last chatted here..you were expecting your arrival 7/1 and I was expecting my son on 7/1 home from college..yours was happily early! ...mine...stayed the long weekend to party...then got nabbed with a $180 speeding ticket on the way home...[emoji37]..enjoy the sweet baby years!

Excellent suggestions from Reba and Luvall. If you don't like a chain strap Pippa is a nice evening style. It has a narrow strap and can definitely be dressed up. I also have a Bailey in graphite luster color that I use for evening too. It has metallic leather trim with a nice sheen.

Agree with this too. My black Pippa could be dressed up due to that skinny strap.

Wait, is Betty another cute little wallet? I seem to remember being jealous of a Betty you might've posted? I eventually got myself a Valentine's day Petey and... Also have a spare. Ha. Actually busted into my spare Greta and scratched that so now obviously need Amethyst Greta.

You are too funny!

Do you like the pippa as much as the penny? I really really like exterior pockets....so I don't think pippa is in my future. Roxy wallet and penny and abbey wristlet could be, although I don't have an extra thin black strap or chain to convert abbey wristlet into crossbody, which would be great.

The Abbey bags definitely seem to have a place for everything. I LOVE the cross-body and am curious about the small and medium tote.

I definitely don't like it as much. I like all its different sections but I prefer exterior pockets. I actually love the Abbey crossbody and may consider finding a thin black strap I can switch out with its nylon strap. It has a dressy look to it in black but the nylon strap brings it down.

I have been using Medium Sutton for my summer purse. Am I the only one who finds those flimsy non-zip pockets annoying? I also have the sliding strap issue (don't use the CB), which didn't bother me on large Sutton that I use only for travel, and opening and closing the zipper often takes 2 hands. Not my favorite bag!

Congrats, Estrie! Glad everything went well.

What about amethyst Kate?

Yes, Bettie (I think I spelled it incorrectly before) is about the size of Greta but with more rounded corners and some classic pleating.

Do you love Petey and spare Petey? Isn't it such an easy little thing to use? And, yes, obviously you now need Amethyst Greta.

Last year Small Sutton was my Summer purse. Had a summer love thing and was done...missed outside pockets, got tired of having to put it down and go in, like you said, with both hands..not ever a quick grab for anything. But, was so cute...
