I have been wearing my new black Roxy for about two weeks. I was not sure about it because it is slouchy and lacks designer feel. But today, it totally won my trust. I was on a small trip and ended up taking a lot more items home than i usually carry with me. Roxy has the capacity to fit all the items and remains lightweight. I could not been happier with it.

Now all i wish for a MZW bag which is small enough to fit in my Roxy but big enough to h my 6s plus, sun glass and a few credit cards.

I like that black sutton has black hardware and black leather. In other colors, I think matching hardware would look toyish almost tacky, maybe, maybe not. I sometimes find that the natural leather takes away from them...maybe...

That's the one I've been trying out this week, because it has black hardware. :-) It makes it easier to use it as an all-around bag as opposed to the natural leather that makes the others stick out more. Or at least it makes them stick out more to me....

I love the idea of using abbey crossbody as pouch with essentials in bigger bag. I have my huge Kate for days with the kids but don't always need to take it out of the car and love the bailey which is even a hair smaller & more pockets than the abbey crossbody so it could serve the same purpose! But at $345 vs the abbey $265 it is a pricey micro purse. I will wait for sale or used, in black or navy with gold hardware. If they had the abbey crossbody with gold and dark fabric I would be tempted. Need a small mz wallace bag that serves dual purpose!

And I really want a penny with gold hardware as wallet slash teensy purse, now that I know they exist. Need to keep an eye on eBay. Or a roxy wallet of course, if there was gold hardware and a sale! Haha
Need a mz wallace crossbody wallet!

I'm falling down the rabbit hole!!!!!!

Hahaha, yeah, rabbit hole is one way to put it!

I think Abbey crossbody is available in dark green (pine) with gold hardware. Actually, also black with gold. I just bought it in Quartz for the very purpose you describe. I do think that personally when I go back to a more pocketed MZW I'd take some things out of Abbey Crossbody, though, because some of those items I like to put in pockets, or have more readily available. So then I'm back to rearranging things :p

It surprises me repeatedly that Bailey is so small but everyone has made that observation. I still worry it has too much hardware to be easy inside another bag. I've been using a simple leather clutch pouch. Oh all the possibilities.

Love it. Can you show with the strap? I want it with gold hardware!

You're right the abbey crossbody is available with black/gold. I just don't love it as much as bailey with just one big pleated pocket instead of more. I'm weird but I love separate exterior pockets! I think the bailey would be a great micro purse slash pouch in bag if you took both straps away.

Has anyone tried the lesportsac signature collection in solid black with gold hardware? I am kind of into the Kate style small crossbody for a mz wallace abbey crossbody substitute at quite a lot less money. But I've never owned lesportsac so I have no idea if the quality is at all okay. Could make a good pouch in my diaper bag except the nylon strap doesn't remove so it would tangle up everywhere.

Have any of you found any great models from lesportsac or tumi or longchamp, in terms of lightweight durable nylon items that you feel almost chic using, or is mz wallace the only brand for you?

Or Kipling! I almost forgot Kipling. They have some black nylon bags with gold hardware that are kind of chic to my eyes, the keegan, April and dinah model little crossbody in black/gold look awfully versatile and nin-crappy.

I love my henry in champagne leather, but it's starting to look a little beat up -- was thinking about replacing with the new roxy wallet. Love the color and think the chain dresses it up a bit. Does the iphone 6 in a case fit in the zip pocket in the back? (It fits in the henry, but that's a pouch, not the slit, pocket the roxy has.)

My Amethyst lovelies arrived...of course I adore all of them. Greta is gorgeous and will be a useful little wallet for when I don't need all my daily wallet stuff. The flat Savoy is terrific...perfect size and depth for my needs. I have been using the Ines style but I think like this one better. It's definitely lighter weight than Ines. Love the Amethyst Roxy but there was little doubt there. Mine arrived just fine - no stains or issues. Will switch into her for Mon and take pics tomorrow. The color is terrific - dark and rich - and amazingly, is different than all my other MZ purples. I think they do purple best!
