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!

Does this purple lean too dark? Too blackish?...I miss Currant...

So happy to hear you love it. I'm going to order a abbey cross body in amethyst.

I'm going to assume that you ladies either a) are busy having awesome weekends or b) are really just not smitten with any other brand of nylon bag than mz wallace or c) both.

I get it, I'm way way way in to my Kate diaper bag and love the quality and details as I use it one handed, in a sand box, with a baby on my hip. I mean, wipes clean with a baby wipe, smooth gliding zippers, lovely to look at. Pleated pockets are genius for actually holding tons without either making the interior useless or bag look huge and unwieldy. They are like magic and now I only want to use bags with pleated exterior pockets.

I only look at similar looking (in photos) options in other brands because they are usually a third of the price or less and I've heard good things about the quality of brands like tumi voyageur, Kipling in black with gold hardware, and lesportsac signature and some of them I mentioned even look almost as pretty. Almost. But I'm probably in the budget restricted minority here, so I get it. Ironically the one other nylon bag I do see love for on TPF is the le pliage which I bought last winter in my favorite shade of purple and can not get myself to use even once. I use it to store backup supplies in the car in case a kid pukes all over the inside of the car and themselves. Again. But otherwise I hate the style for actually carrying.

Anyway I'm cool with waiting for LuvAllBags' discarded pretties to end up on eBay and swooping in like a bargain shopping vulture. :)

I do like tumi quite a bit. I did like the kipling city collection but I don't think they make it anymore. However what I have the most of is Mz.
 
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?

I had, but sold, a black with gold hardware Kate Signature LeSportsac. It was very similar in size to the Penny but sportier. The strap was permanent, as is Penny's chain strap. It was a cute little bag with great pockets, I just wasn't reaching for it. If using a casual black bag I was grabbing Lizzy never that one.., so I sold it. The Penny is more of a night out kind of bag...my two have more style for that than the very casual LeSportsac did.

This Tumi wristlet, Journey Vienna, would be a great inside another bag addition. It has three separate compartments and has a great leather strap. I have 2. They come in lots of colors, and you can find on sale. I use on walks with my Kippy [emoji190].
