image.jpeg Jujube also sells these packs of 3 pouches called a "be set", but I've never bought any of their pouches. They area all anti microbial and machine washable though, so handy for makeup bags that usually get gross or even for packing some snacks perhaps.

Now I'm thinking to get some of these pouches and wristlets inexpensively from ju-ju-be to keep the inside of my mz wallace bags organized and clean!

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?

Sorry for the delay! :smile: I have a few lesportsac hanging around - I tend to use them when I'm super casual like volunteering, on the trail, or at sporting events. There are a couple of quirky prints I love, but otherwise I find lesportsac to be very casual though they wear like iron. They went through a big overhaul and I think most of their new nylons are thinner. Their signature line is nice, I just haven't found a style that works for me.
I keep eyeing tumi but their cross body bags aren't deep enough for me. They have great colors though and I always hear great things about their warranty and durability.
I tried Kipling once and the cotton-like strap threw me off - it was too skinny and clinged to my clothes.
I can't get past the top flap on longchamp...it would be such a distraction for me!

Moved into Amethyst Roxy. Love her. Did a thorough inspection - no issues. The lining is so pretty. Waiting for better light to take pics. Kind of dreary and hazy here today.

Even though I have a love/hate relationship with Roxy, I have to admit it holds everything I need and then some with room to spare. If it fit my work laptop better I'd be 98% satisfied. As it stands I'm 95% satisfied...that extra few percent will never be recovered, as I still love the refinement of the classics, and find Roxy to be a bit floppy. BUT the pros of the great pockets outweigh the cons and the style keeps growing on me.

BTW, every time I move into an MZ from another bag, it feels like greeting an old friend...[emoji4][emoji173]️

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 love this! Your feelings about Roxy match mine exactly. For the small bag, check out Abbey cross-body. It will hold the items you mention. I LOVE mine.

Agree with every single thing here. Lesportsac too casual for my life. I work in a corporate environment. Need something appropriate for that on a daily basis. I tried Tumi Voyageur - meh. Not special for the price and the nylon scuffs. I dropped one of my Tumis on the ground and it got a huge scuff. None of my MZs have a scuff after all these years...even my oldest and dearest most used Jane and Frankie. Kipling is also too casual for me. Longchamp - love thier leather bags, not a huge fan of the le pliage. No organization, flap is annoying.

I should add that I do love the smallest size Le Pliage. Terrific for quick outings, and great for travel because they fold up flat. I don't need the organization in a bag that small. I have a few of those and adore them. They hold more than you'd think.

+1 on xbroxy! It does hold quite a bit and is an awesome casual summer bag.
Luv, I've always thought the mini le pliage is soooo cute! If I find one in an awesome teal I'm getting it...i can fudge with a flap for that kind of cuteness.

It's totally cute! I recommend it, especially if you can find one on ebay or on sale. There are some past colors close to teal. Not this season, unfortunately. I have tried the larger sizes and they are not for me. I kept my limited edition Statue of Liberty medium short handle, and one large long handle I keep around in case I need a big carryall or we have monsoon-like weather. I almost never use them though.
