Long time lurker here, haven't posted in awhile, but love MZW and have many Bedfords--Jane, Baby Jane, Hayley, Bea...in my closet. I've largely overlooked the Sutton but am now drawn to it...Can you help with some questions?
-The small looks REALLY small (e..g smaller then Baby Jane, Hayley..is that so)?
-Functionally, how does it compare to a Metro tote? I have a medium metro that I rarely use as a bag, for fear of the black hole, when I need a tote (pool, beach etc) I typically just grab something less precious. I'm wondering if I should test run the Metro as a bag to get a sense if the Sutton would even meet my needs
-How many pouches does it come with? Sometimes I see 1 listed/pictured, other times I see 3..
Thanks!

I think Sutton is almost the same size as a medium metro. It comes with three pouches.
Small Sutton is really cute and quite popular. I feel like it holds the same amount as small Josie (the only bag I have that is really close). It comes with one pouch.

Small Sutton would hold less than a Hayley but they're not really comparable because Smutton is so unstructured. It's surprisingly roomy but how well it works for you also depends on the shape of the items you're carrying. If you keep everything I pouches it's great! I love my Smuttons for their ease of carry and squooshiness.
I find the Metros to have more capacity than their Sutton counterparts. I believe that's due to the big square bottom on the Metros which makes them kind of cavernous. For me the Sutton carries more as a purse / duffle depending on whether the slips are done up or not, while the Metro carries like a tote. Sutton isn't quite as stuffable. Hard to describe the difference but there is one for sure. Medium Metro will give you a reasonable approximation of regular Sutton with its clips undone. Clips done up is a whole 'nother story.
No worries! How do you like the bag in that color? I was there so shortly I only looked for the amethyst bags and rushed out . I wish I would have had time to look longer.
I was just going to ask if it was glue...I had to scrape a little piece off my Roxy. I had the same concerns as you, but voila...just glue.
I really am hoping quality issues get resolved. The prices for a nylon bag are steep...especially when you don't wait til end of season for a big Sale. I don't typically mind, too much, paying for really good quality and the unique product they represent....but..what a disappointment to have to start wondering what me might be getting.
Well said Reba. I used to buy Prada thinking it was an investment in quality, but stains don't clean well from their nylon...after many years, I stumbled upon mzw on tpf and was lured in by their great designs, colors and ease of care. I'd be okay with some of their higher prices if the quality was maintained...unfortunately we are seeing proof of the contrary.
I agree. It's keeping me from paying the high prices for the new bags. Also unfortunately mzw CS is always lacking so it's a crap shoot if they will even help if a bag does fall apart before it should.
Small sutton and medium metro aren't really comparable, but I guess it would be a good test to see if you are ok with not having any pockets to put your stuff in, but keep in mind even though the small sutton is still a black hole it's a much smaller black hole. I love love love my metros and my small sutton. I actually do not love my large sutton or the medium sutton yet. I've had my large for years and I've used it less that 10 times. I bought a medium this spring and still haven't used it. When I need bigger than small sutton and I need to be hands free I usually go with the metro backpack (mostly when we are traveling or going to zoo/museum). I bought a small sutton in March and I've used it almost every single day since I got it. It's just so lightweight and I can squeeze a lot in there when I need to-- jackets, swell bottles. I also love my medium and large metros--- they hold a TON and are so lightweight. I use the medium as a daily tote/purse and love it. I agree with the previous poster that said even though the large sutton and medium metro are the same size when measured they don't feel that way because when the sutton is clipped down it takes away from the available space. I love the medium metro and have it in way too many colors, but I find them so easy to carry that I can't quit them.
ETA: Large metro comes with 3 pouches (I think large sutton comes with 3 pouches as well), I believe all other metros/suttons come with one pouch.
I finally called CS today because my email from Friday noting my disappearing points went unnoticed. Spoke to Lisa who is always so nice. When the Crosby store did the exchange on Friday it screwed up my points, and she needs IT to take a look at it and get back to me. I wouldnt care so much, but the GCs are being issued on Monday and im missing $36 worth of credit.
