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

WOW, this is the first IRL and close up pics I have seen of Andi. you have me a little concerned now cause I have one coming in midnight.I appreciate your review of this bag. I find the bottom design a little odd and there are no feet on this bag? can it stand up on its own? could I trouble you to do a model pic and a loaded up pic?
Would like to see the handles as well as the shoulder strap. REALLY would appreciate it. i admit, I am very surprised, thus asking for as much info as you can share. I also have high hopes for this bag. I was thinking it would be a step up in size from baby Jane.

I am really sorry - I got it yesterday and packed it up to return this morning. I just took a few pics to post before sealing the box. I just dropped it off at UPS a while ago.
There are no feet on the bag and it cannot stand up on it's own (unless the bottom is completely full, I am guessing). I'm sorry I didn't get to take more pictures but the short handles are really beautiful. Size wise I would say it is as big as the Jackie (which is a smaller version of the Britt), only it is taller.

My best description of how it looks when loaded up - you know how you can add a long strap to some bags by hooking it on to the short handles (as opposed to hooking it on to the sides of the bag) and then it looks kind of uneven when carried? This is how it looks to me. It may be because I don't really carry a lot and whatever I carry weighs down that part of the bag, but I don't see this happening with bags that have flat bottoms.

I hope this helps!

Sorry to hijack how do u find the Clementine? How heavy is it? Close to belle? I'm drawn to bags with chain

Not heavy at all! I dont have a belle but have tried it on and the Clementine is much lighter. I have a Hayley and the clementine is much lighter. The chain is not as heavy as on the Penny. It's a pretty great bag

i did call the store and had modeling pics sent to me. it is not at all what i thought it would be. going to cancel my order on this one.

This is what I thought as well. I'm sure they will have something else interesting to offer though, so we can save our funds for when that comes along. I am hopeful that the Claire is a better fit for me.

Hipnycmom, thank you so much for the pictures and feedback. It is always so incredibly helpful to hear first-hand what people think of the bags!!

You're very welcome! I haven't had a chance to be on the forum much or post stuff but I always appreciate the help I get on here so I am happy when I can post anything that is useful to others as well. Having to mail things back is such a bummer.

Just received the cocoa bedford Claire and it is beautiful!! I really wish it had a crossbody strap but the strap drop isn't bad and the bag is gorgeous. It's a really good medium-sized bag. I love the color and the suede accent down the middle.

Tried uploading some images but am not able to for some reason

oh, hope you can post some pics. I looked carefully at the claire and thought, umm, like that, but again, no shoulder strap.
Congrats and enjoy the new bag

Let's see if this works

 

[hipnycmom]

So there's the Claire. Sorry about the background. I couldn't get good light other than right by the window. Anyway, good strap drop can comfortably be worn over a coat

Plus it stands on it's own. These pics dont do it justice

oh thank you so much almost perfect bag, wish it had a shoulder strap. really like it, might go for the moto one. ps. like the lucite chair.

 

[hipnycmom]

Thank you! We have the same criteria. I haven't bought a bag without a long strap in a while but I think this one is worth it.

Beautiful pics, hipnycmom! I wonder what other colors Claire will be released in! Does this fit a laptop easily, you think? Like a 13 inch.

I do know Claire is on the web page in black moto with studs. that is the other color. there is Julie and Claire. two different sizes. one has a cross body strap , the larger one.
