Shoecrazy!
Firstly, sorry all the bags are going back. But if they don't check all the boxes then they shouldn't stay.

Pluster looks really nice. I was just complaining about despite my love of a great grey, it can be hard to find the right one. When greys are just a little off, it looks awkward to me. I might give pluster xbroxy a try if it hits advent.

Luna is an interesting print. I couldn't make it work, but I'm always happy when mzw tries a new and different print.

Nikki tote is a great shape and size! I agree, the chain leather looks nice in a large surface like Pippa, but not as nice when used as trim. Is the top zip that flappy zippergate thing or is the zipper flush to the sides? I can't quite tell from the pic. Does it feel big on the shoulder?

Hopefully advent will bring a few more new releases and you can find that just right style that checks all the boxes!

Thanks for all the pics and review :)

I agree nikki tote in a different color, plus not chain trim, will be a better option :). Just curious does the front exterior pocket has any extra slot?

Thank you [emoji253]View attachment 3486568

It's pretty good, in that the Black rarely goes on Sale. Special colors often get marked down.., and you can check their Sale section for great deals on them. But, the Black only when they run site-wide discounts like this one. The only better that you can do, I know around Christmas they offer 25% or 30% off everything..my friend bought her Black with gold hardware then.

Shoecrazy, I have a bag in Gunmetal Twill, which is almost a dupe for Platinum Luster. If it just does not appeal to you, that's fine; but.., if you think it doesn't go with your wardrobe... I find it incredibly versatile. I think it goes with everything, much like a basic black bag would. Which is why I like it so much..., when I tire of basic black in the dead of Winter, there's this. ...just a thought...

I think Luna looks pretty too. I can see how maybe that might not be as versatile though for sure. I like to look at...not sure if I would use day-to-day or not...

Thank you Reba. I'm now stuck between mini or regular black g/hw. I went to HB thread and saw pics of your lovely HB [emoji7]. I was all set on nylon but the canvas adds a nice texture too.

The nylon vs canvas...both are nice. Being MZ fans, we like nylon.., the canvas, my daughter actually picked out for my birthday last year.., and I was surprised at how much I really loved. The fabric is durable and feels good..not stiff in an uncomfortable way. And, a nice change from all the nylon... But, the nylon's great too. Size..I have some of both...I don't carry a ton.., but, maybe a bit more than 'just the basics' - and sometimes the Mini feels too small. The Regular size really isn't that large at all; but I am 5'8"..., you are much more petite. If you like, I could take side by side pics to show size difference - but, not for a bit - it's the wee hours of the morning...insomnia[emoji42]...great time to TPF..but hubby would [emoji379] me if I started taking pics of [emoji164][emoji162]...[emoji4]

Thank you for the great advice. I hope u have a sweet dream [emoji254][emoji207][emoji271]. Insomnia is like a bad cycle. It not only affect quality of sleep it also makes one feel tired during the awake moment. I have my moments of posting during odd hours (eg mzw advert one full month is bad for my sleep [emoji23]).

I'm either black nylon with gold hardware or black canvas. Although the fb plum/wine color looks gorgeous too but I don't see it on their website.

I'm 5'1-5'2 so rationally mini is better for me. But like what u said I've days I carry more too so eeep one mini and one regular seems inevitable [emoji12]

All the bags I ordered are going back, but here are a few quick photos and reviews.

Thank you for sharing! This confirms my desire to get Platinum Luster and also confirms Luna is not for me, however beautiful. Nikki Tote looks great and I'm glad to see the zipper is the Nikki type not the dreaded flap. Hope something else works for you!

Luv, can I ask why your Valhalla Brooklyn bag didn't work out?

Her bags' top and front zippers go in the opposite direction from what I need (not sure why?), which is a non-starter for me. I found the lining to be too thin and it slid around (one of my top pet peeves), and I was not pleased with the finish of some of the details - especially the handles. It has probably been 4-5 years though and of these things have likely improved. But I see the zipper direction is still the same. She will customize, but it's not worth it to me when I'm not in love anyway. She has some absolutely stunning leathers, though!

Purchased an EEUC Pacific Small Roxy. Decided I didn't want to invest in a full price one since this is a weekend bag. Pacific not my fave but has light lining and matches the weekend jeans/sweater uniform in most cases. I can deal. This means Platinum Luster Roxy will be my next MZ purchase. I keep looking at it...thinking about it...it will be mine, and if it's not love, I will return. Going to wait on another color for Nikki Tote.
