Thanks for the explanation, luv! I don't mind weight so much since I drive from suburbs to university parking lot and short jaunt inside. When with my kids I just take woc with me because anymore than that and I'm totally burdened(I wear the 14 month old 29lb girl and need to lift the even heavier bigger girl in and out of car and shopping cart seats so bag stays in car unless there's a poop diaper situation).
Sans kids the frankie is perfect and I drive so weight is fine and I can even ball up my jacket or cardigan and stash it in there if sitting in close quarters in a stuffy room, frankie is like a Mary poppins carpet bag magical thing!
I actually have a leather bag with almost every single detail the same as frankie and it is lighter in weight, so I guess frankie isn't a feather. But then again the leather bag is crazy light (but an unstructured puddle and I adore how frankie stands up just the same empty as full!!!).
Same here. I drive around all day too. My Frankie goes from home to car to home. I use the pouch it came with to bring into stores. I attach it to my wristlet/keychain.
Frankie is perfect for me. Each pocket has a purpose. I know where everything is and finally feel organized. Yes, it is heavy, but I am not carrying her around anywhere for long periods of time. We need this in more colors please!
 
I was wondering how many Mz bags we have. In my head I always thought I had about six. It turns out I have ten plus a leather ink studded pouch/clutch. I am a fan of a lot of brands and I rotate my bags quite often. Does it surprise you how many you have or are you selling as you acquire new ones.

I don't have a lot of brands.., pretty much down to MZ Wallace, Henri Bendel, and two bags from a German company. In addition, I do have a couple of occasion clutches. The rest I have sold. There are a few other bags that I use..Kate Spade, Rebecca Minkoff..., but they are really my daughter's that are not being used. I have sold MZ's along the way. Some because I tired of the color, some because I over bought too many of one style, and some the style was one I just didn't reach for in my everyday life. I currently have 14 MZ's [emoji51]. There are a couple that are in that "haven't been reaching for" category - will have to see. Maybe time to go? But, mostly I constantly am rotating my bags. Love to change them according to outfit, use, where I am headed. It's just fun to me.

I'm always buying and selling. Bad :( I think it's high time for me to stop my crazy cycle. I now have 2 keeper mzw and 3 to sell. I have a few from other brands. My fav is Longchamp, Lesportsac, LV and Mzw. Maybe Henri Bendel soon but I just realised for HB I'll need to buy via email CS or via freight forwarder conceige service. I try to keep my bag total low but it's hard. I keep a log so it bugs me when I don't use certain bags often or have too many bags listed.

Small sutton in luna arrived and it's not love for me. It's too many small moth parts and doesn't show a full moth. Big miss for me which is sooooo disappointing. It definitely had potential, but it would have needed to be full moths rather than a bunch of small parts.

The fabric is made up of many small parts of moth? I always assume fabric is complete moth. But depending on the start and end of the design the moth may not show fully.

I keep staring at it and yeah it seems the pattern has some full moths, but other than that they just took moth part images and put them all together into one big print. IDK. In the past they've done some prints that were the same for everyone and I think that's much smarter. It guarantees perfect placement rather just luck of the draw. Butterfly and the nordstrom exclusive floral were all the same placement. This years mother's day tote was different for everyone (mistake IMO) and some ppl had great placement and others didn't.

Cosmic and Pink Lava were like this...hit or miss...disappointing. Sorry this wasn't a win for you. It had such potential!

I don't have a lot of brands anymore...MZW, 4 Longchamp leather bags, some Massaccesi, and my 3 Reed Krakoff Fighter Satchels ([emoji173]️). I also like Bendel a lot and will eventually get a backpack and satchel.

I hover around 30 MZ's...[emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]. Most are Janes, Frankies and Roxy styles. A few are strictly summer colors, IMO, but most are year-round darker colors. I have a few beloved oldies in different styles or the occasional style that I bought because the color is amazing. I also have a few Small Metros - the Smetro in the old size is my fave style of the Metro totes. Re: colors...with a few bright exceptions (Poppy Roxy, River Frankie), all of mine are dark neutrals or dark purple. I tend not to do prints except accessories.

Sorry it's not working for you. Maybe once returned call one of the stores that carry and ask if they can send you one showing a full moth...I think it's a gorgeous print and love the contrasting lining. Lots of potential and I'm not one to do prints but I think I could make an exception for Luna.

Do you think it might present prettier in the Bedford fabric?
