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

[Stella Blue]

I have seven MZW bags, but I've only been collecting for about a year and a half. I wish I was brave enough to buy and sell, because it's one way of keeping down the cost of buying new bags. But I've never sold anything on ebay. I use all of the bags except one khaki colored 'vintage' Cara (or was it Clara?) which was a big mistake (heavy, bad color). My fave is a Thunder Bailey with a quartz braided tassel.

Thunder Bailey with Quartz tassel sounds gorgeous!

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.

14 does not seem terrible when it is almost all your bags. I feel guilty with how many I have because I like many brands. I did get rid of a lot this year but not any of my Mz's. I enjoy rotating my bags too and it is my only vice.

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.

Theres nothing wrong with keeping your bag total low. I hope to have less one day and love each and everyone. I really like what I have now but there are a few that need to get used or go ,no matter how pretty they are.

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.

I'm with you I mostly do dark neutrals with very few brights. I don't do prints other then LV .

I am a little uncomfortable with the number. I really don't like clutter. Every time I go through them with the mindset of thinning out, I have a reason for almost every one that I should keep... I will try again soon...

I have about 20 mzw give or take now. And I feel like I've gone from the "first" to "gotta buy em all" to "will i wear this enough to justify cost?" I've downsized a bit.

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

Platinum Luster Roxy Crossbody. I love the style but haven't found the color that works for me yet. I liked the platinum luster color a lot, but it doesn't really go with my wardrobe that well. It's a lovely medium gray - similar to marcasite but without any purple undertones. It shines less than it appeared to in the MZW lookbook or product photos, which in my mind makes the color more appropriate for the casual bag style. I'd have been tempted to keep this if I were more into grays.

Luna Roxy Crossbody. The moment I saw this bag I knew there was no way I could pull this off. It has a major Vera Bradley vibe on me, though I'm sure others can pull it off. Someone posted gorgeous pictures in the MZW Facebook group of the print in direct sunlight, but indoors, the colors are a bit dull.

Nikki Tote - Black Bedford Chain. This style has a lot of promise, but I'd like to see it in a different color and wasn't so into the chain print leather. I really like how it looks over the shoulder. I could squeeze my 13" mac book pro in a sleeve in horizontally, but just barely. It wasn't an easy fit like my Jane. Part of the problem is that the zipper track gets in the way, so you don't have access to the full width of the bag. I'm looking forward to this bag in other colors, though I really wish they'd change the zipper or make it an inch wider.

I bought the Roxy Camera bag in the Platinum Luster and love it. For those afraid of the bag, there is no special compartment that makes it specific to cameras, I think it is more the shape.

Really intrigued by the Nikki tote.

It's a great bag and does not get too heavy

I saw Nikki tote today. Straps were just long enough to go over my coat. Forget who asked, but it has the same zipper as a Nikki, with the gaps on each side

The pictures of the bedford that I've seen on facebook look so much better. Maybe even on a bigger bag like medium metro, but not on small sutton IMO.

I was in their store on Thursday and I saw the Luna print in the small Roxy. I loved the print. I have to admit the "moth parts" didn't bother me as it seemed more abstract to me. I wear mostly solid colors and the print colors would go with them. However, I was worried about "downsizing" from a regular Roxy to a small. In the end, I purchased a small Abbey tote in pine instead (with pine tassel). Gorgeous shade of green. I might pick up the Luna during a sale or maybe Santa will give me one.

I saw the butterfly print metro print from a couple of years ago that way, but it still came across pretty. Luna on small sutton came across dull and looked like paisley or some other random pattern.

Ordered Platinum Luster Roxy. Pics when she arrives! I am now officially banned from any more gray bags. I went from zero to three. At least they are different sizes and this one is metallic-ish.

Still carrying LaRoxy bc it is so great for work. Keep meaning to switch but haven't yet. Laziness wins.

Yay for pluster! I'm hoping to get one during advent.

Luv, laroxy is a great work bag. You're not lazy, you're efficient. Hypothetically, if you switch bags you'll likely switch back to laroxy so you save all that energy by staying in laroxy. Smells efficient to me!
