Funny because I am a PhD student and absolutely love MZW for work bags. I think the market tote would fit the bill for a PhD student but at the same time, I don't think anyone should be carrying around 70 pounds on their shoulder.

hee hee- too true! I just meant that a bag designed to carry that weight would probably handle the computer, notebooks, binders, etc. that my sis lugs around (not always all together of course!)
What bag to you use to haul around your laptop on a daily basis gurlsaved?

Trust me, sometimes I probably carry 70 pounds worth of stuff between my laptop, ipad, books for me, books for students, brick to hit myself when I am contemplating why I chose to go to school for 10 years
I usually carry two bags with me. I've actually used the Jane for a year straight and it held my laptop, ipad, some folders and my various cords. I would use a second bag (like an everyday purse) to carry all my other stuff like wallet, planner, phone, cosmetics, etc.
But I'm noticing that I am overstuffing my Jane since it is starting to form some holes at the bottom (AH!). So I switched to the Belle but have only used it twice so far (in summer I don't need to carry as much anyways). I think the Belle or Kate would work great for what I carry around. But I would still probably carry a second bag because I also just love carrying purses =)
Kate-
For those of you who have the kate. … do you love it?
I have a Saphire Belle which I carry for work.
I am going on a trip to NYC and want to bring one bag that I an carry everyday. A large tote type bag that I can fit a large wallet, iPad, 2 pairs of sunglasses, cosmetic case, sneakers and running shoes. Is it too big to also use as a large purse. Any thoughts?

I have their ap on my phone. If you get it, you can click on quick and check from time to time. Somehow their stock pops up with stragglers. Good luck on your search for a New York travel bag!
Does anyone have a travel wallet that they love? Doesn't have to be mzw, just want something that is light and small to use when traveling.
Bought the black Coco today...I LOVE it! It is the medium sized MZW that I have been hoping and wishing for. The Baby Jane is good for some things, but it is not perfect for me. This is so much better. I will report back with more info once I have used it a bit.
I also saw the Julie today. It is pretty but huge. Too big for me as a tote.

I used Kate as my only bag for 4 months straight, so I don't find it too burdensome. It only got to be too much when I was trying to stuff it to capacity! I think it will slouch nicely if you don't overstuff it. It doesn't seem to weigh anymore than Belle when empty.
I really like how deep the outside pockets are designed. If it can fit a bottle of wine, then it definitely hold a water bottle and travel coffee mug. I like the blue, but wish it also came out in the forest green they proposed.
Yes! Please info on Coco. I also have a lot of hope for this bag. Pics would also be great. Thank you!
Don't have one of their travel wallets, but check out Leatherology.com. They have such functional items. Or, if you need water/kid-friendly, maybe good ole' Lesportsac? Happy shopping.
