Yes! Please info on Coco. I also have a lot of hope for this bag. Pics would also be great. Thank you!
Hi! I will try to post some pics tomorrow. Taking her out in the city. I did a thorough examination tonight but have not carried for a long period yet. Initial thoughts: very lightweight, which I love. Shoulder strap stays put: hooray!! Very roomy gusseted front pocket. Nice sized back zip pocket. Fits an ipad in main compartment, which is a must for me. I am practically married to my ipad. Main compartment will also fit large wallet and a few other items. I will try to post a "what it holds" post this week.

More later!

Thank you. Have been looking at this one trying to figure it out. Love Black Moto. Is it due in any other colors too?....and, I know you have mentioned you are not much of a crossbody girl, but, if you were, what do you think of new crossbody strap, and does bag feel too big to carry that way or is it just perfect? 😊...I keep updating ?'s, sorry, but, you mentioned fitting an ipad, the MZW measurements would make this bag an inch shorter than Paige, same length and 1.5 wider...that being said, how real are their measurements (12lx9hx4.5w)? Thank you.

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.
Luv all, would like to hear your take on the naked zippers. is the hardware sturdy? I was surprised to not see tabs on this bag but I can see it is a streamlined bag, so get it, just want to know how large and functional those zipper pulls are. thanks!!
 
It's nice that there is another PhD student who is a handbag lover. All my colleagues make fun of me for having so many bags lol. I am almost done too...one more year hopefully!! Handbags are a stress reliever for sure :p


Congrats and good luck! Yes, there are not many bag fanatics on my campus! Most are carrying backpacks or messengers...I need some kind of fashionable outlet of expression, so bags and shoes it is!

The naked zippers do not bother me...the zippers are pretty large on this one. No tabs needed.

Not sure about colors. I can measure it tomorrow...it is big enough to hold an ipad with room leftover. Feels larger than Paige to me. Feels closer to Baby Jane in capacity. It does not feel too large to carry cross-body. Seems like that would work well. The new cross-body strap is wide and seems comfortable, however I will likely not use it. I love the shoulder strap. Carried today and it did not fall off once!

Glad to hear you are enjoying! No shoulder slipping--that's great! I did find an old post from someone saying it was coming out in Bourdeux. I am limiting myself to one new this Fall...maybe this one in Bourdeux, I have another bag in Moto...just going to wait to see Espresso before I decide...thanks for sharing details...helps me make a good choice.
 
For anyone interested in the Bordeaux color, which will come out in August, the styles available will be Lizzy, Coco, Cleo, Hayley, Penny, Frankie, Kate, and Jane. The color is very similar to the Claret color but richer according to Julianne from MZ Wallace. Looks like they brought back an oldie style the Coco!


FYI - -Here is Lanine's post, which I referred to...
 
Hi everyone, new here =) I've been obsessing over MZ wallace bags for awhile now (yet to buy one). How do I find FOTH facebook page? when I search for them it doesn't come up and if someone has a link it will just go to my home feed =( Is it because I'm not from the usa?

Nordies prices are a bit expensive =(

It is called Flat of the Hill and it is in boston.
 
FYI...I own a Lesportsac Kate Sig...it is very similar to a MZW Penny, minus the chain strap, and slightly roomier. Very comfortable and sooo light. It is marked down right now on Zappos. Not trying to enable shopping...but saving! It really is a great lightweight casual that you might want to check out...
