I'm feeling a bit of shopping fatigue at the moment. Seems as though many of my recent purchases have just spun into hassles -- my leather metro tote needed to go back because of a broken zipper, one of two protein shake bottles I ordered has a faulty gasket and it leaks -- the vendor isn't responding to my request for a replacement/return authorization, my recent snowboard boot fitting has to be redone because one of the footbeds was folded over inside the heat-moldable linings (that'll require a 1.5 hour drive back to the shop)...

With all the recent quality issues at MZW and their shipping delays, I'm just not feeling the buzz. But maybe they will lure me out of this funk. If not, it's all good - a penny saved...

I have been having this sort of week too. Not with mz but with gifts I ordered for others . I think it is almost straightened out now. I hope!

I was tempted but I really do need a hands free crossbody strap option for when I'm stooping down to pick up toddlers and don't want bag coming off my shoulder and bopping them in the head.
Baby Jane would be nice but my coco is kind of same size.

Do you all store your mz wallaces stuffed? I do but small roxy is such a big square and hogs a lot of space. do you think it would look warped or get funky if stored her flat?

I store little ones empty or stuffed, usually with their dust bag, and put them inside bigger bags. Haven't had issues with corners being permanently squished and wrinkled or anything.

Hello,

Do any of you happen to know if the Metro totes are machine washable? How durable is the fabric? Thank you!

I machine wash my suttons pretty regularly. The leather zipper tag gets extra wear in the machine without a laundry bag but I smooth them out before it air dries and it's just fine. Don't know if Metro's zippers are the same.

When the bag is visibly dirty, washing it in a laundry bag did not get it off, but washing it out of the bag worked great.

I have been fanatical about stuffing my bags. But, funny you mention Small Roxy and not stuffing...I took on a trip and packed flat...realized how this is such an advantage of this style. It doesn't effect the bag at all. Kept that one unstuffed when I got home, and plan to do the same with my two others [emoji106]

Hello hello!

Several years ago I purchased an Lizzy in the black camo and it become one of my all-time favorite bags.

This past weekend I found a Roxy Crossbody in the amethyst color (dark purple is my favorite color) on sale so I grabbed it. However...I'm feeling kind of...underwhelmed? The quality just seems a bit cheaper than the Lizzy, especially with the metal details and the zipper pulls.

Is the Roxy meant to be a simpler design than the Lizzy? I know the MSRP is much less, even though the size is comparable. I'm just on the fence now about keeping it. :huh:

Do you have a Bea? I think that one really needs to be stuffed to keep the pleats nice.

I stuff most of the bags that have an actual flat base and hang or store the others flat. Mia, for example, would be a disaster stuffed.
