Opinions on MZ Wallace Bags

is that the jackie or the britt in this photo? thanks!

It is Britt.

is the jackie smaller than the britt/ I don't work so I don't need a professional looking bag, but I won the gunmetal, will hold onto it for now cause there are too many on the bay now.

I think I like that satellite too but this is also a bag I would love quilted framed with leather. who posted pics of one? or, now that I'm remembering, I think t was a black quilted Frida. so sharp looking. Might go for it if it was available in the black with silver hdw.

The Jackie is smaller than the britt. It's like a mini-britt.

Hi all,

Report on the Jane tote...it is going back. It is cute, but not better than Jane for me. It is smaller in total capacity and heavier. It is not too too heavy, but just heavy enough not to be worth it for me.

I am really busy this weekend, so will do a more thorough comparison with some pics next week.

Also -- there is no Plum in the black version. I think the Plum trim note in the description is an error. The black is Black with Black trim -- the classic MZW black with shiny black leather, red interior and gold hw.

Ok, here are some additional pics of the Jane tote - I hope these are helpful, sorry I don't have another MZW for comparison purposes. It's such a pretty bag, hopefully these do it justice! The first picture is the bag without anything in it.

The interior is really, really roomy - and light! I'm going off of memory here but I think it's pretty similar to Jane, in terms of weight.

The iPad 2 (with a keyboard/cover) fits in a zippered compartment very nicely, with lots of room to spare. I wasn't able to get the iPad to fit through the opening horizontally. I can also fit my agenda in this compartment.

The main compartment fits all sorts of goodies. Here I have a 1.5" binder, 13" laptop, a smaller textbook, and a notepad. The only downside is that the top won't clasp together when it is packed this full, but the bag held its shape nicely.

1.5" binder in the main compartment standing vertically. Fits just fine, except the clasp (button? whatever, you know what I mean) won't shut, sadly only about half an inch taller would make it work.

Side view of the tote filled with laptop, textbook, binder and notepad. I'm really surprised at how much it will hold, because when it is empty it really doesn't look huge at all!

Let me know if there's an angle that would be helpful for you - this is my first MZW bag, so in that regard I am absolutely in love! The drop length of the handles is perfect - hugs the body, just like Jane. Having the top open may not work for me, but I am going to keep playing around with it.

Ooh, thanks for the pics! I don't have to post mine now, lol! I found it to be heavy...glad that you love it though. I am sticking with original Jane.

oh, if I was a working woman I would stick with that Fiona. I think it is just gorgeous! pic when you use it please.

I certainly will! If the weather cooperates, I will break out the Fiona this week.

Hi, I am new here and checking out MZ Wallace bags. I realize this is an old thread but can't seem to find a new one on the bags. If someone could help I would appreciate it. I'd also like to join the FB group. I will be traveling and trying to find certain bags that are harder to find now. Thanks so much!

Oh, I'm all over the map on what I want/need. Curious about a Tribeca bag if I can find one I can afford, in a more understated color or black with metallic. Also considering Hayley, but would prefer gold hardware as I have a trench with gold buttons and will use it as my day to day bag traveling. I also saw a berry quilted City Tote on Ebay but it is too expensive right now and the stitching has come lose on the MZ logo-also wondering if it is just too huge as I will be using a Lilpault Paris 15 or 19 inch tote for my laptop on the plane-I think! Unless one of the MZ Wallaces will work. I like the small metro, but the strap is short and the medium looks huge! SO confused. I have a back/hip disability and a bag must work for me in terms of heaviness, even though I carry a reasonable amount. Thanks again! Won't post more now as I don't know if I am posting in the correct place. But it seems I have to post five times in five days to be able to PM or start a new thread somewhere. NEW to the purse forum.
