New Downtown Crosby Tote:  or the "totsby"

New "Uptown" Jane

Thompson 2 tone

And the coveted Micro Crosby:  the most upscale home your phone will ever have !!  I ordered this one on the 19'th and it is already being shipped.  Wow.  

This little will Micro Crosby will pop into a tote to pull out at lunchtime or in the suitcase for keeping the phone, passport, and credit cards close to your heart.

@dex The easiest way is to set up an account at mzwallace.com, sign up for the e-mails, and you can get free shipping and accrue points. Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and Saks feature the bags online, but in Northern California, no stores near me carry them (Sacramento area). You can see presentations on MZ Wallace/ facebook and on youtube. HTH. Big sales will come up during the holiday season. A lot of gals sell them on e-Bay too.  MZ Wallace has a little section there. 

If you have shoulder issues and want something light, but still want urban chic, this is the line for you.  There is sticker shock, but waiting for sales pays off, and if you factor in cost per wearing, an expensive everyday bag becomes worth it.

@hicindy2 Thanks so much for all the info.I took a look and love those bags.Yes the price is high but I think that they look very well made and timeless.

Received the e-mail:  last day to shop summer styles.  The one that captured my interest was the Jordan in Dahlia.  Maybe it will show up in the holiday event. I just can't pay the full price. 

Hoping for a small Belle in a deeper color.

Hi @hicindy2 & @dex,

I went to Bloomies to see a few of the new styles in person. New to me was the Crosby tote which I like a lot. Also, saw a couple of Thompson bags which are gorgeous. The nubuck touches are beautiful but I kind of wish they had used a different leather treatment. The leather wrapped handles are a lovely contrast.

They had lots of Dawn bags...Dawn laquer, Small Abbey Tote and Crossbody. They also had exclusivee to Bloomies Navy / Black colorblock laquer Metros and Suttons

Night Garden bags were also lovely and Acorn Marlena backpack was beautiful. The only time I've been tempted by Marlena.

The one color that just seems out of place this season is Dusty Rose. It's very pretty but really is more of a spring color.

I can only get one so all of you who have seen these bags in person...please help me decide.

[hicindy2]

@foo foo shi shi  Oh thanks so much for the "live" report.

The Marlena is urban chic in the Acorn for sure !!

 Also, the shiny Black: how very luxe

 

 That new Downtown Crosby looks like such a winner.

My Little Micro will be here on Tuesday.  I ordered on the first day (Sept. 19'th).  Now the ship date is Oct. 15'th. perfect for Girl's Night Out that I go to every Monday.

This is what I did to pick my first MZW without being able to see any of them.  Put everything that you carry every day on the kitchen table.  Then pick a bag that you already have, put it all in there, then take measurements of said bag.  Then decide what handle style that you like best (shoulder length, crossbody, satchel style), then work backwards reviewing the bag's dimensions and pick a neutral to go with everything since it is your "one bag" and pick the hardware you favor (I prefer silver), but the gold on the Dawn is great.

Then read all the reviews on that bag that are posted. And ask us here if we have this bag already. We just might !!

Also, a lot of the MZW forum girls sell on eBay regularly.  You might want to check NWT bags for your first foray. I am a chicken when it comes to eBay. 

My first bag was the popular Paige.  I got mine through Nordstroms, so I could easily return it locally. I am short (5'2"). so I can't carry a BIG bag. 

Nordie's also carries this MZW "starter" bag in Dawn for under $200.  Bloomies and Nordies will often let you accrue points.

I will probably get this bag when I cash in my points (from previous MZW purchases) on Nov. 1'st. And don't forget with the MZW site:

 I like the saturated color and the sleek lines.  And the dog tag !!

DESCRIPTION

The streamlined Jordan Crossbody features two exterior zippered pockets and a surprisingly roomy center zip to hold just enough for a handsfree day of travel, errands, or a night out. In Dawn Bedford with custom MZ Wallace gold hardware.
