Can anyone chime in on a MZ Wallace handbag?

[sewarsh]

So, I REALLY need a new zipper tote.
My 13-month-old Tory Burch zip tote shoulder strap broke 2 weeks ago (POS!!!)
Since then i've been using a regular snap tote.
However about 1 week ago, my wallet went missing for 2 days - it fell out of my bag while laying on a bench at a restaurant.
Needless to say, I need a ZIPPER!

I need the tote part because I don't carry a diaper bag anymore but have baby stuff.
I love the MZ Wallace bags, but we're talking about $400 after tax for a vinyl bag. The reviews are amazing but it just seems like so much money to me for a non-leather bag. Reviews say the quality is great, hardware and straps excellent, etc.

So are they worth it!??!

I don't know but a friend of mine has one and I just love them. It is so cute and seems to have held up well because she has been carrying it for a few years. I have a hard time paying so much for a non leather bag but they really are so cute!

Can't comment on MZ Wallace but I did want to share that Coach Outlet has 50% of bags right now. I got this zip top tote this weekend for $120: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Green-Gallery-Leather-Handbag-F19456-New-Tags-Retail-378-/261174833604?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3 D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D5846953071723647188%26pid%3 D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D261174833604% 26

Great feel on and very nice leather.

Obsessed with MZ Wallace. I have the brown Jane for work and the black Kate as my kids everyday bag. I use the zippered pouch as my wallet (love how it attaches) and now I just switch it to whatever bag I am carrying. I love the Belle and will probably get that for the summer in one of the blues - probably Indigo. They had a ton on sale last month. It's too bad they pulled all those from their website. It might be worth a call to see when the next sale will be. The green, gray and plum from last season were awesome colors.

How do you find out about the sales?

[Kindra178]

I just happened upon a sale section on their website. That sale section is no longer there. I have heard that if you call the individual stores you may learn about sales and discounted products at the stores. They can ship something directly to you. I didn't get either of my bags on sale (one at Nordstrom with a gc and one from them directly).

Although it seems crazy to pay that much for a non leather bag, it is actually better that the bag is not leather because it is so much lighter. I just can't explain how awesome/useful these bags are.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!
I called the customer # online and they took my info and sent it to a sales rep in one of the stores. The sales rep emailed me right away and within 2 hours I purchased my very first MZW! I got Jane, just the bag I wanted, in Forest Green. It was on sale for $213!! (originally $355) Much better! Clearly its a winter color, but hopefully it will be fine for Summer as well.

FWIW I asked the online rep and she said they have sales 2x a year. Typically around Winter (just happened) and mid-Summer.

Kudos to M Z Wallace customer service. I wasn't sure I'd ever hear from anyone let alone that fast. My bag is shipping today! So excited!!

Awesome. You going to love, love, love it. It will be super useful.

You will not be disappointed. I love my MZ Wallace bags - super lightweight and so easy to clean the outside. I have leather bags which have seen no light of day since I started carrying MZW.

Big sales happen twice a year and seasonal colors go on sale throughout the year once the season has passed. Get on the mailing list and like the FB page- they are very good about giving subscribers first access.

They are more interesting looking, IMO, than many other bags out there - a bit more unique than bags anyone can buy in the mall. I get lots of compliments on mine.

Thanks Kindra. Glad to hear it already worked. I love lightweight bags and need one for an upcoming trip. I will call CS tomorrow. :)

Congrats on your deal Sewarsh. I'm excited for you!

I've been lusting after these bags for the past few months. I'm loving the new green color!

You will be so happy with it!
I love my navy bianca bag... lightweight but can hold a lot, and can be worn over the shoulder, on the arm or as a cross body bag. I use it a TON more than the Kate Space and Coach leather bags I have. I loved it so much I asked for a metro tote for Christmas (which is a tote but less of an everyday purse). Quality is very high!
