LIP: Should I get this MZ Wallace bag?

[cransplash]

I've been on the fence about which MZ Wallace bag to pick up. I know I want some color since most of my clothes are pretty neutral. I'm also looking for one that is a good purse that can also double as a medium cross-body for traveling.

I really like this color (red/cayenne), and the size is great for what I need it for (11" h, 6" w, 8" d). The only concern I have are the 2 straps in the front- I'm wondering if it'd be a pain to have to constantly "pull through" the front pockets... not that I'd need to every time, but still.

I think I would be in the same predicament. The size, straps, and color are great. That shade of red is actually more versatile than one would think. But I think I would get annoyed with the pull-through straps too. Have you looked at it in person? That would be the way that I would decide. If you loved it on your shoulder, then I would say yes.

I don't have an MZ Wallace store anywhere near me It looks great on that girl in the link- she looks petite and so am I. The other MZ Wallace bags have the zippered exterior pockets, which I think would be easier/more efficient, but then I wonder if I'll really "need" to pull the straps through?

I did it- I pulled the plug and (so far) I don't hve buyer's remorse!

I missed the update on this. I was going to suggest emailing and asking what the intern's height was, just to give you an better idea of the size.

Now that you've ordered it, you'll see in person. Can you return if you don't love it?

I bet you'll love it. I see what you mean about pulling the straps through but it's probably not that big of a deal. I'm trying to go to the site but it won't let me right now. Other than the strap does the bag have a zipper to close the main compartment? to me that is the most important. I used a bag like this for my china travels and while it's doable without the zipper closure, I definitely wished it zipped shut because I felt like my stuff wasn't as secure.

315- since it is final sale, I don't think I can return it, but I think I am going to love it,

Misshark- I don't think it had a zipper top closure. I really wish it did. Sigh- now I hope I don't regret it!

I used the hell out of my bag like that though and nothing ever fell out or was stolen!
