MZ Wallace Large Pippa | Why I am returning it + review + try on

[@jennyteves3520]

I have this bag in classic black. I love mine. I bought it because I wanted to declutter and bring less stuff-wallet, keys, tissue, alcohol, mask, airpods, pen, lipstick, vaxx card-and be able to find everything. It is not meant to hold a lot. The mesh strap is for crossbody, the thin leather and the wrapped metal are meant as shoulder options and not really for crossbody.

[@HelloHappyMom]

Thanks for the info Jenny, I appreciate it! I'm glad you are enjoying yours!

[@DazzleMe77]

Thanks so much for this video. I was just considering. I’m with you….packed it’s not the most appealing looking bag. I appreciate this so much!! TFS🩷🫶🏽✨

[@brendahailey5665]

Thank you so much for your honest review! It was not great and you were spot on and still gracious 😊

[@HelloHappyMom]

Aw thank you Brenda ❤️❤️❤️

[@skipaway13]

This is soooooo helpful! Thank you! Love how it looks empty but no way full and after that amount of money im not going to be a minimalist

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hi Katie! thanks for watching! I agree!

[@mpandrade1970]

Thanks for the videos and honest opinion on the Pippa. I struggled with wether to buy it or not. So I went ahead and decided to buy it and I absolutely love it but I do not pack it as you have it. It does look awkward and just weird with all you have in it. I don’t think that was MZ’s Intentions with this bag to be over stuffed. It is not your typical cross body bag. Its not meant to be packed like you would your normal MZ Wallace Sutton or Metro which I have. This is a beautiful bag and have worn it out and gotten so many compliments on it. One of my dearest friends has the LV Coussin which is gorgeous, which this bag seems to mimic and mine looks so much better stuffed as I have it. But agree it’s a beautiful bag. And the straps are stunning. Thanks for the video. It helped a lot in my decision making.

[@HelloHappyMom]

You're so welcome. I am so happy that you're enjoying your bag! That's the beauty of handbags, there is always something great out there for someone! I love love MZ, they're bags are some of my favs for sure! I also saw the LV coussin, its also so pretty!

[@lindseyg303]

Thank you so much for this review!!! I was really liking this bag but I did have reservations because I wasn’t sure how it would look full. I’m not a minimal packer so this definitely wouldn’t work for me. I really appreciate this review!

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hey Lindsey! You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@MssAshley284]

Thank you for your honest review. Saved me from buying this, cute color, and design when flat but I agree, not doable.

[@HelloHappyMom]

You are so welcome!

[@lakni3]

Thank you for sharing and giving your honest feedback. I haven’t tried Pippa, but I know there are many mzw Pippa lovers out there. I think you have to pack it VERY minimal, and I’ve wondered if the regular size is better suited for that than the large. I also don’t get the price point on the large. I’ve heard there are more Pippa colors coming this year, so I’m waiting to try the regular Pippa in a color I love

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hey girl! I know people love it, and that makes me happy! I always say there is a perfect bag out there for everyone, and it won’t always be the same one I love. The price point on this bag (in my opinion) is way too high. Comparable styles on their site are way less, so that’s a bit confusing. I’d love to know your thoughts if you snag one !

[@abijahalston]

Cool 😎💖

[@dw8910]

I have it in black and love it. It holds much but isn't meant to haul tons (if that makes sense). I can totally understand your points and opinions. Try the new Mia, it is amazing.

[@HelloHappyMom]

Ah thank you so much for the recommendation! I will totally check out the Mia! Thank you!

[@abijahalston]

😆🤭Thanks for the vid! Gurllll...I had these same exact concerns! I was thinking about doing the same thing with the leather strap because I dont care for the cotton strap....I notice the models on the MZ website were'nt wearing the bag as crossbody so that ⚠️ cautioned me... my second concern was how the bag would look when packed...bulky...🧐😵 so I don't feel bad about NOT getting it. I got another Sling.. the Sunflower 🌻and a Small Max. Thanks for the 🎥 😊

[@HelloHappyMom]

Glad I am not alone in my concerns! I bet your sunflower sling is adorable! and I love the small Max, enjoy!

[@nataliejiaravanont6514]

Totally agree about the price point and the straps! 😣 The leather AND the white metal leather straps are pretty much a waste. Only the cotton caramel and white strap is really useful ~ which gives it more a casual/sporty look. I did choose my flattest pouches for this bag to make sure not to bulk up the bag and actually that worked out for me (Dagne Dover pouch & LV mini pouchette). I’m thinking of getting a long vachetta leather strap for it, and a gold chain to dress it up. It will end up being EVEN more expensive, but I love that it is light weight and I do like the accordion style, plus it does hold a good amount! It’s for sure not a mommy-for-kids bag! More just for mom and a couple of small items for kids. My kids are 7 and 8 yo so they don’t need as much stuff!

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hey Natalie, thanks so much for the tips, great idea using the smaller pouches! I appreciate your feedback!

[@sarahbkbear]

This is the honest review I’ve been waiting on. Your dislikes are the things I was most worried about! Looks like I’ll be saving my points for something else! Thanks!

[@HelloHappyMom]

Thanks for watching Sarah! Sad this didn't work out for me :(

[@stephaniesites5119]

That's too bad because I bought the Fall purple and feel the exact same way. If it was empty, perfect but filled it does lose the pretty shape

[@eb8791]

Oh wow. That’s a truly crazy price and for it to look hideous when packed is even crazier.

[@xoxo.eirenB]

I drooled a little bit when I saw the phone case! 🤤 may i know where’d you get it? Thanks! 🙏

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hi there! its a Wali Case! you can find them on IG :)

[@kimberlyburleson7526]

Hey! Thanks for the review! I'm waiting on mine to be delivered. I wonder if you didn't use pouches if it would help? I'm a pouch packer too, but plan to use all the pockets as pouches instead. Maybe give it a try before you return. 😊

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hi Kim! Thanks so much for the suggestion. I did try it once more before I let it go and I just can't get it to work for me. I hope you love yours and it works for you! let me know!

[@mariaballesteros835]

Where is your phone case from?!

[@HelloHappyMom]

It’s a Walli case!

[@angelspace26]

omg!!! 😂 It looks terrible!! I’m so happy I saw your video I really thought this bag was perfect but it really does look ridiculous when you put your stuff in it. It’s like carrying a pillow folded with a strap 😂 Loved your review btw. Thanks!!

[@kayla4702]

It reminds me a large version of a Kipling pouch which doesn't translate well for an standalone bag.

[@HelloHappyMom]

Kayla, yes! you're so right ! I knew I had seen it somewhere!

[@coxmommyof2]

Oh wow it does look really bad packed up. To have all that space and not be able to use it if you wanted it look like that. Appreciate you honest feedback.

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hi there, ya I agree. If I have lots of room in a bag I tend to try to use it and it just didn't work well with this style!

[@naturalnubian2003]

Good review. Thank you.

[@HelloHappyMom]

You're very welcome!

[@Afikoman62]

That is clearly an everyday schlepping around bag. Do you really need a big thing of wipes? If you have kids...this is clearly not an everyday bag for you. Nice review!

[@HelloHappyMom]

Thanks so much for watching and your feedback ! Appreciate it !

[@robinmartin6627]

Thanks for sharing. What a disappointment!

[@HelloHappyMom]

Maybe wouldn’t be terrible if you don’t pack much🤷🏻‍♀️

[@saramurphy2733]

The purse definitely looks terrible when you start putting stuff in it.

[@HelloHappyMom]

Sadly yes :(

[@purses-puppies-politics]

that's a terrible bag good thing you're returning it

[@knk9657]

Oh my that is not a good look-if I wanted to pack a bag minimally I would just get a smaller bag, this bag was designed to be packed with a lot of items hence all the pockets and room but the design is flawed-just awful😮

[@mpg314]

Omg that’s hideous!
