MZ Wallace New York Tote
December 20th, 2005
Just like Marie, we love contrast and mixing materials in our accessories. The New York Tote by MZ Wallace provides the gorgeous contrast of fabrics we crave. A mix of Italian tapestry fabric and brown leather brass-studded trim truly says “grandma western chic” in a perfectly unexpected way. This type of contrast is apparent in the entire MZ Wallace collection. There is always an element of surprise that distinguishes MZ Wallace pieces – the unexpected pairing of bright green and fuchsia on a sleek, modern shape or a traditional tote with leather handles in a camouflage print.
