M Z WALLACE was founded in January 2000. The line includes bags, luggage and accessories for women and men. Innovative yet classic, M Z WALLACE appeals to a multitude of personal styles. Its goal is to create a quality product whose style endures.
Women's Wear Daily hailed M Z WALLACE's debut, calling the collection "fashionable and refined." Harper's Bazaar wrote "Lucy Wallace Eustice and Monica Zwirner design handbags with a studied simplicity."
In short, the line is classic with a twist.
The collection uses contemporary materials to create clean, modern shapes. There is always an element of surprise that distinguishes M Z 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. Another example, as featured in The New York Times, is classic-shaped hand-held ladies' bag in bright orange with leather trim.
The line is constantly evolving, but the sense of surprise remains a constant- as with the classic tote now lined in neon colors for spring. As Wallpaper magazine proclaimed of the M Z WALLACE collection "they're the sort of pieces that say, " I have arrived," rather than " I am running to catch up."
M Z WALLACE co-founders and owners Lucy Wallace Eustice and Monica Zwirner in May 2000 opened their flagship store in Soho. It was designed to showcase the bags in an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. The store, raved WWD, "perfectly reflects the simple sophistication of the designers and their handbags."
