About Us
MZ Wallace is an independent, women-led company launched in New York City in 2000 by Monica Zwirner and Lucy Wallace Eustice. Their collaborative vision is informed by their backgrounds in fashion, design and contemporary art. Their aim from the start was to combine smart, solution- driven design with timeless style to create bags that work for dynamic lives. MZ Wallace bags offer sophistication through both heritage and seasonal collections, and solution-driven style through innovative details, like lightweight, sustainable materials and pockets that are just where you need them. Today Monica and Lucy remain true to their founding philosophy-great design propels dynamic lives.
