Default Glossy Purple AM
Tropical Gal - I'm getting a glossy purple at end September (managed to snag some of the leather at 30% off), so I'll post pics when it arrives.

I absolutely love more curvy bags, so when I saw this one I just had to have one!

Purple glossy sounds beautiful for fall. Waiting for your review and pics...

I just emailed Rose to find out what delivery date I selected. In my fever to snap up the leather, I think I put in end of September. The craftsmen are on holiday in August (oh to live in Italy) so I think this was a wise date to choose as I don't think it would have come much earlier than that.

This will be my first reveal (although I own several other BE bags) as I only recently joined TPF. Finally, I can get in on the action!

I guess I'm a member now. Funny thing is, I almost decided against this purse, but it was on sale for 50% off @ Moda Mario. My original plan was to order the Whisper to Me, which I thought would be a great bag for taking on our trip to Italy. (I know. coals to NewCastle) But...ya know the price was right, and one can't have too many black bags, and the cost of shipping was going to be the same for one as for two...so, what the heck. Wasn't sure I was going to like it, but whatever, it was on sale.

Well as you've guessed the WTM is lovely but the Adore Me is PERFECT for our trip. So, change of plans--adore me goes on vacation and Whisper waits at home.

I've read so much about pick pockets zeroing on tourists, but the shape and small opening of this bag is going to work out just great. (Also, I've figured out a way to attach my wallet and camera to the inside of the bag, leavin a long enough cord for me to have access, but no one whose heart is not pure will be able to get it out without some work. Also, as someone else mentioned, those side zippers definately help me to get in and out, but when thy're closed the tight opening under my arm seems very secure!! I was worried that it would be to big for me, but absolutely not, in fact I wouldn't mind if it were a tad larger..neh, probably not.

Size comparison with Hold Me, modelling shot and hanging on the door to break down the leather.

This bag doesn't look like it has a flat bottom but it balances on a table perfectly. Inside shot to see what it can hold (angel purse, purse, coin purse, glasses, sunglasses, PDA, 2 mini diaries, plastic tub of nuts.
