I actually bought it from a friend of mine... then sold it a year later (moment of weakness trying to fund an RM buying spree) and have missed it terribly! I just got one on ebay yesterday and can't wait to have the TMA back in my life!!!

Greetings Tash,

I was wondering if I could join your club here?

I just purcahsed a tan tma the other day. I suppose I should wait and see if I love it before I become an "official" member here, but I have a feeling this will be a cherished handbag for my purposes on how I want to use it, mainly travel and long weekends. Much in the same as I'd use my overnighter bag.

I know, pictures are coming this weekend. I"m on the mend from a major trip to the dentist chair today. So, be gentle on me!!!

Poor Lovebags! I highly recommend two aspirin and a jigger of vodka. That's what I take after painful trips to the dentist. At least you have your TMA to look forward to!

Hi Tropical Gal, Your such a sweetie!

The Doctor told me to take their prescription they filled, it's just a lot of Ibuprofrin. Would that go nicely with the vodka instead? I hope so!

You know, I"ll PM you TG, the minute, I receive my tan tma with my full review preview. I can't wait.

Chris, was funny. The other day, she mentioned to cheer me up (I should take a pretty BE handbag to the dentist's office), but then I started to worry, while I was out under all the anashthesia, I would worry, I might wake up and it would go missing. LOL I know, I'm too funny ladies.

I did take my petrol HM! With special instructions to hubby, to keep an eye on it! LOL

I'm glad that you and your HM made it through your dental appt. okay! I hope you love your TMA.

Here are some TMA pics. for this thread. In the first four pics. the bag was fairly new and somewhat stiffer than it is now. The bag has broken in beautifully and become slouchier.

Thanks Chris, your such a sweetie!!!

Now, I have a question. The color on your tan looks like such a "deeper/richer" color then my tan HM. My tan HM is really light? Hmm.....

I do know that Muse Ten called it Natural instead of tan.

Do you think the tan looks darker on the tma then the HM or SMM. That would be incredible if that were the case. Because, I'm looking for a bag that is a bit darker then the tan for the fall. This might be just the ticket!

I've never seen any other tan BE bags in person so it's hard to say. But the color of the tan TMA IRL seems deeper and richer to me than any pics. of other tan BE bags that I've seen.

Thanks Chris, that makes total sense because my tan HM looks like an entirely different color then yours. It's much much lighter.

Your tan color I adore because it looks perfect for summer or fall.

Jackie and Ashley can't stop raving about their tma handbags. Jackie owns the light grey (same color as the chocolate, it's not on her website, but she does have a picture she can send, it's absolutely gorgeous, I've never seen a prettier grey except dark grey. And it's not pebbled like the light grey with sheen). Okay, enough of my rambles over Jackie's tma.

And Ashley can't say enough wonderful things about her tan tma bag.

SO: I"m very hopeful, this will be a keeper!!!!!!!

Thanks again for everyone's input, pictures and support for me to try something different. I know everyone here, knows I"m biased toward my LM, midi and SMM. This will be a nice refreshing change!

OMG - My Tan TMA is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow by noon. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

After seeing everyone's pictures and reading your reviews over PM's, I"m confident, I'll love this bag. And to think, it's been discontinued and this was my last opportunity at it, makes it even more special.

As excited as I am to try a Hug Me in the new line, I"m sentimental for the oldies but goodies!!!!

Thanks again CityChris for all your encouragement to try this amazing bag! I hope I love mine as much as you do!!!!!

I have delivery scheduled by noon. I"ll be on the PF with my review immediately afterwards as I've been told by my Dentist to take it easy for the next couple days. Hence, all my postings lately here on the PF.

But, I"m loving every minute of it!!!! LOL

Hi Contessa,

I"m glad to see you tonight. Ask me this question tomorrow okay? I might say the tma.

Are you still interested in a bespoke for that style if I love it as much as I think?

I "might" consider a 2'nd color, but even if I don't, I'd still like to offer my help to you.....
