Belen Echandia: Pictures plus Chat!

[luvinmybags]

Someone started a thread showing her Petrol TMA and she modeled it, but now that searching is disabled (why??) I can't find it. Can anyone lead me to those pics? Or TPFER who posted those pics, please repost?!

^^^Thank you, but unfortunately, that's not it. It was a thread specifically about this TPFers Petrol TMA, and I think the last post was last spring or summer. I found it by accident when I misspelled Belen Echandia as Belen ENchandia, that was when we could search. She had great modeling pics of the petrol TMA and I really want to see them again.

took me ages to realise it was echandia not enchandia! sorry it wasn't helpful, there ARE a few modelilng pcitures of a petrol TMA in that thread though

I really want a BE bag. I need help!!!!!!! I think I am going to order one. This will be my most expensive bag BY FAR! I really need advise!
I will use it everyday! I wear jeans to work everyday and I am a pretty comfortable, casual dresser. I am a size 2 so I don't want a HUGE bag.
I like the Love Me and the Take Me Anywhere.
Colors: Dark Grey, Petrol, Red (maybe purple)
Any opinions?

ahem the pictures in the first post are in the topic i linked too!


TMA in petrol is lovely!

and lindzstu welcome to BE! i love BE...haha! they are expensive (most expensive bag i've ever purchased too ) and i think that if you are looking for a not big bag then the love me might not be right for you since it seems to be one of the biggest bags that BE has to offer (if not the biggest). BUT i do not want that to dissuade you from buying BE bags! the indulge me, stroke me and charm me are a more 'typical' bag size (if i'm allowed to say that). plus the BE bags have great colours and the leather changes from colour to colour and it gets all smooshy.

but i will let the other ladies chime in here

[lindzstu]

Thanks! I started a thread with the same question. I don't know if I should do that, I'm new! Is the LM too big for everyday?

Hi lindsztu, I posted a reply to your thread re: TMA and LM.

TMA is bigger than the LM but they are both beautiful! Jackie's leathers are getting better and better.

[annvaldivia]

it depends on what you carry and how tall you are also - im 5'4 and use my LM daily to carry my baby and me stuff but when im just carrying for me, its a little too much bag. the TMA is bigger so i wouldnt go that route, but i would check out the indulge me, the hold me and the med stroke me - jackie is also coming out with some new styles this year, so if nothing will work for you, you may want to wait :)

OH WAIT! There is the new Love Me Mini, which might be perfect for you! It's about 12 x 8 x 5 inches and is a good medium sized bag :)

morebags~can you post dimensions on your CM? It's such a terrific bag. Thanks.

My CM is in black crash. I cannot say enough nice things about the crash leather, I'm it's number 1 biggest fan. If there were more colours I'd get a bag in every colour LOL.

There are no compartments in the CM aside from a zippered section so it is a bit of a free for all in there. i use a PurseIn so it doesn't bother me but I can see how this would be a problem if someone had tons of stuff in there.

I've got a SM (medium) also and love love love that and I've got a couple more large ones on order. Can't wait until they arrive!

What are the dimensions of the CM, including the depth, please. That may help me decide!

I was considering the IM but now after seeing your pics I feel that the bag isn't for me especially because of the sticking out bottom and the different compartments.

FYI, the bottom on my petrol IM is quite soft and I'm sure will soften even more. The bag easy to carry against my body. I'll try to post pics. tomorrow.

more bags - Thanks for the gorgeous CM pics., I love how your bag has collapsed.
