Bespoke for the Black Pebbled Glossy/Cervo TME

[capulet]

I came home yesterday to my TME midi (red lining, gold HW) and AP. Here are the best photos I could take with natural light:







I really like the purple lining with the AP--in fact, I almost wish I'd gotten purple lining for my TME instead of red, but I think the red will work better for finding stuff in my bag. I carried it today and I love how comfy it is, both on the shoulder and with the messenger strap. The only thing that's kind of a bummer is that I requested corners but somehow, due to a glitch with the website, the atelier didn't get my request, but Jackie said I'd get a refund if I paid for them (which I'm not sure I did), and I didn't even notice they were missing until this morning, so I guess I can't mind that much. I think this will be a great everyday bag, especially in the fall/winter and for travel.

The black, red and the gold look amazing together - so sophisticated!

Love the colors too, capulet.

How is everyone liking the extra long velcro straps on the AP?

Moonfancy, have you received your bag? I would to see the TME with the extra zipper and extra gold studs!

Yes, and I LOVE IT! The extra zipper pocket on the front is fabulous, and the additional gold studs are so elegant. I do have to say, however, that the yellow gold lining I got is not very yellow gold. It looks like an iridescent beige. It's very classy, though, even if it's not a true gold.

I actually need to take some pix of my pewter LM. I had TONS of extra gold studs put on that one, and it's a head-turner for sure. I will take some pix of both bags and see if KatieFin will post them here for me!

moonfancy ...look forward to seeing your bag! i have to agree with you that i'm a little dissapointed with the yellow/gold lining - its not as bright as id imagined and is more like you say - beige - however it is classy - but worried it will get dirty !

Okay, I finally took some photos of my bag to share! It's funny ... for some reason photographing this bag isn't as exciting as photographing my bright, colourful bags. Usually I can't wait to take some photos, but I think because this is dark and more of a fall/winter bag for me, it lacks some of the excitement of those vibrant spring/summer colours. It IS a gorgeous bag though ... don't get me wrong! The first thing I noticed when I pulled her out of the box was how SOFT the leather was! You just want to squish it! I had never had any of the pebbled leather before so this was my first time seeing it in person. Right away I thought "oh oh, I can see more pebbled bags coming in the future!".

I was going to get the corners on this one, but since I was needing to cut back I decided at the last moment to take them off my order. I went with the blue lining on this one, but in hindsight, I wish I would have chosen the purple lining (my favourite!).

Oh! I nearly forgot to include a photo of my Apple Green AP ... this is the one I choose to get free with my Black TME Midi!

I felt the same about photos of my TME! I also found it quite hard to make the black pebbled leather look as pretty as it does in reality, because the light reflecting off the black pebbles made a lot of my photos appear grey tinged. I'm loving seeing all these photos of the other bags in the batch - sister bags!

Love these pictures and reveals!

I have this bag in black and pale blue lining.....never wore it yet and almost sold it.......but after seeing these pics, I'm kinda glad I kept it around. Might pull it out this Fall.

Beautiful!

Yes, I have to say that I will not be choosing the "yellow gold" lining again. Like you, I suspect it's going to get dirty quickly. I really wanted this lining to be luxurious and mellow, like antique gold in the sand at the bottom of the sea.

Moonfancy, when do you think you'll have photos of your bag? I am SOOOO excited to see what it looks like with extra studs. :)

I second that! I want to see you bag, Moonfancy! And did you post pictures of your pewter LM somewhere?

I agree with everybody. It's difficult to capture the beauty of the black pebbled leather. It is gorgeous though and very pretty and lovely in real life. This has been my go-to bag. When I'm heading out the door and indecisive about what to wear, I pick up the black pebbled. Also, I think I'll find even more use for this bag when the weather turns cold and gloomy here.

I did! Senorita Licorice has her own thread (thanks to KatieFin) and Mr. Pewter has his own as well (also thanks to KatieFin!)
