Moonfancy, You KILL me!! I love your imagination!!

And as for the corners, I didn't see any place to select that option in BE Couture, so I just wrote about it in the comments section.

I was thinking of the Midi, but then decided to go for the full size because I hope to use this bag in the fall/winter and may want to carry more. Mine will be with the light blue lining, silver hardware and the corner pieces. Oh, and I am having the handles shortened by 2" and the shoulder strap added. I like to hand carry my bags and thought this would make it so it wouldn't hang as low to the ground ... and then I can use the shoulder strap to carry that way if I'd like.

Lo - I did the same - I had put it in the comments and I also included it in my e-mail to Maya.

Ooohhh! Okay, if I had a few extra hundred dollars lying around, I would get another TME with gold hardware and red lining just like Loquita's. That sounds gorgeous. Hmm, maybe I could get it in a midi and pretend the hardware, size, and lining differences from the TME full-size I currently have on order mean they are two different bags.

Now, THAT, is logic at its finest. We should probably reword all of the above to make it into one sentence, and it can be our BE Motto!

I hope everybody's well and patiently anticipating their beautiful black pebbled glossy TMEs :) I just wanted to say that Maya has been an absolute doll and told me she would contact the ateliers on my behalf to add on my request for corners. I hadn't had time to put in that request before the ateliers collected my order, so I was a tad disappointed. My TME will now have corners though, so yay! Light blue lining, silver hardware, corners on bottom for me. I think the light blue lining is a gorgeous pairing with the black cervo, but I've also been thinking about picking up the black cervo WTM w/fuchsia lining on the website too :)

We have a few days before the deposit deadline, right? Jackie already knows I'm in this bespoke, but I haven't made my deposit yet because I am still backing and forthing about the regular or the midi, what lining, etc., and I don't want to make anyone at BE crazy with my unsettled mind. All I know for sure is that I want Gold Hardware. I didn't want anyone to think I'd backed out of the bespoke. I haven't!

^ We have lots of time before you finalize your decision! Our delivery date is in August, so no worries. Will you be getting corners? I notice that option has become a topic of discussion on this sub-forum recently.

Yes, ali, I think I will be getting corners. I also think I am going to go on and get the regular size bag, not the midi. I'm leaning toward the famous BE pink for the lining, as I do really love that pink. It's so cheery.

I decided to go with corners as well. I have a regular choco matte TME without corners. I do love it but want to see how the TME will look with corners.

I have this bag and have also seen my DIL's version with light blue lining, silver h/w.

They come out so different. One is hot and cheeky, the other cool and serene!

Bonnie, which bags come out hot and cheeky, and which ones cool and serene?
