Default Pewter Hold Me or MMS anyone?
Hi Everyone,

I'm curious to know if anyone else is interested in a Pewter Hold Me or MMS/MMS midi? I might be leaning more toward the Hold Me but I believe either one would work really well for my needs. I imagine it with this incredible purple lining that has been posted lately (the combination is stunning!).

I'm not one to try to start up many bespokes as you folks know, but this is one I really would love to see get off the ground because 1) the pewter is so amazing and has had many rave reviews for its durability and flexibility and 2) the AP offer is very enticing.

Anyone else willing to consider it? Your ideas and thoughts are welcome!

Here are a couple of photographs...the Hold Me is Cornflower Blue's and the MMS midi is hipnycmom's, I believe...

The pewter Hug Me is Jenova's....

I would also consider a Hug Me in Pewter..

I think all of these styles would really showcase the pewter leather...

Anyone?

If I didn't already have one pewter Hug me and a SPM on the way, I would be ALL over this, TM!! I love the Hold Me in pewter, and the MMS...

Good luck -- something tells me that you shouldn't have problems finding people...this is BE's best bet!

Love your idea on the Hold me. I have a long time not been wanting the Hold me in the Pewter, but more leaning towards the Mottled silver (I don't have anything in this), but then again why not also the Pewter!

So count me in on the Hold me!!

I sold my MMS midi because I wanted to get a pewter Hug ME... I have 1 pewter left - the LM Mini with gold hardware, and would love a larger pewter bag with silver HW. I might consider the Hold Me. Just that I wish I could see the Hold ME IRL first. I am on the orange Hold Me bespoke and just want to be sure the style works for me before getting another.

I agree pewter is amazing amazing amazing! I don't usually like to have duplicate colors but I wouldn't mind having several bags in pewter

I received a message from Jackie and she is currently looking to get more pewter as it is now all gone! I let her know I was working on a bespoke so she would get a bit of advance notice. It looks like we will try the Hold Me style? I have it in choco matte and it is wonderful! Very beautiful in its simplicity and the perfect style to showcase the leather.

I will set up a group bespoke on BEC soon. Any other ladies out there considering this? It is a great deal and a perfect year round bag!

I'm so glad to hear that you ladies are considering this! I had a feeling that the pewter Hold Me would be a winner. It's no surprise that I've NEVER seen this bag up for sale on the online auction resell sites--people must love them too much!

I set up a bespoke on the BE website. It would be $450 less the 10% and the free AP!

I have this bag and it is comfortable over the shoulder, although a bit snug in the beginning. The leather does stretch over time and this has helped quite a bit. I can manage it fine with kids and it's quite comfy now.

Here is what I have:

1. TejasMama--Pewter Hold Me, Purple Lining, Matching Pewter AP
2. BonnieKir--
3. Bagsloverogs11--maybe?
4. Lenabean--

I think this is going to be a wonderful bag and what a great opportunity. The pricing and the free AP are a fantastic deal right now. I consider the Hold Me to be the perfect everyday, all around handbag designed to handle work, kids, vacations and all those little extras that you might need throughout the day.

I hope more of you will join us! It's going to be an amazing bespoke!

I'm currently still waiting for a swatch of the petrol pebbled luxe leather to decide on whether I'm going for the WTM.

If I should decide against that bespoke then this Hold Me could definitely be an option as I really want a pewter AP
And the Hold Me is probably THE style for a bag in pewter.

BTW what are those leather wrapped handles that some of you have chosen?

^You can get leather lined handles on the Hold Me for an extra $45.
