Chocolate sheen might be called mahogany as it is a bit similar. The sheen texture is more or less like the glossy.

Will the hobo be available in more colors? Seems silly that the only new bag is only available in limited colors. I would love the hobo in turquoise!

I do apologise. The WTM does come with the messenger strap. Thank you for asking!

It is actually available in any of the colours listed on the last page as indicated on the info sheet. We will even pay the extra bespoke fee for you if it is a pre order.

A hobo in turquoise sounds quite pretty!

Hi Rose,

1. When do pre-orders end (or have they already ended???)

2. Also, on your pre-order sheets, the regular size Love Me is listed as having a cross-body strap. It used to not have one. Is the cross-body strap in addition to the previous longer strap that it had on previous models of the full-size Love Me, or is the new cross-body strap replacing the previous longer strap?

Thanks much!!

How does chocolate sheen compare to the glossy chocolate leather used
in the recent Hug Me bespoke? I'm wondering if owning 2 bags, one in chocolate sheen and one in chocolate glossy, would be too similar in color and texture? Thank you!

TL, I believe that the Chocolate Sheen can be compared to the Wine, Petrol, and Cilifene's recent light Grey TME midi- it's "smooth" and has a light sheen or gloss to it.

The Choco glossy has a "pebbled" texture- very different, but equally beautiful!

Hi Rose

Can you confirm which colours the croc leathers come in.

Thanks X

Thank you, Contessa! Do you know if they differ in tone or color? I so want a WTM midi but cannot for the life of me narrow it down to one color! I wondered if it would be redundant to have a hug me in choco glossy and a wtm midi in choco sheen? My collection must stay small and so far I have a yellow RM, a choco glossy hug me, a mottled silver tma and a plum crash LM. I love brown bags most so perhaps a choco sheen wtm midi would be a good addition?

TL, personally, I think a Choco Sheen WTM Midi would be GORGEOUS and very different from the choco glossy Hug Me.

The Choco Sheen is more a Mohogany colour and the Choco Glossy is more like that of a creamy milk chocolate.

HTH!!!! I'd go for it personally!!! I'm getting the TME in Choco Sheen myself!

Thanks once again, Contessa!! So, one last question.... how do I pre-order it? Do I email Jackie first or just place the deposit on the website with a note for what it's for?

(and I expect everyone to remind me that I am BANNED after this!)

TL, I'd place a deposit via the Website with a note in the subject line and for added security and peace of mind, I'd send Jackie a separate email informing her of your GORGEOUS bespoke!!!

I'm VERY tempted to get one myself! How about we get one w/ the python trim????????

Wouldn't that be incredible? I've never really been tempted by python but as trim sounds really appealing. Something subtle and elegant. I have a VERY casual lifestyle but this could fit in nicely! I'm listening....
