Glossy wine should continue to be available as far as we know.

Follow up-Regular size Hug Me should be available in spring though large size will probably not be part of our regular stock.

Yes, glossy navy, wine, and petrol are the same. Will refer to these as our "regular" glossy leathers.

"The glossiest leather we use, dark grey extra glossy is almost a patent but has the natural, wrinkled characteristics of the glossy and matte leathers, making it softer than other stiff, overly-shiny patents."

Glossy chocolate luxe leather is a pebbled glossy leather so quite different from the glossy dark grey. Similar sheen or gloss as the "regular" glossy leathers.

Thanks, Rose. You have provided some really great descriptions.

Its good to know that you have non-pebbled glossy leather available. I don't really care for pebbled leather.

Thanks for answering questions Rose. I'd appreciate clarification re: the interior of the TME midi style. It seems that U.S. stores are carrying a version of the style with a divider separating the bag into compartments. However, on the BE site, pics. show the style without the divider. Is it accurate to say that TME midis purchased directly from BE do not have the divider or does it vary by color or individual bag?

Hi Rose,

Thanks for the info on the regular glossy leathers!

I actually was asking about the choco glossy/waxy, not the choco pebbled glossy. I was just wondering if the choco glossy/waxy was more like the dark grey glossy/waxy or more the petrol/wine/navy glossy??? I know it's available but needed to know more about it.

Thanks!--
jenny

Yes, it does vary by individual bag. We are happy to check into the colour you are interested in and let you know if the divider is present.

Ah yes, the non pebbled glossy chocolate leather is like the petrol and wine glossy. My apologies!

Please let us know if you are interested in this leather so that we might check into its availability for you.

Rose,

I just received my bag yesterday and I was wondering what products do you recommend for caring BEs?

In addition, my bag smells divine! Does the smell last?

Also, when will Jackie release her spring line?

Sorry for all of the questions.

Thanks again!

Good news ladies!

Jackie has emailed me that she is having computer problems on the website, and asked me to post that

The Bespoke Bliss deadline is extended to Friday, October 24.

So you'll all have time to make your orders and take advantage of this lovely offer.

Hi Rose! I *may* be interested in the flamma red glossy WTM Midi. If you could add me to the list I would appreciate it. I am currently waffling between the petrol, flamma, tan, and matte purple, but I haven't seen the matte purple...do we have any current samples of the matte purple available? Is it similar to what was linked here?

Ack! I may need counseling!

I would be delighted to add you to the ever growing list!

Might you send me your email address so that I may send the matte purple picture in an attachment? My apologies but I do not know how to upload it here. I will need your email to confirm the WTM glossy red bespoke as well. Thank you.

Hi Rose,

Will the Hold Me return in 09, and will it be offered in the dark grey matte? Thank you!

Hello Rose,

I was wondering if the matte tan will be available next year and if there will be an extra charge for it? Also, does Jackie have any plans for a thinner black leather like a Miu Miu/Prada leather? Just curious, because I tend to wear a fair amount of black.

Thanks.
