I know that you don't have the complete spring line up. Do you know if the TME Midi in glossy wine will be available? I love that bag, but I don't think I can do it now. Could you do a layaway--and how would that work. Feel free to PM me.

Hi Rose

I am contemplating a BE Mine which is one of BE's bags from last spring I think. There were a few available in the SS but can you confirm whether there are any left or whether I would need to order this bag through bespoke bliss!!

Thanks

I have a Bespoke question.....
I know that if we get 8 ladies in on the group order, we'd get a 10% + free shipping discount. But what if we can get together an order of 10 or 15 of the same bag ordered? Could we hope for a larger discount?

Hi Rose

I expect that you know that Balenciaga supply customers with spare tassels (the leather ones on the zip pulls) for a small fee.

I can see that my BE tassels are wearing quite fast. Are you able to provide the same service?

PS - until this year, when they put up their prices and started to cut quality, Balenciaga provided a set of spare tassels automatically when customers bought their bags. It would be very classy if BE could do this.

Thanks again!
You are quite welcome! Do enjoy your new bag!

We generally do not recommend specific leather care brands as there is such large variety and not every product is appropriate for every type of leather. Having said this, Boston and Lovin My Bags brands do seem to be recommended by our clients.

We usually recommend spraying from a distance with water protectant, using a replenisher on matte leathers and a renovator on scratches.

That wonderful smell does seem to last quite awhile.

I have received word that the upcoming Spring line should be made available sometime around February.

As far as we know, the Hold Me should make a reappearance in 09. It does not seem as though it will be ordered in the dark grey matte according to what has been mentioned.

Thanks.
Yes, matte tan will be available next year as far as we know. I am not aware of an extra charge for this leather but will check and let you know if there is.

There are no concrete plans for a thinner black leather right now. What a lovely idea!

It does not seem that the TME Midi in wine will be available in Spring. We do have a couple in stock at this time.

You may wish to contact Jackie regarding a layaway as I do not have the power to accommodate this type of request. I am sure she will have an idea as to how we can help!

We do have a white with white python and a mustard remaining. Please email us if this interests you.

Bespoke Bliss is also a fantastic option!

Unfortunately no. The eight orders are the very least we can accept without having to pay an additional bespoke charge. Often times the order will reach the ten or fifteen mentioned as we have other clients or perhaps one of our showrooms who request to be added. Unfortunately it does not lessen the cost.

The 10% and free shipping is BE's way of expressing our appreciation for your group order.

Hiya Rose! Nice to meet you! I think there is a thread somewhere but thought I'd ask it here, any idea how much the removable strap for the AP would cost?? I would love them for my Mottled silver and Fiamma red AP's, but don't want it to cost too much!!! Ta!!

Also, for those of us who don't want to or can't commit to any bespoke orders now, apart from the LM midi in Spring, and the beloved TMA are there any other lines making a come back such as the Love me, LMM, Stroke me etc, as it was mentioned they were being discontinued, or will they be made on an individual basis only?

Finally, apart from the tan being available, could you confirm any other colours/ leathers that will be available next year?? It just helps some of us to control our spending habits a bit better!! Thanks!!! xx

Rose,

Sorry to hijack this thread with so many questions but do you all have any LM or LM midi's in stock?

When is the next sale and is the large Hug me's shoulder straps long enough to wear on the shoulder?

Thanks!

hi rose

is it correct that angel purses, flirt with mes and kiss me clutches are not available as bespokes? are those styles going to be continued (esp flirt/kiss) as many seem to be sold out on the website?

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.
I'll private message you! Thank you!
