It is a bit late now for the bespoke orders but you could ask for a small leather sample to be sent to you to help you to make your mind up about other purchases. Jackie has done this for me so I know that it is possible. It would seem to be a more logical and cost effective method than sending and potentially returning a whole bag.

the bespoke bliss deadline was moved to Oct 24 so there's still time

Someone posted a pic. of a brown glossy TME (sorry I can't find it now) and the leather panels are cut differently than on the TMEs on the BE site. Instead of separate pieces for the front and sides, they are a cut with a curve so that the bottom of the side panels wrap around to the front (if that makes sense). Are future TMEs going to be made that way or would a bespoke order involve a choice on this? TIA

I have conferred with Jackie and have been told that the only difference is actually that the front has two small panels in the bottom corners. These "corners" or two pieces can be added on a bespoke order.

I trust the picture of the black glossy MMS has been featured? I must learn how to show pictures here!

I do have a bit of a collection and can tell you that I am currently partial to a lovely petrol TME! A previous favourite was my black crash LM.

We are actually working on a fun little project that will involve discussion of my BE bags. More to come in the future!

It is my hope that we will continue to have access to this wonderful luxe glossy leather. You can be sure that I will mention this idea of a glossy MMS to Jackie!

Yes, we are offering 10% off your first fall bag.

Kindly let me know if you might like a small swatch of this leather and I will see what we can do about having one sent to you. We have clients who generally do not like pebbled leather but very much enjoy this one because of its softness and glossy finish.

Thank you! I might need your services again in the future if it is not very much trouble.

Dark grey Midi available! Somebody grab it!

Rose - I am going to post instructions on adding pictures here so you don't have to keep switching back and forth from your pm account. If you would like to make an attempt to add a picture, click on the go advanced button below. Then, click on the paper clip located next to the font color change buttons up top. A box will pop up. Just click browse and find your picture in whatever directory it is located on your computer. Click upload and then just click on preview post to see if it attached successfully.

It's that easy. Good luck!
