Neways,
so... how much does it usually cost for bespoke I'm Yours bag?

What a lovely daughter you are! I am certain that your mum would love such a special gift.

Bespoke orders are generally 20% more than the usual cost of the bag. Kindly email me at rose(@)belenechandia.com (please remove brackets) so that I might give you a more exact price.

My apologies for not having more information, but Jackie is still working on the line and we have not finalised things just yet. Spring 2009 is tentatively scheduled to make its debut in February so we should have a bit more information closer to that time.

If you see a style in a colour that you like in stock, we would advise that you grab it now! We may not have that style in the spring line. Our leathers are also subject to availability.

Of course there is always the option of ordering by bespoke!

Thanks!
We are still finalising the upcoming line and are not able to say for certain. I can tell you that dark grey matte will probably be available though we do not yet know which styles will feature it. I am sorry we do not have more certain information to share just yet!

We always do have our bespoke service should it not be in stock.

New Messenger Strap:

Q: What will the new messenger strap be like?

A: The updated strap will be adjustable and the same length as the current strap. It will also feature a larger middle piece which will make it softer on the shoulder.

S/S 2009 line:

Q: What colours and styles will be available for spring and summer 2009?

A: Our creative director is still finalising the line and making selections as to what will be featured. At this time, even the girls at BE do not know which styles will definitely be available nor do we have a definite list of colours or leathers.

It is suggested that if you see something you love in stock, you might wish to order it sooner than later. Bespoke service is also available. Kindly keep in mind that leathers and colours are subject to availability and sometimes limited.

January sale:

Q: Will there be a sale in January and what can I expect?

A: We have been featuring one in January though there have been no definite dates set just yet. We will notify our lovely clients when there are set arrangements.

Sale items are stock on hand so generally only one or two of a style/colour available. We often have disappointed clients who waited until the sale only to find that the colour or style they desire has been sold out. Since our bags are made in such limited quantity and our fall line was quite popular, it is highly recommended that you place orders while they are in stock so as to avoid possible disappointment.

Hi Rose,
Is it possible to show the online catalogs from the differst seasons as a fixed feature?
I often see questions regarding older models and how they could vary.
I think it also could be a help identifying models no longer in production, or if somebody is planning a bespoke.

Thanks!

Thank you! This is a lovely idea that I will be sure to discuss with Jackie. In the meantime, do feel free to email me for any assistance regarding the older models as I can always send over stock photos and descriptions.

Have a fabulous day everyone!

Rose - I really want a black bag with a matte leather that is super soft like the mahogany matte leather. Could you ask Jackie if she has anything like that available? I would love to have a black matte TME made. Thanks.

We do have a black matte leather. Might you be interested in that one?

A bit more about matte black. It is actually a bit more of a charcoal colour but GREAT! Similar in terms of softness and suppleness but marginally thicker.

Do email me and we shall see what we can find!

I had been looking into the possibility of a black matte leather during bespoke bliss. Jackie had given me info. re: the "charcoal" black matte (which is greyish and IMO very matte) but also said there was another black matte that was a truer black and softer (more like dark grey matte).
