Thanks Prada and Rosie..I don't mind Pink at all..in fact I got myself the Pink WTM midi, but the flash gave an impression of a very shiny and bright Pink, so I became a tad worried how it might look like in the sunshine

But I'm relaxed about it..lol

This is really pretty! It reminds me of things that are strawberry colored, but not strawberry really. Does that make sense? Like strawberry shampoo is a pinkish-berry tone, but not the same as strawberry in color. I like it!

i was a bit worried it would be too big, as its my first TME but its so super smooshy already its a bit unstructured when you wear it.. Unf. jackie says they have no mroe of this leather, so whoever got the apple Wax bag will be very lucky too....

I ordered the TME midi in Apple Wax and after seeing your photos I am even more excited to see it in real life. Congratulations on a gorgeous bag! The color is stunning!

The wax leather sounds fab. I have bought a WTM Midi in the wax leather and I believe it's the same colour too. My order is currently being processed so I have taken a very keen interest in your views and now very excited about receiving mine as well!

I have a bag in apple wax that I'm looking forward to seeing in person too.

OMG--that leather looks flawless!!!

I can only imagine what if feels like.

KongratZ!!!

Great bag, congrats!

That pink is the perfect strawberry color and I think it would work all year round as a pop of color. The leather looks absolutely divine.

Pradameinhofgang · Oct 23rd, 2009, 04:45 PM

thanks, i emailed Jackie about caring for it and she advised just a light spray of protector, so i actually got it out today and dod that and couldn't stop stroking the leather (today was a pewter crash TME midi day) as it looked like it was going to rain this am. and i didn't want to risk getting my new beauty wet!!

Thanks for the info on the way leather. I'll spray mine with Collonil when it arrives, glad I don't need to use anything fancy that I have to buy extra.

elizat · Oct 23rd, 2009, 09:37 PM

Yes, thanks for the post on the protectant. I had emailed Jackie, but have not heard back yet and wondered if this was an okay leather to spray.

This looks great, I do love the matte leathers! I'd love to see this IRL once it has smooshed. Did you get the pink TMA? Are you going to keep that one for spring/summer? I'm trying to decide on Cobalt.

I have been emailing Jackie and Rose for months about this exact bag and considered buying it at full price. I was all set to buy this during the last sale and was under the impression it was a TME Midi. As I have never owned a BE or seen one IRL (at that time) and tend to prefer smaller bags, I was so bummed to find out the bag was actually a full size TME. If it were a Midi or Love Me Midi or Mini I would have paid full price for it. I saw the leather and you are right the flash makes the color look different and it is actually closer to the color of the stock photo. I am so jealous....for the price you snagged it for, I probably would have purchased the full size. Such a great color and a shame they cannot obtain more of this superb leather.
