Ladies,
I just have to say that I"ve been wearing my large wtm in taupe everyday and I absolutely LOVE this bag.

At first, I couldn't decide if I liked the dark grey or taupe more. Somedays I thought the taupe looked pretty and then other's I thought is it too dull in appearance? WELL, let me tell you that after you wear it for 2 weeks straight it develops this incredible patina that just isn't there upon arrival. You really have to wear taupe to see it's beauty.

The leather develops the most beautiful patina/worn in look! It's not every bag that transforms so drastically IMHO then the taupe. I know the choco matte does as well.

So for those of you that enjoy watching your leather change in both texture and color then I think taupe might be something to consider.
If BE comes out with new styles for the fall I'd definetely even consider buying again in another bag. It's THAT pretty.

LB2, you are so right about the taupe grey being a great "transformer"!

I've a taupe WTM, too and carry it now for 2 months straight and the leathers gets nicer by the minute. I did love it when it was new out of the box because it was already smooshy and soft but now it's even softer. I've never received so many compliments on one bag and 4 of my collegues will buy the WTM in taupe this year.

Thanks Sweetie. I love providing a good review!

Tanja, it was your review on your taupe wtm that made me excited to wear mine actually. I remember you mentioning that you received compliments and I LOVE those! hehe

Wow, that's amazing advertising!

You're all motivating me to carry my taupe wtm midi more. I look forward to watching the leather change!
