It seems to be the type of bag that people kind of forget about because there aren't very many pics of it, and perhaps because it is a more classic and older BE style?

I just saw your IY Tote and IY pics in the reference thread. Your IY in mottled gold ROCKS. Classic style + metallic leather = FABULOUS!
Thanks - I always loved the Wine IYT modelling pic that used to be up the BE website. I think it has gone now.

Jenova I love your new tan BE the color is really warm and rich looking. Love the pictures and your kitties are so cute.

I have wonderful news after smiling constantly and being so happy seeing everyone's purchases from the amazing sale - I just received an email letting me know that my package is on its way. I am waiting for a TME in aubergine. Yes the person who has always only carried a black or brown bag, then progressed to crash in black and brown, then onto a wine MMS and a petrol Adore Me and finally into some real color my latest purchase. After being really hesitant I was able to branch out and add some color to my bag purchases based on all the wonderful pictures and reviews in the BE forum. I am really excited and cannot wait to show you my latest bag - hopefully it will be here before the end of the week or maybe early next week.

Looking forward to seeing your bag when it arrives. Aubergine is such an amazing colour.

djfmn: ...now this is a neat colour!

I myself have just recieved another part of my sales bags..The Tan TME, Pink WTM midi, Clutch me in Croc Cream and the Indulge me in Kiwi...

All models/ leathers which I wouldn't have thought of buying had it not been for sale...and I would have sorely missed out on some terrific bags!

The Tan TME..is gorgeous, and will match my travel set..so if I have any inclination of traveling in style, this will be a perfect option

the Pink WTM midi..is a dot of colour which is a happy one, and I think it'll suit my complexion and skin tone beautifully..hahaha..no, I'm not kidding.

the Clutch me is simply a bag de luxe for me..the Croc Cream is very, very nice and does not seem like a cheap mock croc at all, but rather sophisticated...and I do think I can pull it off like an everyday bag for Summer use.

the Kiwi Indulge me..the bag itself is a bit too small for me for sure..but the leather is so rich in colour and in such a wonderful shade of olivish green, that I'm a bit sad it is just not a bit larger. I have a slight faiblesse for Browns and Greens allthough I hardly use them..save the Choco matte brown..(but this one has also a reddish hue).
The Indulge me model is great, and I could definately use a larger version!

djfmn - Aubergine! You won't regret it, I have this in an MMS Midi and it is beautiful. It looks so good against so many colours and the leather smooshes beautifully. Post pics when it arrives?

Tomorrow I am collecting my Dark Purple Glossy Adore Me and I just snapped up a Fuschia Hold Me for £99 thanks to Jenova's eagle eye spotting 2 new items on the BE sale.

Wow you got some amazing bags. I am looking forward to seeing some photos. I looked at the Indulge Me in kiwi as olive green is one of my favorite colors. Now I know who the lucky person was who purchased the Indulge Me. It is such an unusual color. The pink bag sounds amazing such a wonderful color. I cannot wait to see some pics of all your lovely bags.

Enjoy them!!!

Thanks VanBod1525 I am so pleased to hear that you really like the aubergine color. I was not to sure about getting it but thought that it might an interesting addition and go with lots of other colors.

I will definitely post pics when my bag arrives.

I love my Adore Me in petrol it is the bag I wear over the weekend it is such an easy bag to carry and the more I use it the more I love it. I hope you like your new Dark Purple glossy Adore Me as much as I like mine.

djfmn: thanks! yes, I'll take pictures as soon as I can find my camera..lol. You're absolutely right. The Kiwi IS a very unusual colour...a rich, shiny olive I would say. This was a cheap bag and a bit wrinckled, but I've given it a good conditioner, buffed it up and stuffed the corners, so hopefully it's former glory will be re-instated! The sad part is I don't think I'll keep it..it's just a bit too small for me!

The Adore Me and Turquoise Sheen Hold Me were from the limited leather sale. The Clutch Me was from the recent sale. I'm going to shoot another pic when the Fuschia Hold Me arrives, that is also from the recent sale.

What a fantastic 3! I can't decide which one I like more because I would be in love with all three of them. I just adore these colors. KongratZ, VanBod!
