Smile Got it. Brilliant. Purple pebble hold me
Ladies! What can I say!? The Purple Pebble HOLD ME is BRILLIANT. Leatherlined handles. Soft, smooshy leather that is butter. In a Hold Me, it is: Classic. Elegant. Sophisticated. Yet totally casual and perfect!!!! It is exactly what I wanted! Very very luxe luxe luxurious. This bag says, "don't mess with me baby, I know what cool is..."

The COLOR-- better than I dreamed of. When I saw Tiger Lily's purple pebble Enchant Me pix, I thought, oh dear, not for me, too bright, too purple. But lighting and photographing is so hard. This purple is deep and rich -- making the bag a neutral, and alluringly chic. I totally understand why Rose said to me, "Purple pebble is a BE team favorite."

I'm traveling now-- received this bag whilst in the U.S., so can't post pix.

Just want to add that the purple pebbled leather is much lighter than my black pebble(TME Midi) and that this has strengthened my resolve to order from BEC a ROOT PEBBLE STROKE ME.

OMG- a BE pebbled leather that's light? That's music to my ears. I've always appreciated the beauty and durability of my pebbled leather's but unfortunately don't wear too often because of how heavy. Thanks for mentioning that about the purple. I can't wait to receive mine hopefully by next week!

^^^I think a Rock Me in purple pebble would be excellent. Such a lightweight leather for a big bag, plus, the slouch factor. Divine!
