Hi Ladies, Well, I took the pictures. And the pictures are on my computer. But when I try to upload them, it says they are too big. How do I resize? In English please!
xxxooo

Here is comparison of Root and Port

sgreg · Nov 3rd, 2009, 05:19 PM

The color is gorgeous! It looks kind of chocolately...is it, in real life?

TropicalGal · Nov 3rd, 2009, 05:25 PM

Port, when it doesn't sit next to Root, can pass for a brown, a cordovan. But in other lights, it looks like a deep wine. So it is a very versatile color.

Just wanted to add that the IB Midi in this picture is empty of all stuff, so it is super slouchy. I really adore it; it is a certain kind of slouchy chic that is just my style. Of course, when it is full, and when it has stuff in it, it looks much different. Compare my picture with the model's picture on the BE website.

Lovely TG!!!!

Cornflower Blue · Nov 3rd, 2009, 07:05 PM

I really like it! It's a lovely semi-structured combination imo!

I thought that the style was really quite structured (and I guess it is) BUT that port pebbled leather gives it a wonderful vibrancy together with a slight casualness that is extremely appealing. I know it might become more structured if it's filled with work stuff, but still....I think it would work beautifully as a daytime handbag too!

Nice one TG and enjoy it!

TejasMama · Nov 3rd, 2009, 07:14 PM

Did TG just post pics?! Yippee!

I love this bag. I do think the slouch factor will let you use it as a regular bag, too, but it is perfect for travel and work stuff. You've picked some lovely bags!

*suzi* · Nov 3rd, 2009, 07:24 PM

Oooh, I think I really like that style!

Moonstarr · Nov 3rd, 2009, 07:32 PM

So nice! This bag looks so functional and fashionable ... congrats!

Edited to add: Does it come with a shoulder strap? I think I can see rings for one.

djfmn · Nov 3rd, 2009, 08:04 PM

The port color looks as though it will be extremely versatile - it is a wonderfully rich color.
Love the pics and review.

Yes! A shoulder strap! comes with it.

You know ladies, the bag sort of looks like a slouchy mess...but it is so cool! I can't describe it. Slouchy chic, but a structured construction. An amazing combination, but hard to photograph! And remember, when I got this bag, I said to Jackie, "This looks like a little suitcase...I can't possibly use this..." Ha ha ha on me! No wonder it is her favorite bag right now too, along with her Surprise Me.

You know Ms. TG, every time you write a review I want the bag you own. Jackie should hire you. She'd make so many more sales! LOL!

I utterly adore your detailed description on what can possibly fit in an IM. I just wonder though, because I have a MacBook 15", I would have to buy the large size, and you mention that the Midi looked like luggage at first. Do you think that the large size, would look, well, too large?

Sybaryte · Nov 4th, 2009, 02:03 AM

Pretty color but after seeing the comparison shot, I realize I don't care much for the IB. Too utilitarian for me. But the Enchant Me is gorgeous...love the slouch and the tassels!
