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?

Hi MJ! You know, Jackie has several laptops of different sizes, so you should ask her what can fit into the IB Midi. She sent me pics of her large size and it looked normal. Let me try to post that pic here tomorrow.

Great review & lovely pictures, TG. Thanks for sharing!

I really like this style, and the color couldn't be better. KongratZ!

It's beautiful. Thank you for the photos.

Thanks for your pics TG because I really start to love this style because of them. I prefer slouchier bags and was afraid that the IB midi would be to boxy and stuctured for me but your pics proofed me wrong. Enjoy!!

Hi TG, thanks for the pics, the IB Midi looks gorgeous and with that wonderful colour too! I'm new to BE and have been thinking about the IB Midi, and your pics/review are definitely helping me decide to get one too!

Was wondering if you maybe you could post some modelling pics too, with or without the shoulder strap? Cos I can't seem to find any modelling pics of the IB Midi ..

Yes with BE modeling pics are quite useful as I find the bag looks totally different when being posed for a pic then when it's actually on your shoulder. I'd love to see more modeling pics of the EM And this style.

Good Luck in your decision!

Thanks for your review. You really make me want the IB. :) Your photo of the slouchy bag really catch my eyes. :) Much better than web's photo

Tropicalgal - I just received my purple pebbled IB midi and I totally agree with you it is a FANTASTIC bag. I had mine customised with blue lining to match my other purple bags , zip pulls rather than tassels ( because i prefer that and am mainly going to use it for work) and most importantly thinner threaded straps which are perfect for me they stay on my shoulder. Your review was part of the reason to order on impulse so thank you.

TropicalGal · Nov 16th, 2009, 07:34 AM

Wow Rosie, you are amazing the way you customized the bag. Must be gorgeous in purple pebbled. I have a Hold Me in purple pebbled and I think that is THE softest leather. What is a zip pull? hipnycmom also folds the base of the bag lengthwise to make it stick out less. Slouchy structure! Good for you!

rosie07 · Nov 16th, 2009, 08:18 AM

I bespoked the hold me in purple with blue lining and leather handles last summer and then Jackie made it as part of stocK!!! I absolutely love the purple pebbled leather and now have 3 bags in it!!

Zip pull are like the zip on the angel purse, looks really nice - I am not always wild about tassels on my bags depends on the style.

TropicalGal · Nov 16th, 2009, 09:05 AM

Can you start your own thread about your unique purple pebbled IB Midi? I'm sure everyone would like to see it!

I adore my purple pebbled Hold Me. It is a brilliant bag! Thank you for dreaming it up!!!

mariabdc · Nov 16th, 2009, 04:41 PM

Thanks for sharing, TB. That bag is gorgeous. I love the comparison pic. The root Enchant Me is truly beautiful. Enjoy them!
PS We now need a family portrait!

elizat · Nov 16th, 2009, 10:00 PM

This turned out great! I really love it in port.

Hi TG, how long did you wear your IB before it started to slouch? I have a root IB (full-size) that is so very suitcase-like and unappealing.
