Gorgeous bag! Thanks for all of the pics., the size comparisons are really helpful. I prefer this type of top stitching and the EM looks great in this color/leather. I'm tempted to get a petrol matte EM with this type of stitching.

Thanks for taking the pic. The bag actually looks pretty perfectly proportioned for you so long as you can get enough in it. I am not sure that bigger would really have looked as good. I wonder what the next size down is like though? Maybe too small?

Jenova... Jackie confirmed it is the oversized. I agree, I think the size is good for me. I just thought it would be bigger. lol. I don't mind it at all. :)

What a beautiful bag. I like this style better without the stitching... Enjoy her!

Tanja · Oct 15th, 2009, 11:57 AM

It's amazing looking, I love the leather and the simplicity without the stitching, great choice!!

Hedwig · Oct 15th, 2009, 02:55 PM

Lovely! Thanks for all the pics. I really like the colour and the EM looks so much better without the stitching. Congrats!

I didn't really like the Enchant Me until I saw photo in the customer review section of a Wine Enchant Me with no threading posted by Kate. That made me take a second and a third and a fourth look, now I'm feeling Port coming my way. And it's really interesting to hear that several ladies here like the bag without the threading. Jackie insists that it adds something but I have to say, for the first time, I don't agree with the designer. I like it without better, it's more elegant and less boho with just the top stitching. Damn. That means I'll have to do another BEC order

starsnhevn · Oct 15th, 2009, 05:19 PM

I have to be totally honest... I did NOT like the EM with all that threading. It felt so bohemian. I am not the boho type, though I do love tassels here and there. :) However, after seeing some WITH the stitching, I have to say certain leathers are quite beautiful with it. I just would rather have not have it.

I also agree I usually agree w/ Jackie, but I'm glad I went a bit rebellious on this one. :)

Oooh Sandy...me likey!! It looks so fab on you and I totally love the blue!

Contessa · Oct 16th, 2009, 12:56 AM

Beautiful bag Sandy.

Must admit that the pebbled leathers make the bag feel smaller than it is due to the smooshiness factor of the pebbled leather. I have the regular size and at times wish it were oversize, but my matte ones are just fine "size-wise"

Now......one thing I must admit is I prefer this particular bag with the handles "attached" like the original Jackie had way back before she decided to add the messenger strap option. Personally I would never wear this style a la messenger as to me, a hobo belongs on a shoulder not crossbody....just looks better IMHO

VanBod1525 · Oct 16th, 2009, 02:46 PM

Contessa, can you post some pics? I'm dying to see more of the Enchant Me!

Contessa...we will have to agree to disagree. :) I actually tried it as a messenger and its super cute. It lays nicely against me and isn't cumbersome at all.

bonniekir · Oct 18th, 2009, 03:59 AM

Wow..I almost totally missed this gorgeous bag! I think you made an excellant choise with not having the stitches on this one!
It keeps it simple and sleek!
I also imagined the oversized to be way much bigger, but it looks more like a normal size

...and OMG do you keep an organized bag or what?? I have a wallet in mine..and perhaps a makeup bag..the rest is jumbled together..lol

I agree in thinking the size looks great on you...not small at all.

I frequently do find myself wishing that BE bags were sized in between the large and midi; large is too big, midi too small.

Whatever works! The pebbled leather is super-soft, so I'm certain it lays nicely.
