Default I'm not Blue now that I have my Pebbled Petrol EM
I have been waiting for this bag a LONG time. :) When the Enchant Me first came out, I wasn't too sure I would like it, but it slowly grew on me. Anyway, I got the OVERSIZED size w/out the stitching (i.e. no weaving of leather on either side). I just had them do top stitching. I'm looking at the bag and it doesn't even look that oversized to me. I have been going over the measurements on BEC and I'm still not convinced that this is the oversized... lol.. maybe my eyes are seeing things. lol.

Also, the beige interior is gorgeous. Its like a pale gold... it matches the brass perfectly.

Here are some pics...

Your bag is beautiful. Blue has always been one of my favorite colors and this shade of blue is great. I also like the look of your bag without the hand-threaded stitching. For some reason, I like the stitching on my SPM, but I'm not crazy about it on the EM. Enjoy your bag!

Very nice. I really like the interior with the blue. So, is it big enough for you or did you want it even bigger?

Wow, I love the color combination. Totally makes this more understated than the original model. Love it.

I thought it would be bigger... more like my LV Galliera GM. I don't hate it... don't get me wrong... just "envisioned" something big. Right now, its really puffed up and filled with stuffing, I think it will get slouchier when I use it (tomorrow!). :)

I love the color! I hope it softens up and is more the size you wanted. It is a very pretty bag. I can't decide whether I like the stitching on the EM or not, so it is nice to see one without the stitching!

The stitching is gorgeous too, but I think its too boho for me. You know? :) I wanted it more sleek and felt that the tassels would be enough of the boho for me. It will definitely soften up. Right now its totally filled (really really filled) with stuffing. When I emptied it, it was a puddle of buttery leather. :)

I will take a pic later of it with my purse stuff inside. :)
