Smile Loving the pebbled leather!
Hi Everyone! I am having a serious love affair with pebbled leather! It began with my Black Pebbled TME Midi, the classic, slouchy shoulder bag.

Then I got a pebbled Milk Chocolate Angel Purse. Divine.
Now I am about to receive a Purple Pebbled Hold Me. Can't wait!
And now I am contemplating a Root Pebbled Stroke Me.

Anyone else love pebbled leather? It wears like a dream. It slouches so easily. It looks seriously luxurious.

Black. It looked really cool in the black and I don't have any good black schlep bags.

You are going to look amazing with your black pebbled Rock Me. That is such a seriously wonderful bag to own. Congratulations on your good taste! Enjoy and let us know when you get it.

I love the pebbled leather too. I have it in black and brown, but would buy another color when I'm ready for a new to me bag. I like the matte leathers, but the pebbled is so pretty and stays looking new, aside from the slouch it gets over time.

BE pebbled leather is scrumptious. I'm admiring the dark green pebbled leather at the moment.

TG - I LOVE pebbled leather. I think I"m going to really enjoy wearing my dark purple HM right with you!

It will be refreshing not to have to worry about it whatsoever!

I also have a port spm on the way. Can't wait!

Root looks quite promising.

I can't even imagine what a root or port weekender set would look like. Everyone here knows how much I LOVE BE's travel/accessory pieces.

Can you all talk more about the durability of the leather? Is it one of the more durable ones, i.e., good for an everyday bag? Thanks.

The pebbled leather's are GREAT for an everyday bag. I've found that they can be heavy but it's wonderful to never have to worry about your bag.

All my pebbled leather's look exactly the same condition as the day they arrived. You never have to worry about scuffs, scratches - nothing!

And they always look quite pretty.

Hope this helps.

The BE pebbled leathers are very soft and slouchy. They wear beautifully and are very durable. They shout "luxurious" and yet they are a real day in day out leather. I use my black pebbled TME Midi as my daily black shoulder bag and it hasn't shown any wear. Some pebbled leathers are heavier than others. For instance, Jackie told me that the root, port and purple are lighter in weight than the black. That is the one thing I do not like about my black pebbled TME Midi -- it feels heavy to me. (I had the same bag in black crash leather and it was light as a feather). But I'm not talking "heavy heavy" -- just heavier than other pebbled leathers. I still adore my TME Midi and use it everyday.

Many ladies love the crash leathers because they can withstand rain and all sorts of abuse and still look great also. I have both crash and pebbled in my handbag wardrobe. I travel on airplanes with a purple crash TME (full size). It is light as can be and fits everything in and looks effortlessly chic.

Does this help?

I only have one pebbled leather ... the Black TME Midi and I haven't used it yet (it's my winter bag!), BUT I do have to say that I was surprised how SOFT this leather is ... and the smell .. yummmmmm! It totally made me want more pebbled leather too!

The Root is a much more lightweight leather, not as heavy, but with a similar shine..it's lovely!
