Here is my latest arrival my customised Im Beautiful midi in Purple pebbled. This bag is as good as TG said it was- it is perfect for work but would also work well for travelling , as a mums bag or whatever you need it for.

There are some unexpected additions - a couple of pen pockets, and also the small pocket at the back pictured!

I customised mine with blue lining, zipper pulls instead of tassels and most importantly thinner threaded straps which I much prefer to the original straps they stay on my shoulders really well.

Its always a risk creating your own specifications but I am really pleased with the tweaks I made so here are the photos:

Lovely!

Very nice Rosie!!!!!

And ladies, remember, this is a new bag, so as yet, still a bit boxy. If you see this bag after a week's use, it will be all puddley yet structured.

Thank you for posting pix!!! Lovely. Enjoy.

It's awesome in purple!

Really, really pretty. I also prefer the zipper pulls to the tassels. And light blue is my favourite lining colour.

I love it! Please do post photos when it starts to soften and puddle as I can't imagine it looking any lovelier than it does now.

Rosie, thank you for posting these pics! Your bag is just plain gorgeous. I like the zipper pulls you've chosen. I'm hemming and hawing over whether to keep the tassels on the main compartment or switch them over to zipper pulls on the IB Midi that I have on order. I like both but can't decide.

Is there anything more you'd like to add about the zipper pulls that might convince me to get them??
