Jackie has just asked me to post pics of the Surprise Me after it has been modified to prevent the pocket flaps from pulling back off the zips on the threaded side of the bag. This looks like it will do the trick to me. Really looking forward to getting my next bag!

Well done Jenova!!!

I think you mean 'Well done Jackie and Marco'.

Hi Jenova,

Thank you for sending Jackie your email with all the suggestions.

And well done everyone involved!!

Can we have our existing "faulty" Surprise Mes modified, I wonder???

Is the Surprise Me solely a messenger bag for wearing crossbody or can you wear it on one shoulder?

Anyway that aside, it does look as is the gaping problem has been sorted out (thank goodness!).

Jenny, I'd email BE and see what they say?

You can wear it either way.

CB, I actually ordered a WTM shoulder strap to wear the SPM on my shoulder. The messenger strap works fine if it doesn't slip off your shoulder. I have problems with bags slipping so the messenger strap doesn't work as a shoulder strap for me which is why I'm trying out the other one. I'll let you know how it works once it gets here!

We CANNOT have the bag modified, as they've changed construction of it entirely.

I'm going to have to take needle and thread to it, I suppose....

Hi Jenny,

That's too bad that we can't alter our pewter spm's. But, if it's an entirely different constuction then I can see where it would be impossible.

I can't wait to receive my port spm and compare it to the pewter. Why do I have this feeling I"m going to absolutely love my port and wish my pewter were the same?

Thanks for checking. I'm kinda sad that I don't have the new and improved version though.

I think we're all a little disappointed. But, I will say that I don't plan on letting it stop me from enjoying my bag just the way it is now. At first I didn't even like my spm mainly due to these issues that have been addressed but now I totally LOVE it!
