Default New Tags for BEC
Hello everyone

I finally got my bag from the limited leather sale....sorry no time to post pics now. I got a Love Me Mini in Chocolate Crash. However instead of the traditional 2 BE tags, it had one tag which is the same one as in the Surprise Me. I inquired about this and Jackie said they are using these on BEC orders now to identify the bags as "extra special". I have been looking at some of the reveals from the sale and the ones I have seen all have the tradtional double tags. Anyone else hear or receive a bag with the new tags?

Thanks

Melissa

maybe the bag you got was a cancelled BEC order as I thought only BEC's have that new tag...

It's probably just a matter of timing. Those produced with the double tag probably just were done before BE decided to switch. That's my guess.

So, what's your thoughts on the new tags? I kind of like them, but I was just wondering if you were disappointed or you were just wondering.

All of my new BEC orders, including those from the limited leather sale, have the new tags. I really prefer the new tags. I've always pulled off the double tags immediately, but I leave the new tags on.

I really like the new BEC tag. I don't think I'll ever order BEC...sigh...so don't think I'll ever have one.

My Pewter SPM came with the new tag. It is a bit larger and I don't like the threading. I think it would be better without the threading, but I would still prefer the old tags. It's not a big issue for me since I only keep the tags on my SMMs.

my BEC bag from the limited leather sale had the new tag. I prefer the old rounded tag and on the bag i had made (glossy red adore me) the threading on the new tag doesn't quite match. i think i might remove the new tag, although i leave the double ones on my other bags. i think you should have a choice of old tags or new tags - like you do with studded or crystal.

I prefer the new single tag because the 2 old tags tend to click together and I find the sound a bit annoying.

i always assumed that my BEC bags from LL sale have new tags because jackie saiid she introduced them from maybe july/August onwards?
however all my regular sale bags have the standard 2 tags..

that's how I understand it: regular bags have the 2 standard tags, couture bags have the single threaded tag

nice idea, I like this

I like both, but I think I prefer the double (I like to play with them!). The threading is pretty, but maybe a bit busy on a simpler bag without threading in it?
