Default Pebbled luxe frenzy!
What a frenzy we have here at the BE sub forum!

What bags are you planning to order??

I know that I want something in the Natural - either a BE Mine Mini or a Hug Me! Something blue! Purple! And red! Well, that is my wish list so far.

I am excited to hear what you are getting!

I know! My plan for dark green and dark purple are out the window!! It's a brand new game!!

I might just wait and see what bespokes develop in the bags I am interested in.

I like these styles:

Hold me - clementine??
Be Mine
Charm Me
Hug Me - regular
Adore me (that fold in the middle would be superb in the pebbled luxe leathers!)
Original TMA

the pebbled luxe that I love right now are:

natural
light coffee
moss
clementine
red!
dark purple (but I have some dark purple bags)

I need to distribute one of those matching games where people draw lines and match the leathers to the style....then make my wishlist with the winners!!

Well, all of my mindful babble will now be sorely tested because of all these new leathers! It was easier to resist other bespokes and bags because 1) I love my dark grey LM like nobody's business and 2) I really love pebbled leathers. Jackie's got some gorgeous choices, so now I'm in a pickle.

I love the natural leather but worry it will be too light or delicate for my lifestyle (read: loud, loveable messy kids who often bring friends with them). I love the shark but already have my beautiful grey. I think the port leather is one of my favorites ,and the petrol pebbled luxe isn't far behind. Oh, and light coffee...gorgeous! I would like some color, but it would have to be more subtle.

Right now I'm having fun thinking of the possibilties and listening to other Belenistas' ideas.

I know TejasMama! I had declared that I would buy no more BEs unless it was crash or pebbled glossy!! And now look what happens!! I know I like a lot of different options so I will be happy with whatever I end up with. That's the good news.

Not to try to complicate things further, but I got this from Jackie about her favorites of the new leathers:


Of the new leathers my favourites are the dark purple first, then cream, natural, shark, red, maybe coffee, maybe beige-taupe .

Of the new blues my favourite is the “petrol” pebbled luxe.

I asked which of the blues she prefers. This is part of the reason I picked the colors I did! She is the expert.

Euridice,

I also really like the dark pebbled purple as well. Really pretty and seems very versatile.

Sandy--that petrol pebbled is really fantastic, isnt' it? It's like a nice splash of color but it can still be a neutral.

Must.Be.Mindful.

I.Am.Doomed.

Yes, that purple is sensational.

Actually, Sandy, that does help! Although, Jackie chose ALL the new colors from many others, so these are already her favorites! oops, I just opened the field back up again...

Yes Tejas - before the new Luxe leather explosion, I was feeling so good about not wanting anything and feeling happy with my current collection. Now all hell has broken loose!

I am trying to whittle down my list to just 2 bags. Not much hope for me now.

Tejasmama I"m with you on this. I'm just enjoying everyone's happiness and there's something to be said for that!

Also, I have to give Jackie credit. Everyone asked for cervo leather and that's when she went straight to Italy to find a color to suit everyone's taste. Now that's really listening to customer's needs. Kudo's to Jackie for doing a fine job in trying her best to please all!

LB--yes, Jackie really listened to us all clamoring for pebbled leathers! She found some beauties!

SereneRun-I envy your decisiveness!

Sandy--Good to have a number in mind. I have a number..it can only be one for one bag must be sacrificed from my closet!

I'm thinking the dark purple luxe Hug Me would be amazingly fantastic. It looks like a year round color to me and that style handles color so well. *sigh*

Anyone else pondering? At this point, it's just fun to post ideas about what we like. No commitments necessary. Just wishful dreaming!

Great thread! It's a wonderful opportunity for us to dream and help each other figure out how to mindfully choose bags from the amazing selection that Jackie has put forth!! I am down to five bags right now (provided the three that I have on sale sell), have one on the way, and have sold three others lately, so that means I can get a few bags...(I do the 1 in, 1-2 out rule). Here's my top pics, in no particular order:

- Natural Hug Me
- Clementine Hug Me or TME
- Dark purple EM
- Scarlet EM or TME

I can get two bags, tops...one will be the natural, and the other must have some color! I am leaning towards clementine, although I love the others so much...I may just get them all, but space them out considerably and depending on group bespokes.
