It smacks of DIY craft works to me too.

I was just checking out further the 360 view on the website ... although I don't mind the lacing on the front, I actually really love the simplicity of the back without any extra lacing/stitching.

I think I would be tempted to order one even with the stitching on the front ... I think this may be a bag that each time you look at it you like it more and more. I just have so many purple bags ... although I don't have any purple cervo!

I LOVE IT and so grateful that one of our ladies could win this one!

I like it better than hobo #1 (Adore me), but i am not tempted.

I would love if the messenger had stitching details-and the long tassels. I dont like it on the hobo, but would love it on a more casual messenger bag.

Ms.Lizardo · May 18th, 2009, 12:54 PM

Well I am really smitten...and all I can say is if I love the Messenger as much....I am in BIG trouble!

Heck throw in some new cervo leather choices and I could be headed to the poor house.....LOL

*wondering if the term "poor house" dates me*

I am not a hobo gal but I do prefer the plain one with the tassels. Love tassels! The stitching is one of those things that I would have to see irl to make a decision.

So is anyone going to order the purple cervo Echant Me? I do think the purple cervo looks TDF but I have wanted something in taupe for ages!! Not sure what to do....hhmmmmm.....

Jenova I agree with you - I think the lacing looks a bit "cowboy" - just my opinion. Once worn in I imagine the lacing could look a bit tatty...

BUT as per Moonstarr's observation as it's only on one side you can wear it on the non lacey side.....

I think I'm going for a dark purple matte charm me mini or a wtm midi and later a tma midi in chocolate matte. I like the 'cervo' leather but I really adore the matte leather most of all. I like the hobo, especially w/o the stitching but I never have luck with single strap bags like that staying on my shoulder. The only single strap that ever worked for me was the thin WTM shoulder strap. (And my Ignes midi sofia strap which is also a thinner strap.)

I prefer the plain one with tassels, and think the braided stitchy one would be better without the tassels, imo.

Odebdo · May 18th, 2009, 02:31 PM

I like both of them!

Contessa · May 18th, 2009, 02:31 PM

Love the new BE tag on the Purple Cervo hobo.

I love the tassels. For me, they could be longer, but then, you're talking to someone who's in love with the Gucci Indy and Jackie hobos, so for me, the longer, thicker tassels, the better.

And while I like the stitching on the front, I also like the plain version as well. There's something about its casual simpliciity that catches my interest.

And I really like the base of the handles where the 2 silver rings are. I think it looks fantastic.

tenKrat · May 18th, 2009, 02:36 PM

Hmmm....wouldn't it look fantastic in matte petrol????
