And maybe the tassles too, although I am leaving that up to the atelier if the tassles would look better in black or purple. I LOVE purple and black together ... and I thought this could look really funky and cool. We'll see ...

That sounds like a brilliant idea. I love subtle contrasts and that should work very well. It won't be like anything BE has done before. Please please post when you receive the bag.

I *think* I have decided to purchase an Enchant Me in taupe WITH stitching. But I might just wait to see if I have won TPF contest first!! Here's hoping

this bag WILL be mine!! I love it!

That sounds like a gorgeous color choice Kel....My brain is wracked with confusion and pleasure at the moment....so want the purple, but this style will lend itself wonderfully to all the gorgeous BE leathers....totally confusing!

I like the hobo from the first moment I saw it, this is my model !

but now you posted the EM without stitching and I get in trouble, I do not know what I like more, I tend to the EM without stitching.
I definitely know what color I want: matte tan, with dark grey lining

but with or without stitching ? I don't know

What do you think, girls ? what do you think of the leather color/lining combination ?
and what do you say about my stitching dilemma ? Any advice ?

thanks

Susa - I would get it with the stitching. I think that the matte tan will lend itself particularly well to this bag and the stitching. Please post pictures when you get it!! Matte tan is the other color I would get this bag in if I didn't already have a matte tan SMM. I just placed my order for the bag "as is" in the purple cervo. It is so hard to choose because as Ms. Lizardo said, this bag will look fabulous in all of the leathers!

Do you ladies think this would look good in crash as well? Or would that be too much?

I am wondering how it will look in dark grey matte though I think I would prefer a glossy

These are the dimensions online: H: 21cm/8.5"(when slouchy and w/o strap) W: 37 cm/14.5" D 5.5cm/2.2" Maximum Strap drop: 33cm/13" Is it really 8.5" high when slouchy and 2.2" wide? That seems low and narrow. I like the width though. I'd love to see a modeling shot of this bag.

I am also a bit confused about the dimensions, 2.2" wide seems also too narrow for me, if I look at the pic , the width looks about the width of the LM, and I see that the bottom has 6 feets, where do you want to put 6 feets, when the bag is only 2.2" wide.
If the EM ist really that narrow, I will not order, I need more space

I asked Jackie & Rose about this bag in pewter crash and they both thought it would be lovely.

Amigas..since this is a forum, I have to be honest to say that, I am passing on this one..as is or bespoke. This is not for me at all, at least at this point. I guess I am a bit of a coward. I don't want to be a pioneer here on a sight unseen. I'll let you fashion forward pioneers have all the fun. I may do a complete 360 when you guys start the "fashion parade" here on TPF.

I'm glad that this has generated some excitement for everyone. I hope you all reveal what each of yours looks like so that everyone can share the pleasure of experiencing what this newest addition to BE will look like when everyone reveals their bags...the original purple version with all the bells, whistles and braiding..and the others with different leathers, stitching, tassels and hardware choices.

Amigas...Share..please..share..especially one of a kind and group bespokes...'cuz it ain't purse porn if we don't get to see 'em..LOL! So please please..I really do want to have a look see IRL..and who knows..maybe I will be enchanted.

Over and out..XOXO

so, I asked Rose for the measurements, since it seemed like a mistake on the webpage, measurements are now corrected, D is 4.3"

Thanks for checking ... that makes more sense. From the pictures it looked much larger than just 2.2"!

God I love them both. The one with the stitching reminds me of the Olde Tyme Koobas that I miss so much and the navy color and detail is gorgeous too.

how awful! You should have snatched it out from under her feet and issued a citizen's purse arrest!!
