You could be right. Now that I look at it again, there seems to be a bit of slouch in the middle of the bag that is probably making it appear narrower.

I am tempted by this, much more than the Enchant Me, and think that it looks great in the Purple Cervo. What a pity that there still isn't a good deep green leather option. (I would love one that is Purple Cervo on one side and Green Cervo on the other, maybe with a red lining?)

I can't see a way of setting up a BEC Surprise Me with the sides made of different leathers yet. (I tried to do one with Purple Cervo on one side and Dark Purple Matte on the other.)

Hi Ladies,

Well, I still can't decide which color to order today for my SM. I'm debating dark purple, dark choco or black glossy cervo's. Hmm....

As for the similiarity in dimensions with the wtm midi. Nah, I wouldn't even give that one a second thought. The wtm midi IS a shoulder bag that can be occasionally worn as a messenger. It fit's SO much that I even have my purse organizer inside to help keep me organized. I LOVE LOVE my wtm midi and wouldn't ever think twice about being without one (or two or three). IMO the SM is an entirely different bag with similiar measurements.

Okay, over my coffee this morning I just made my decision. I'm buying the SM today in dark choco cervo with fuschia lining and silver hardware. I LOVED the pics of the dark cervo Hold Me. And choco/fuschia happens to be one of my favorite combinations. Perfect.

I really need my SM to go with all my outfits. I wear SO many different colors from pale blues to fuschia and even orange in the fall. The dark Choco will go with everything and I won't have to worry about coordinating. I can grab and go!

Thoughts?

I'm having a HARD TIME deciding what color I want this in. I want all my bags in red and it's so hard for me to pick another color.

If there's a bespoke in black I might be interested. Or in another color maybe. Or...........

I do know that I.Want.This.Bag.

I think this will be lovely! I was considering the same or with red lining but am going with the dark purple cervo instead in the sm and I think I'm saving dark chocolate cervo for another bag later. I can't wait to see your sm in this combination!

tma midi in matte taupe, fuschia or purple lining, silver hw

My wallet does not like how I think!

LOL!

Do you know when you'll receive your SM? I can hardly wait. I just might be more excited for you to receive then you are.

I just told Jackie the SM will be my all summer/travel/go shopping in all the cutesy boutiques bag.

I am seriously considering one of these - but I am stuck between taupe or purple cervo!!!! I would use it as a casual bag for shopping so these two colours would be most versatile I think?? Any thoughts ladies!!! The python/crash sounds good too, but these two leathers are a bit more dressy.

I'm not sure yet! I think Jackie must be busy today as we've emailed just once and I've been waiting to hear back from her concerning a different bag. I'm thinking this will be primarily a summer bag for me too which is why I'm going with purple. If I wanted a more year round bag, I'd do something like dark chocolate or taupe. I sort of want a wtm midi too so wonder if I should do that instead of the charm me mini? Wandering off topic but it's so hard to decide when there's so many great choices!

Yes, I think Jackie is super busy today. I already placed my SM order and am waiting for confirmation too. No worries. She always replies quickly when she comes up for air.

If I were you I'd DEFINETELY go for the wtm midi. I can't say enough about this bag. And where you'll find the SM to be perfect for summer you'll then have the wtm midi year round. I think the WTM midi has to be my favorite BE day bag. The large HM is great for travel but nowhere as lightweight and EASY to wear as the wtm midi. Trust me! LOL

You have an excellent point; the sm in purple for summer and the wtm midi year round/mostly fall and winter! Thank you! I'd also love to see the matte petrol too as this would make a beautiful tma midi! I'm sort of dreaming of a teal tma midi this afternoon for some reason! (Actually there's teal in my shower curtain and I thought of how lovely it'd be in a tma/tma midi! LOL!)

Kajoe, I would imagine if 8 gals want the sm in the same leather then a bespoke can be done. You could email one of the gals at BE and find out as I don't know 100% for sure!
