I'm sorry I didn't mean to ignore your question.

YES, Jackie told me that we can do a bespoke for the SM anytime. It's just a question of getting all 8 ladies to agree on color. It seems that would be the tricky part with this particular style. Everyone seems to have their own color in mind.

I only want the dark choco. If anyone else cares to join then let me know.

I haven't decided on a leather for this one yet. Still on the fence.

I also think this messenger is a good bag when you don't need too much to carry.......I can see myself carrying this one on day trips with the kids to the amusement park, or maybe NOT!!! I might need my TMA then!!!

But I keep coming back to what Circoit said.......this messenger is one of those styles you don't want to overstuff. Keep it simple, neat......a wallet, keys, lipstick and that's it.

I've decided on my colour and will be ordering on in the new purple cervo tonight! I'm going to go for black with the EM since I already have a dark purple hobo.

Sounds good Moonstarr.

The more I think about this one, the more I think I'll be ordering both new bags in the black pebbled glossy, silver hardware, only different linings.

Call me crazy, but I love the black pebbled

I was thinking of black for the messenger, but it looks so darn nice in the purple pebbled!

I want the exact same bag. Should we try to start a bespoke to get 10% off?

Yes.....I keep thinking about them to improve my mood at work!

One will have pale blue lining....the other purple

Moonstarr, your EM sounds interesting. I'm not as brave as you!

I think this style would look great in a fun color because it's so sleek. I'm having a hard time gauging the proportions though as the online picture looks so much skinnier than what the dimensions reveal. Guess I have to wait for some modeling pictures. This might be a great style for me to try the pewter!!

I agree with you on this 100%. I had a gorgeous HH messenger that I adored the look of, but the 1" depth didn't work for me at all - even throwing my keys in there made it look all lumpy, and my sunglasses simply wouldn't fit. I go very few places where I only need to carry a wallet, cellphone, and lip gloss, so it just wouldn't be practical for me.

That said, this would be a perfect fit for my tiny 10" laptop, as long as I didn't have to carry anything else. And I love the 2-sided style; maybe we will see a maxi version at some point with a bit more depth?

I kind of like the idea of pewter. I'm still wanting to take the plunge and get a metallic.

So how many people have actually ordered a Purple 'Cervo' Surprise Me now?

I think that BE would make it tpf bag number 2 and run a group bespoke for it.
