Hi Ladies,

So what do we think of this bag? I happen to LOVE and will order one the very first chance I get. Of course, it's hard for me to ever tell if it's LOVE until It arrives but based on the picture I "think" this will be a great bag for Disney and all our summer travels.

I could use everyone's help on color. I"m thinking black glossy, dark choco glossy, milk choco glossy or taupe. But, I"m very eager to hear everyone's suggestions.

I want a color that will go with EVERYTHING and work year round since I"ll "probably" only order this bag in one color. Okay, perhaps two at the absolute MOST!

P.S. I'm even considering dark purple!

LB, I think I'm going with the dark purple pebbled but I've also been wondering about dark choco pebbled glossy too since it would go with everything and I could use it year round. From what I've read elsewhere purple goes with so much and since it isn't too light, it would also be a year round bag. I also have been considering the dark purple matte because I love the depth of the color! It's so dark and is striking in the sun!

Are those 2 colors that you don't have yet (dark purple and dark chocolate)? I believe you have taupe, correct? I'd go for a color you don't have. Believe me, I'm in the same boat and my practical side is wrestling with the side of me that wants to be fun!

Moonstarr · May 18th, 2009, 08:41 PM

I want to order this one too! I really, really love the dark purple cervo and think it looks fantastic in this bag, BUT I think I might want to use that (if I do) on another bag I'd get more use out of.

For the Surprise Me, I was THINKING of maybe the Taupe Matte. It's a colour that everyone says goes with everything and it's a colour I've been hemming and hawing over ... I think in the Surprise Me it would be perfect. I think! What does everyone else think? I was also thinking Black Glossy, but then if the Taupe does indeed go with everything, then it might be the best choice. I could be presuaded to go for the Dark Purple Cervo though as well. Is this a bag people would be interested in doing a group bespoke for??

lovebags2 · May 18th, 2009, 08:52 PM

Hmm.... Are we able to order the SM tomorrow on BEC?

Do we want to try a bespoke first to receive the nice discount or do you think everyone will want a different color?

I"m still debating dark milk choco, dark purple cervo or taupe. Those are the three possiblities. Even dark grey might be pretty!

So hard to tell with a messenger. I"m wondering if it would look prettier in a matte or cervo. I do LOVE the durablity of a cervo especially for a messenger which is a "toss" and go.

The mattes are lovely but definetely not as durable for a bag where you might not "baby" as much. The cervo is perfect.

Okay I think I"m decided then either dark purple, black glossy or dark choco cervo. Anyone else care to join me in one of those?

Contessa · May 18th, 2009, 09:45 PM

oooooh.......SO glad I waited on the WTM midi.

I'm grabbing one of these for hot summer days where I need my hands free..... or when I'm running to work and generally have lots to carry. This one is chic and sexy!

That's true about the matte ... okay, I'd be in for either a black or dark purple glossy! The Dark Purple does look pretty amazing (looking at the photos above).

Edited to add: just checked out the dark brown glossy ... I could go for that as well. Seems like a nice neutral.

Contessa · May 18th, 2009, 10:14 PM

I think I'm going to go with a black pebbled glossy for myself and order a cobalt one for my daughter- both silver hw.

audball67 · May 18th, 2009, 11:10 PM

Do we have any ballpark clue on price?

Nevermind...it's on the site!

circoit · May 18th, 2009, 11:43 PM

Its cute - but I hate the fact that it is flat. I had a flat Balenciaga Messenger about the same size that I sold because it didn't look very good with my stuff in it. I would have preferred something with some depth - and if it did, it could have even been made a little smaller (like the Mulberry Antony).

asbb · May 19th, 2009, 12:24 AM

I love this one and think that I will prefer it to the WTM midi. I am having trouble deciding on a color as well. It looks great in the purple but I wonder if it will be too close to my wine cervo bag?

sgreg · May 19th, 2009, 12:31 AM

That's totally cute! I'm actually seeing it in something bright and possible shiny, being so flat/compact and close to the body. Cobalt, burnt orange...so tempting.

tlloveshim · May 19th, 2009, 12:31 AM

At this moment I am leaning toward dark chocolate pebbled glossy with red lining and gold hw. It'll go with most everything I own, will be durable and the pretty red lining will be a nice pop of color!

Silence is golden.

tastangan · May 19th, 2009, 02:16 AM

Are the dimensions on the website correct?

- H:30.5cm/12" (w/o strap)
- W: 29cm/11"(w/o strap)

The bag looks a lot taller than it is wide. I don't think the difference can be just one inch.

sgreg · May 19th, 2009, 02:21 AM

I think it looks a lot taller, but isn't. When I measured the sides of the image they are fairly comparable (I was surprised!).
