CB - I love your red BM Mini. Is it a recent purchase?

How about a modelling shot to give an impression of scale?

Cornflower Blue · Jun 3rd, 2009, 04:17 AM

Thanks Jenova, it's a fairly recent purchase and I am completely smitten with it.

Hmm, I'll see what I can do about modelling pics - at the minute I'm in the most unflattering shorts and my hair has taken a life of it's own. We've been having a Tropical heatwave over here in NI which makes me feel like a limp lettuce leaf.

I'll try and make myself halfways decent and maybe give it a go later.

What the heck....I've put them up on the modelling pics thread, shorts and all.

CB, thanks for posting those! That is a gorgeous bag!! I just ordered a BMM in natural pebbled leather and feel much better about the mini size! Now I have to be sure that I want natural over light coffee or cream!

Cornflower Blue · Jun 3rd, 2009, 01:46 PM

It's a lovely bag and bigger than you'd think! I bet it'll look gorgeous in one of the light coloured neutrals!

tlloveshim · Jun 3rd, 2009, 01:59 PM

I just got my pre-loved TME midi in milk chocolate pebbled glossy!! Yay! It's such a fabulous bag! I knew I loved the leather because I had it in a Hug Me but the style wasn't for me! I love my tme midi in matte tan so knew I'd love this bag in this leather! And I was right! I fell in love with this exact bag when I had already bespoked my Hug Me so learned too late that this was probably what I should have ordered! But it worked out in the long run as it is here now ready to be petted and loved! I love happy endings!

And CB, I think the BMM will be excellent in a lighter neutral too! It's the perfect bag for a bright color or a calm neutral!

Just saw your lovely BM Mini in the other thread and it is fabulous!! Can't wait to see your BMM in natural, Tlloveshims...you were quick to decide on one of the new leathers!!

I am completely impressed!

Cornflower Blue · Jun 3rd, 2009, 02:13 PM

Thanks HarryCarry, I'm sooo pleased with it! It's a little gem of a bag!

What did you think of the group bespoke section on the BE Website?

I would have found it helpful to be shown an indication of how many people had signed up as interested in order to know whether there was any chance that a particular bespoke might be viable.

Jenova · Jun 4th, 2009, 12:44 AM

and thanks

I see we now have the basis of the reference library etc.

That would indeed be very helpful - maybe just showing how many 'expressions of interest' there were. I wouldn't want to plonk down a deposit on any 'if' or 'maybe', I'd want to know for sure that there were enough people interested first, before placing a deposit.

Jenova · Jun 5th, 2009, 06:18 AM

I experimented with 'expressing interest' in a bag to see if that got me any further information but it didn't seem to. I went straight back and deleted that design in My Account. However, I wonder if BE Couture still thinks that I am 'interested' or whether it has wiped that memory.

I like how it is showing how many people are interested versus paid! DId that just happen, or maybe I didn't notice it before.
