I've been off the forum for ages (busy busy!). But have to post here

I *think* I bought a pewter crash Clutch Me, a bag I've been eyeing for as long as I can remember. I say I *think* because when I went to pay I got a credit card error message. My bad, I didn't contact my CC company to let them know I'd be making an overseas purchase. I decided it was a sign I should be buying and just closed my browser.

But then I did get confirmation email from BE. So, either I'll get the bag or I won't. Clearly I could follow up with BE, but I've decided to just sit tight and see how this plays out!

For things like APs and small accessories, they adjust your shipping. I'm just going to follow up on it to be sure I'm refunded for the amount over the actual shipping cost.

I thought BE will refund any excess shipping?

I do believe that shipping for AP's is minimal, but the computer during the sale isn't set up that way. Jackie always says to order, and they'll fix your shipping fee. But do write Jackie or Rose about this before you order. This is my understanding from past experience. Good luck!

Well the TME midi in pewter and the Hold Me in pewter and practically ALL the Kiss Mes went like lightning!
I was considering the TME midi for my younger sister who is "breaking in" my new pewter LM mini for me ... oh well, it might be just a little bit longer before I get my LM mini back. (She does report that it's softening up really nicely and that the bling factor is down.)

I got the Berry Hug Me (color also known as Dark Pink and Pink Wax). I had wanted this in the TME Midi but they only had the regular size which I thought might be too big. I was even grappling with the Midi being too big so I could not see myself going for the regular size.

Thought it was very hard to decide as I also liked the Hug Me in Chocolate Crash with gold hardware. From the chat on the forums it seems the Crash leathers wear better on the corners in styles like the Hug Me. And I just love that color, really punches up standard brown....will probably order from BE couture in this color.

Anyway I am super excited as this will be my first BE bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thrilled to hear this as I just gave my wtm pewter to a friend to break in for me too. How funny we both did that!

P.S. I"m happy to hear about all the great scores today!!!!☺

Certainly will TG! I'm looking forward to using this bag in my travels, as apparently it's good for packing flat....
