WTM both regular and midi size are my favorites. I agree that this style has the most comfortable straps. It also looks so sleek and be carried a multitude of ways. I have it in the pebbled wine and pebbled black. Also really surprised at how much I like the surprise me. Really is the perfect everyday day bag. However, I think most of the BE bag styles are well thought out and lovely in it's own additional way.

lovebags - I'm glad to see you've come around on the WTM style. It really is my favorite BE style so far - for the exact reasons you state. Plus, I actually think the styling is perfect, its edgy and modern and unique without looking like it is trying too hard.

So, that being said - out of all my dozen or so BEs, I like my purple crash WTM midi and dark grey WTM the best. I would love, love, love a tan one, but I worry about denim transfer since I mostly wear dark jeans and I wear my WTM crossbody quite a bit.

WTM midi. The perfect bag.

Jenny1963 · Sep 10th, 2009, 10:57 AM

I'm still a TMA girl. I've been carrying my "older" Tan TMA and my Taupe TMA all summer long!! Love them; what's particularly nice for me are the front fringed pockets, where I keep my iPhone, keys and important "to do" lists!

I still love my WTM midi for cross-body wear when I'm running around and can't be bothered with a huge bag (pewter and choco crash: true love!) While I love my pewter Surprise Me, I haven't been reaching for it much since I received my pre-loved pewter WTM midi, although I like the styling better than on the WTM. It's funny the "circles" on the WTM don't bother me a bit; it's the vertical straps with the studs that are too much for me, but until I win the lottery, I'm happily "stuck with" preloved BEs, so if they're WTMs, all the better!!

I used my black python Clutch Me the other nite, and loved it! Very chic and easy!

I still love my pebbled orange maxi Hold Me, but seem to lug it mostly to the gym (on the way to work) with my wallet and change of clothes, in addition to my WTM midi (for taking computer to work, as well) and TMA. Carrying three BEs at a time is QUITE the look!! lol!

I'm dying for an I'm Beautiful (regular or midi,) but have to wait until something turns up pre-loved...

I really like my WTM Midi (very comfortable), BUT I'd have to say my two favs (because I can't narrow it down to just one) are the Dark Purple Matte and Dark Grey Matte LM Midis. I just love the look of this bag!

I'm loving my pre-loved Wine Sheen Make Me Smile Midi. It fits everything and the straps stay on my shoulder or I can carry it hand held. The colour is divine and so versatile. I don't really wear my bags messenger which is a good thing because neither the Hug Me nor the MMS is good for messenger.

Of course, still love my Hold Mes in various colours - they are so easy to carry and fit a lot of stuff - great for when I don't need as much as the MMS can carry.

WTMs midis everytime- stays on the shoulder and is so comfy - I have three! Wine & black pebble and pewter crash - fab bags!

ITA! You've got three great leathers for the WTM, numnut.

My favorite styles are the TME Midi and LM Midi. I like these bags because they are both practical and stylish. They are the perfect size for me, the straps stay on my shoulder, and they can be used with both business and casual clothes.

I just wish that all of them had the permanent divider since it keeps everything organized and in place. Two of my bags have the permanent divider, one has the detachable divider, and one has the secret pocket instead of the divider. Without the divider, everything falls over and sits at the bottom of the bag in a mess. A purse organizer helps a little bit, but even that tends to fall over.

Agreed. It drives me and my Mom insane. Either perma divider or secret compartment w/o........THE best organization.

I agree. I only managed to buy one LM with a permanent divider before BE changed to the removable version and I much prefer it to the pull out divider and the secret pocket. It should be one of the free options on BEC (maybe it is - I haven't checked the LM recently).

merika · Sep 14th, 2009, 06:57 AM

LM in black pebbled, hands down.

I totally agree with you ladies re the divider. I"ve sold or given away all my BE's that no longer have it since I was always losing my things and not staying organized. I tried a purse organizer and still missed the divider.

That's certainly one reason why I'm just wearing my WTM these days since I find for some reason I can locate my things easier in that bag.

Maybe BEC will offer it back as an option if they don't already.

Interesting on the dividers. I never used the detachable ones in my TME midis because I thought it would be annoying. I might have to try it. The design of the Indulge Me bothers me w/ the separation, so I assumed I'd hate the detachable pocket as well in the TME midi.

Hi Elizat,

It's a shame about the design on so many handbags (not just my BE's) where things just seem to get lost once inside or they become hard to locate easily.

Aah, I suppose always the hunt for the perfect bag!

I'm not suggesting to try the detachable pocket. Those are the ones I"m not a fan of and your right they're annoying. I prefer the permanent divider.

Good Luck!
