This is my Spring Summer 06 Ivory Betty in the larger size (Spring medium size, summer large size). I got her on sale for 40% off when Nordstroms first did their sale. So she ran me a little over $1k. Not bad for a bag that started at $1900+. She is absolutely perfect for me since she is nice and squishy.

Here is my betty.. I think it's SS 06 too. It's a medium black. I paid beaucoup dollars on this baby because it's soooo hard to find a medium.. Don't regret it at all. Very durable bag and it's petite enough to bring w/ me everywhere.

Here's my small size black patent betty. She is totally stunning in real life and the patent leather is very shiny. A fellow purse forumer said that Chloé do the best patent leather and I agree 100%.

I am completely over the moon with her. Please do not be fooled by the dimensions of the small betty. It is like a tardis-looks small but fits loads of stuff into it. I think it is the perfect size (and I am used to toting around my Chloé paddingtons or Fendi spy) and I can easily fit my purse/wallet, keys, make up bag, mobile, umbrella, perfume and other bits of junk in without any hassle. I LOVE the details such as the little purse and the pockets. This bag is a dream and I shall never part with her! I am SO glad that I waited for the black patent as I think it is by far the best betty.
O.k, here are the pics, and the dimensions of this bag are: Height: 7.3 inches, Length (measured across the top of the bag): 11.7 inches, Diameter: 5 inches. All measurements are approximately done and I have not taken into account the pockets when measuring diameter. The handles are approx 8.5 inches drop.
I purchased my betty from the cricket boutique in Liverpool.

large black betty (purchased on sale from kirna zabete but i believe it currently retails for about $1800) and for size reference i'm between 5'5" and 5'6"...

Here's my small Betty from spring collection 06. I just bought her from a bag addict like me on a German bag forum. I paid 550€ instead of the original price 950€. The best things is she's brand new. The leather is so soft and I just love her.

I agree that the small is pretty big and holds a ton. It holds about the same as my Bbag city. I'm so glad that I found her because I always loved the Betties without the big rings. So I guess me and her we were just meant to be

Here's my small Betty patent bag in dark red from Fall '06. It retails for $1250. Totally in love, the color is awesome and it's just the right size. The only problem is that the front and back of the bag are identical so I get the pockets mixed up. But otherwise...yea, crazy about this bag. It's very light, too. I'm including two pics of me holding her. I'm 5'5.

Your bags are great-- I was wondering if any of you could post close-ups of the clasp, stamps, etc. like they do over on the Paddington reference library. It would be helpful for those of us who are trying to authenticate. Thank you.

She's fabulous! The perfect size for a shoulder bag!

I just purchased this Bordeaux patent Betty last week at Saks in Chicago. I think it is Fall 2006, but I do not know enough about this style. Anyway, It's retail price was $1850.00, but I lucked out and grabbed it for $725.00 and had it shipped home to avoid the sales tax.

I will post more photos up close when I have someone to assist me.
