ETA: I was just looking at pics on BEs website and there's a pic of the purple pebbled RM Midi hanging off a bike handle. Maybe it's my imagination but my bag's straps don't look as long as that bag's in the picture. I'm betting mine might have been a mistake. Anyway, will update later! In the mean time I'm going to put heavy things in my bag and stretch the straps! LOL!
tlloveshim ~ oh good, good, I am so glad you emailed, and yes please keep us posted... I think about these things when I am not here and am always concerned! I wish I had one to measure for you right now!
I wouldn't stretch them just yet as maybe this is someone else's bag? Perhaps someone bespoked a bag with 2" shorter handles? I am sure if it's still in stock that Jackie will exchange it for you .... the color is gorgeous I have to say!
Seeing your group photo makes me CRAVE a LM in matte chocolate!!!! It's gorgeous.
And I will say again, the purple pebbled has incredible depth. Very pretty.
My honest opinion is that this is the bag you should bespoke in chocolate matte. Or the midi. I say that because the hardware against the chocolate leather is just so incredibly special, it is unreal. I've owned chocolate matte in the Hug Me, TMA Midi, LM Midi, TME Midi and full size LM. The LM is the only one I currently own, I sold all the others for different reasons. It's a BE classic.
Hi, Finz! Jackie confirmed that the strap drop is close to 9" rather than the 10.7" that the website says so it's a stock bag, just a website error. My disappointment is gone though and excitement has taken over! LOL! It was just my initial reaction when I tried the bag on and it didn't fit like my LM does! The other aspects of the bag won me over though!
The Black pebbled is gorgeous, congrats! It suits you great!
I also recieved my sale bags today..no pics I'm afraid ..there is snow and it's very cloudy outside, so it's impossible to take a decent pic.
I got a Pewter RM, a Purple RM, a Petrol Hug me and a Aubergine TME..
I must say the Purple is a bit more Purple than expected and also more heavy than my Taupe matte RM, so I def need a strap!
The Pewter looks like the old Pewter..so not that blingy w/ purple lining!
The Hug me is just lovely too with the light beige lining..yum!
..and the Aubergine..well, it's really a superb colour!
