Of all the designer bags I've ever seen, BE just captures me!!! I'm thinking of starting to save back for my 1st BE and want some advice.
I love all the leathers they use, and think the craftsmanship looks like a true WINNER! I just have a few questions.
#1~ Why is it that they have SO FEW bags in stock for purchase? Is it like this all the time, or am I hitting them in between seasons?
#2~ How long have you had to wait in the past for your bag to be finished? Is this something I'll be waiting months for??
#3~After you've put down your deposit, do you pay along the way while your bag is being crafted, or do you pay all at once when it's done??
#4~If there is a certain color/bag combo you want, are they pretty good about working with you?? I've seen the couture option, but I don't see a choice for color!!!
I'm sure you're all aware that the jump from COACH to BE will be a big adjustment for my wallet. I want to make sure I get it right, as I won't be able to exchange this bag at the outlet!! KWIM?! LOL
Also: I carry ALOT (Lg. Sabrina is the perfect size bag for me in COACH) which current styles would be my best bet? Also, what features do you all like the best? Bottle pockets? Studs or crystals? Extra tags? I already KNOW I want the extra long leather tassels!!!
Thanks for the help for a newbie. When I first discovered BE I went looking for pre-loved and found FEW, not that I know a little more about the brand I understand that!!!
***I'd also love to see pic's to accompany an suggestions you have!!***
TIA ladies!
