Ah, well...the Hold Me would be more affordable, but if it's a matter of $100 more to get the right one, I could just wait a bit longer so I can swing it. I am a little leery of paying that much for a bag that I have never seen in person (in any form), but it looks very nice online. <sigh>
Hold Me, Love Me! Which bag for first BE?
- Thread starter ETenebris
- Start date
I saw one for $600 and one for $700...no great deals on the grey. There is a taupe for a good price, but I don't know that I want taupe right now. I would probably just regret not buying the dark grey. I also am not keen on the fuscia lining. Would really prefer the dark blue. But now I have a whole new shopping site, so thanks!
You can do a lower offer and see what happens. Most of the bags have been up for months and months (look at advanced details for list date)! I think some people forget they have listed the bag and don't do a price drop b/c they don't monitor the account that much (which is probably partly due to the price listed b/c a $700 bag is not going to get bites when you have the same bag listed at half that or BE runs special sales). With the price of bags lately, I would say a fair price for a Love Me is in the $3-400 range, depending on condition of the bag. There is even an exotic skin Hold Me for $700 brand new, even at the same $700 which was much more expensive than a standard leather bag.
ETenebris - do the bespoke! I did mine today, and I need someone to commiserate with while waiting for the bag!
I am planning to do the bespoke for the Hold Me, at least at some point, so we might be able to commiserate over that!
Did they tell you how long your bag will take? What did you order?
They didn't tell me how long yet, but I ordered a Maxi Hold Me, Orange Pebbled Luxe leather, lined handles, with a water bottle pocket. *swoon*
The reveal pics from the group bespoke killed me.

That sounds fabulous! What color liner? I want the regular size Hold Me in shark grey pebbled leather, dark navy lining, leather-lined handles, standard interior. I wish they had an orange lining fabric...that would be cool with the grey!
ETenebris, that sounds like the perfect bag for fall. I'm not a gray bag person, but that sounds gorgeous to me! I agree on the orange lining too - I was playing around on be couture, and I was looking at a dark purple Hold Me, and I thought Orange would be great for that too. Maybe I'll send Jackie a tweet!
I have no idea how long I'll be waiting, this is my first. I wonder what the norm is. Hmm...
I don't think I'd do gray. How do you feel about purple?

The Dark grey lining is darker and will suit better than the light..this is a bit more silvery and more like the shark.
So dark grey lining OR the dark navy...I love the purple, lanasyogamama, and if I do the leather handles (which I would on this bag) I could probably get away with that for a work bag. I have color "issues"...like to have some things really neutral (ironic, with all the beautiful colors BE has available!), but then I would also like to do something in the petrol matte and the orange, eventually! Or even the green...they are all so lovely! I think your orange with purple lining will be divine!
