Oh, and for which handbag I'd like to have, it's the Belen Echandia, Love Me, in either light purple sheen or light purple matte and with a shoulder strap. That's the one that I intend to order soon in the BE Couture section. It will be a birthday gift to myself. As for many of the other handbag companies, I've basically become tired of most of them. I just happened to learn of BE when I accidentally came upon this forum.
