Hi all - Do any of you know if the Belen Echandia BST group still exists on Facebook? I used to belong to it but now Facebook says that content is temporarily unavailable. I don't know the reason for that kind of status. Anyway, I know this is the MM forum but lots of Marco's former customers here too. If you know anything about BE, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hi @Vanilla Bean! I don't know anything about the FB group (see @tenKrat's response for her input), but just wanted to mention there are a few BEs currently listed on eBay. I think I know the person who is selling the Hug Me; she's reliable from what I have seen.

The BE BST group on FB is unavailable likely because it was inactive for a long time?? As far as I know, there is little to no BE activity on other resell websites. The few listings on eBay are very old. Same situation on Bonanza, another resell website that was popular amongst the BE ladies here. I don’t know anyone who uses Bonanza anymore. I’m surprised it’s still around.

I'm surprised there isn't enough activity to support a FB group. It seemed like there were so many people who bought every style in multiple colors...such that none of them got much use. I bought a bag about a year ago that looked brand new.

Yes, Bonanza really has faded away and Poshmark seems to have taken its place. I'm not crazy about the Poshmark website - it seems a bit wonky to me.

Re poshmark - I'm not a fan about the social aspect of it. I just want to sell and buys things, not take part in some kind of online party.

Marco got back to me with more detailed pictures of his red leathers. I'm leaning towards pompei...

I posted them on this thread:

Massaccesi Leather & Customization Reference Thread

Modena Midi, hand carry version, in black Fiore, dark gunmetal HW, light blue lining. At an extra cost, I added an exterior back slip pocket in which my large cell phone fits.

Thank you for sharing these photos! Do you know what leather the Seta red is?

I am considering a softer, non-Pompei Astra Hobo. Maybe in Cuoio Toscano and without the buckled top strap. But I don't know whether it is a good idea...:-s

Will it have a similar look to Hermes Evelyne? Or will it collapse on itself and look miserably unstructured :confused1:

I'd love to hear how your soft Astra Hobos are holding up.
And mod shots ...(or even "door-knob" shots)... with some contents...:hrmm:
Pretty please? :flowers:

This is the bag and the photos that have been my inspiration :biggrin:

How is it holding up, @southernbelle43?
Can you show me what it looks like carrying, say, a heavy wallet (or something else small but heavy)?

Hi all,

i think I decided to go with the red pompei for my little athena shoulder bag. I think it’s the most care free and durable leather and it will look great with that structured bag. So excited!!!!
Now for the lining... i’m torn between the red and the beige, what do you think?
I will also order a messenger strap, to make it crossbody

One small problem (well... problem...) is that I LOVE the Theia shoulder strap. I will ask if it can be made in the pompei leather and put on that bag, although I would understand it if he refused since maybe it changes his design too much.

The only reason I am not ordering yet is because I’m saving for a card holder in red as well... my excuse is that my vintage fendi bagette is quite small and doesn’t fit my regular wallet. So I have been on a hunt for a thin wallet for a while... is that enough of an excuse? Hehehe

Can I ask, does Psot Italiane stops tracking once it is out of Italy? Cos my shipping status has not been ipdated since 23rd. Thanks!

There will be a bit of a gap in updates whilst your parcel is in transit. Once it has arrived in your country, you should be able to track it with your local postal service using the same tracking number which probably gives you more detailed information. But the poste Italiane tracking is also updated.
