Okay, so I've been on a never-ending quest for the perfect black day bag. I've probably gone through ten different purses, starting with the Balenciaga First, and ending now with the black MBMJ Dr Groovee satchel. Lately I've been feeling like the MBMJ is a little too wide and big for my taste...then I ran across the BE Hug Me. Such a simple purse, but I like simple.
Someone on the BE subforum just posted modeling shots, and now that I see it on, I kinda think it resembles the MBMJ in a lot of ways. And if that's the case....should I spend $650 on a bag that is essentially the same as my MBMJ? Does anyone here happen to have both bags or know enough about the leathers to know the difference? I'm particular about leathers, and tend to think softer is better, so if the BE has a much softer leather than the MBMJ (which I find kind of thick and rough), I might get it despite the price difference.
Here are pics of both, as well as the link to the modeling pics of the BE:
