Ok, my first ever introduction to BE was last year in the spring/summer sale or was it a special discount day at Harvey Nichols in Dubai, where I purchased my TMA in natural. At first I was contemplating the mottled gold TMA but then the tan colour just lured me over and felt more wearable and since then, even though I do rotate my bags and wear other designers I can't get over how luxe the leather smells and feels on my BE TMA. Plus I get more compliments wearing this baby than when I wear my other bags, with the exception of my Marc Jacobs stam hobo, again maybe because it isn't very common and not many people recognise it. This led me to my second purchase, a beautiful LM in purple glossy, and a third which I am contemplating on returning, a SMM in petrol, gorgeous colour and shape, but a tad too small for my liking.
