I brought it a couple of weeks ago before it hit the stores, I am a frequent shopper at my local KS store and the sales clerk brought the bag out of the back for me and I fell in love. I had already seen the bag in Instyle magazine and new I wanted it. Only problem is the bag is heavy and with little in it your only option to carry the bag is on your arm or in your hands. Not a good ideal if your shopping or running errands. A great bag for work week, but not for the weekend. If your like me I need a bag that I can wear every day of the week being a busy soccer mom. So needless to say I returned the bag immediately the next day and purchased the Willowplace bag which is cute but no Beau bag. I have been debating buying the bag again and just breaking down and getting another weekend bag but I hate to have to switch bags every 5 days. But if you don't mind then the Beau bag may be the right one for you
 
I think I need to see the Beau in person. I love the look and details of it but I would have to sacrifice some of my current bags to fund it so I need to go to check it out in person before I give up some other bags! But I really love it so far! I'd love to see it in more colors in the future.. like GREEN! :)
 
I broke down yesterday and brought the bag again :graucho: for over a 2 weeks this bag haunted me ever since I returned. But reunited and its feels sooooooooo good!

Just wanted to add that I was checking out the photos on the KS website from the 2014 spring show and one of the models is carrying a white Beau and an attendee of the show (she did not appear to be one of the show models but may be affiliated with the brand somehow) is carrying a red croc embossed Beau! Hooray for more colors!!

I was into the all red version but now I think I want the pink/red/black one... Still need to see it in person.. hopefully in a couple weeks i can make a trip to an actual KS store or a mall that carries KS.. No stores where I live sell KS items.

I saw that! It appears that there will be a red and camel colored croc version of the bag for spring. I also noticed a bag shaped similar to the beau bag, but with no bow in the front and it was crossbody/top handle. Looks like spring fashion will not disappoint next year!
 
I'm 5 foot.. Anyone know if it will be to big for me? I've Ben thinking of the leopard one for weeks and may just break down and get it. The pink and red one can that be used year round?
 
I love this bag, I am planning on getting one in a couple weeks. Don't know what colour to go for, i think black. Unless the purple is a really vibrant purple, then i may get that one

the purple is not very bright, its almost like a matte purple, not overwhelming either. my friend purchased it and its beautiful in person
