You bought the large and small?! Is there any way you would post a pic of both of them side by side for comparison? I hate to ask that but I am trying to decide which one I want also. And there's 25% off today! Plus the KS website has the small one listed as wider than the regular beau!! Crazy! If you could, it would be much appreciated!! Thanks!! :smile1:

This is good to know! I thought I was the only one not able to find anything on it....usually when a new bag comes out there is buzz everywhere. I actually was lucky enough to get 25% off with a survey reward, so I ordered the large and the small and now dont know which to keep, if any! the small is adorable but I do love a big bag- but not the kind of bag you just cant bring EVERYWHERE! hmm, dont know what to do.

I thought I read somewhere here that the beau next year will include a shoulder strap. I wonder if that's true?

If they did the small version and added a shoulder strap, I think the beau would sell really well.

Well...I ordered the small beau today in black... maybe it will work for me... it might be too small but the regular size one was just so big. I don't need a bag that has a pocket for my non-existent tablet lol. I have an office job but I do not carry home files and paperwork etc so maybe a small beau will work for my needs. Plus with that 25 % off discount today I paid 298.50!! :cool:

Sorry I should have taken a comparison pic! Returned the large- I rather have a bag I could bring to dinner AND work and this is perfect. Also with the same items in each the bigger one was way heavier. I think you will be happy with smaller version. My son said the big one looked like a trunk with handles! The small is not wider than large and holds a real lot with being a hole......I love the discount too...

Oh it's no problem! I was just thinking if you still had both, a comparison pic would be super! If I don't like it, I can always return it!
Good to get your take on the small vs regular size though! Your son's comment about the regular one is too funny! He's like that is way too big! lol!
If the size works out I just wish it came in more colors! I don't do the light colors so black was the only option for me.
Thank you!!

Here's a Neimans pic of the small beau

I agree with jakeandmer1 as to they will probably have another sale coming up soon or a surprise sale! Also, I think if you sign up to receive emails you get 15% off! :smile1:

OK I recevied my small beau today and.... its going back. I don't like the leather at all. It's a good size though! I just didn't care for the leather, too stiff. oh well, no big deal.. it's not like I needed another bag! ;)

I just bought the large beau in black, the leather is hard but I was told that it would give after a while. Problem is I've already got a scratch on it! Ideas on how to fix them?

Does anyone have a lighter colour? I really want to get the pale pink when I go to NY next month, but am a bit worried that the colour will transfer etc.

Also will both sizes have the strap next year or just the smaller? I would really like a navy as well....

I looked at the pale pink instore, and I felt it would mark quickly but it depends what you want to use it for I suppose.
