Belen Echandia recently celebrated the anniversary of BE Couture where you can build your own bag and select the features just as you like it. I was fortunate enough to win one of the codes they gave out during their month long celebration.
Just what bag did I build?
A Charm Me in medium purple matte leather. The Charm Me is a new bag for me so I am excited to share it with you!

I added silver studs along the front and back...this is my favorite add on of this bag. It gives it an edge and makes it pop.
An additional feature I added was making the rounded handles with a bit more "puff". I carry my iPad a lot so the extra padding in the straps makes carrying it extremely comfortable. The strap drop was also extended by two inches.
And who doesn't love a little flare? The tassels click together in a subtle way that...well...I love it.
I chose a light blue lining for my Charm Me which I adore with the purple matte leather. I added an extra internal pocket so I have three together along the front of my bag-great for those small items that can get lost.
Here is a shot from the side; the depth is perfect for carrying my daily essentials with room reaming for my iPad, stuff for my children, a sweatshirt, or a water bottle for a longer day out.
The Charm Me is in my top 3 BE ranking along with the Make Me Smile and Tote Me. The zipper closure is so useful and the square shape accommodates many things I pack. The dimensions allow me to carry what I want and push it behind my elbow when worn without it being so long that it knocks into things when carried. It is incredibly comfortable to carry and the color is a perfect neutral that matches a lot of my wardrobe.
