Thanks for a great interview!

BE makes deer hide bags (cervo)? How did I not know this?

And I would love to have Megs do another interview with Jackie about the company’s charitable work. Something else new.

Love the LMM and can’t wait for the jewel tones!

Jackie’s committment to her customers and providing impeccable service is above and beyond any brand in existence. You will never find a brand more willing to work WITH you to make you happy instead of just getting your money and leaving you high and dry. I recommend Belen Echandia to everyone I know! Thank you for bringing personalised luxury into the handbag market Jackie!

I cannot WAIT for AW09 jewel tones!!!!

My last five handbags have been BE. The were all beyond my expectations. Jackie and her staff are wonderful and easy to work with. I can’t say enough about the BE experience!

I went to the site and everything was out of stock. I guess that is a good sign for them….

Fantastic interview, thanks so much! Jackie is an amazing representative for BE…they are my favorite handbags, bar none. I love the fact that she is so conscientious about the craftsmanship and tradition behind the bags. I also look forward to the my next BEs. Congratulations on your success, Jackie! It is well deserved.

Wow. I didn’t realize that Belen Echandia sells deer (cervo) skin bags. I didn’t see them available on the website.

Finally, an interview I want to read. Jackie’s designs are wonderful, the leather smells so good. What more can one ask for?

I absolutely love my BE handbags and am so impressed with the quality. The stitching is perfect and the leathers are outstanding. I also really love the site; there are always new features and things to read and new happenings.

I see more BE bags in my future!

What a great interview! I recently got into BE (having mostly dabbled in Balenciaga with some straying into LV and Chanel), and I have to say that I love the personalized service with BE and the ability to customize a bag to MY specifications. All my bags have had incredible, soft leather and that amazing leather smell. I couldn’t be happier!

I too encourage anyone to give BE a try … I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

I can’t wait to see what the future holds with this company!

I have to disagree with you tamara. I love the updated website and find it both aesthetically pleasing, as well as optimized for search engines, which I think is very important for online businesses.

I’ve found BE handbags to be of impeccable quality, and even with high expectations, mine are always exceeded when I have the bag in my hand. BE has a great return policy & I encourage everyone to splurge on at least one of these handbags!

with those price points, her website could look much more professional. Tacky site. Makes me not even want to browse
