Beatrice is estactic that her bags made it into Gentry's first annual style guide where a 10-page spread in this special September issue was dedicated to preview this fall's must-have! In the fashion section, senior editor Courtney Carter chose to highlight Beatrice's romantic yet chic "Scarlett" bag and the ever glamorous alligator "Canto" bag to start off the season and we couldn't agree more on her excellent choices.

Tips from Beatrice
The color of your custom bag is more important than you think. The right color can transform your masterpiece from looking just pretty to perfect. Here are some tips from Beatrice on how to make sure your color selection process goes as smoothly as possible.
Fun Colors Versus Safe Colors

> New York Versus Miami
Where you live has a lot to do with your color decision making. You might be more tempted to order a lime-green colored bag if you live where the sun shines everyday while foggy San Francisco presents a different picture. But if you're one of those who travels around often, then your safest bet is to go with a darker version of whatever color you've selected. Dark maroon, dark brown, dark green are colors that will work for both summer and winter.

> Personality Type: Modern or Old-school
You have to decide on the adjectives that best describe your personality and taste: feminine, classic, conventional, flirtatious, or bold. Once you've determined your style, the design and color of your piece become more visible in your mind. Imagining yourself in a power suit with a Concorde bag or a flowery dress with our Monaco bag will suddenly become effortless.
There, you're already two steps closer to your beautiful piece.

> Confidence! Confidence! Confidence!
These suggestions are just a few tips to simplify the color selection phase. But honestly, there are NO RULES! Just go with the colors you think will put a big smile on your face everytime you pick up your bag. Nothing is sexier than a confident woman.
So be confident and have faith in your decision. You know your self best and your decision, combined with my guidance, can only be right.

 
With these tips in mind, ordering a custom-made piece just became much simpler. If you have any questions, Beatrice would be more than happy to answer them. She can always be reached at 415-750-9910.
