I agree here too! My only complain, like others have mentioned is that it doesn't come in Bashful Or black with teal lining...
About the All, I love the internal organization, but I find it the strap and flap bother me a bit. Lots of these points have been mentioned before as well.

I also have to add that I LOVE the wide strap on the all and wish that all the bags had nice wide straps like that. I don't know why that strap doesn't get more love!
Ditto!
I love the thick strap too... wish the tween had the thick strap. The thicker strap seems to twist much less.
I think adding any metal to a bag is going to greatly increase the price point. Not worth it IMO for the mighty since if you need a zipper or more organization you can buy a Be Prepared. Those can be carried as a tote like bag (when you flip the zipper part back and tuck it in). Plus the be prepared provides you with the messenger strap, d rings, etc.

Re: The Be All and MightyBe
I would love it if the mighty had some mesh pockets inside. As for the BeAll...I don't know. I just started carrying one occasionally so I don't have all that much experience

I totally agree with this. I think a zipper would ruin it.
I agree too. I love being able to just reach into my MBs.

PLEASE don't get rid of the flap on the Be All!! I love it! I agree with a PP who said get rid of the mommy pocket and just put in a small zip pocket like on the BFF. the mommy pocket doesnt bother me, because I have no use for it, I put everything I need in my Major inside the bag, so I wouldn't care if it was gone either! I've never figured out what exactly I was supposed to put in the front zip pocket...(where the mess shuttle goes), but I don't know what else you'd put there...a mommy pocket would just make the flap not able to close properly And I LOVE the wide strap and how it makes the bag feel weightless! Swivel clips might be nice....but not if they're going to increase the price or make the strap narrower! I think that's pretty much it...I absolutely love the Be All! My favorite bag... Oh and please don't get rid of the mesh pockets! That was one thing I disliked on the BFF, you could only put in there what fit just right, nothing slightly bigger/wider. Possibly you could do a non-mesh pocket beside the inside zippered pocket...or better yet put a pocket in front of the zipper! Then you'd have two non-mesh "front" pockets, and the rest mesh! Best of both worlds Now that I think about it...I'd really love two non-mesh pockets there...one in front of the zipper pocket and one beside it...hmmm....
I don't have much to say on the Mighty Be...it's perfect how it is I think.....now if you were asking about the BP....

I love hearing all the sides! If I had to pick a few things only on the Mighty Be that would hopefully not change the price too much and not change the tote/light weight spirit of the bag I would narrow my list down to:
-a key fob -change the middle pocket to either a long pocket (like the blossoms) or 2 short pockets (like the EL MBs) -and maybe 2 medium set sized mesh pockets on the inside of the bag on either side.

I agree. I don't think I would ever use a zipper on my MBs. I use them for bulky things so it would never even be able to zip up
I have never had a Be All so can't comment on that
As for the MB... I would remove one of the inside zipper pockets - reason being I usually put stuff in one of the zipper pockets and then always get confused about which pocket it is in (front or back) because they look exactly the same (.... even better.... maybe one of these pockets could be mesh so you can see inside )
And I love all the outer pockets, the long and short ones are amazingly great. As far as the large outside pocket on the back of the MB, I think it would be great for that to have a magnetic snap, as the little snap closure is fiddly, but I deal with it because I like the look of having this pocket closed
THanks for listening!

Re: The Be All and MightyBe
All: I only have an older model with the 3 mesh pockets and they are too smalll. I know you changed that already. Don't use mommy pocket or front zipper compartment under flap. I prefer BFF
MB: love it the way it is.....just keep it under $50, lol. Maybe a WB style keyfob, not scrunchy kind. No biggie though. I have 3 and love them!

Re: The Be All and MightyBe
For the MightyBe I would love to see solid colors in fabric. I desperately want a MB to use as a swim bag for my sons, but no way is my husband going to carry any of the current MB prints or and earth leather bag.

Re: The Be All and MightyBe
All: Narrower strap or at least option to use regular messenger strap with it. Get rid of mommy pocket inside flap (would prefer to see front pocket be a mommy pocket instead). Maybe make it a little bigger? It doesn't hold that much especially if you put stuff in the internal pockets.
Mb: I like it as is. Matching messenger strap as an optional accessory is nice but not necessary. Would love to see it in steel EL. Maybe also offer a "mini mighty be" - like a tote be light, only deeper like the mb.

Re: The Be All and MightyBe
I love my all just the way it is. I love the strap, I love the flap. I love the mesh pockets. I love everything about it. Love love love. I learned how to pack it just right for my 9-month old DS.

MB:
-Key fob -Zipper (with the option to completely unzip so the bag can still open all the way when stuffed) -Either the long middle pocket or two small middle pockets (I feel like the short middle pocket on the Fabric MB's is wasted space) -Inside mesh pockets -D rings -Padded messenger strap
you all have really awesome comments thank you!!!
not to "pick one" to comment on... but here are some concise and easy comments to ask questions on... adding all these things (and other things that you have suggested) would be awesome..but it's going to increase the cost-sometimes quite a bit so maybe you all need to tell me the max you will pay for one
and re: the middle pocket comment...yep-agreed it's wasted space but here is why we did it... right now it's all one big rectangle of fabric...niiice no print break up. stick a patch pocket on the top of it (like the earth leather version) it's going to look really awkward...we figured if we did that...we might as well get a better yield and make all three segments a different pattern piece...i don't think many of you would like it do you get what i mean? haha i feel like i'm rambling anyway...
i really appreciate all these comments...I can't believe we have four pages already...i love you ladies!! xx

IMHO the whole point of the be all is that it has a flap (there are still ways to improve it-but removing the flap is not one of them) there are still many people in this world that like messenger style bags. this is the messenger style bag so don't fret my dear. and i'm just researching for future...if any changes happen it will be awhile you know how far in advance we have to work!!! i haven't read every comment on here.. but do you ladies want a zipper closure in addition to the flap? does anyone (that is a fan of messengers) get nervous that their stuff is going to fall out if the bag tips or something? that is one thing i'm super curious about.
and ya know what... go for it...tell me what you'd change about the be prepared...doesn't mean that we are going to change it but what if the point you make helps in designing other bags!
ok i'm going to say it. LOL tell me about every bag hahah (but start a new thread and link it in here?) i bet there are already threads out there for each bag isnt' there?
