Since it's a forgone conclusion that I WILL get a cabat soon (in the mini, good thing I live in Asia), the only question remaining is color.
And since it will probably be the only cabat (actually, the only bag) I'll be gettng for a LONG LONG time, I don't want to regret a thing.

So my question is, does anyone know if BV will introduce any new cabat colors? If nothing next season seems interesting, I will probably track down an ossidato.
Any info will be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi there, just to let you know - there won't be any new colors in the mini cabat for the upcoming seasons. I believe Tomas is taking a break from the cabat right now. Hope this helps. I think you should get the ossidato! How much is the mini size in Asia right now?

chiaoapple, it'll be lucky if you can still track down an ossidato! I saw it IRL and I think it's so lovely!

i saw one at the bv boutique in takashimaya in Singapore... it's crazy expensive in singapore though.

I guess I saw the mini size OS cabat at Harbour City shop last week too.

The price for the mini Ossidato Cabat in Singapore is S$7810 - this was in April and I don't supposed there's any increase meanwhile.

WOW! If my conversion is correct, that is over $5700USD. In Hawaii, it's $4300USD. That is INSANE!

A lot of tPF'ers from Singapore were complaining about the huge difference on SGP prices. I see that the listed prices in Hawaii & HK are very similar.

Crazy. What is the price in HK?

Can't remember the exact price but as I recall it's a bit more than HK$33K so that's about the same as USD 4100. It was back in late April this year, but I don't think there is a price increase for cabats, right?

Quite similiar. You are correct, no price increase for the cabats!

i got my mini cabat in hong kong and it was about HKD 33,600 which made it about $60 more expensive than the ones in hawaii since the HKD is pegged to the USD.

Hi jeshika, but I think the exchange rate is always between 7.78-7.79 (vs USD1) in the past 6 months so the price difference wouldn't be more than USD20. Anyway... it's still a lot less cheaper than getting it in SGP (and that's the most important for us!!)

Hi jeshika again,
I just realized I had a typo in my earlier message, the Hawaii price quoted by bv.luxury is USD 4300, not 4100. That might be the reason for the discrepancy.
