dolphingirl, gemibebe, MNS, goldenflower, ReRe, and doloresmia, thanks for all your sweet comments.

ReRe, it's ebano, my favourite BV classic colour.

doloresmia, I've taken only one modeling pic so far at the LHR lounge. It sits perfectly on my hip when I shoulder carry it!

Mid - I love your Mini Cabat. I have to say, that it is certainly bigger than I thought it would be. It appears to hold a good bit.

Congrats on a lovely bag.

Congratulations! Your ebano cabat looks just gorgeous.

Appreciate the comparison pictures of the campana and pyramid vs. the cabat (mini). The mini definitely looks like a great size....

Attachment 817096 I was in quest of my first cabat ever since I saw the iced tea (rame) mini cabat at the Ginza boutique in February. There are far too many colour choices I would have loved; rame, ottone, parma chevre, oxidized copper, and maybe reflet, but it was C_24 who made me re-realise how amazing BV's classic colours truely are. Of course, anyone who have talked about cabat here at the BV sub definitely helped my decision. Oh, and on top of that, this beauty came originally from bv.luxery's hands. So, thanks all for being there! This is truely made of tPF love!! Now, onto some important pics. Attachment 817104It carries my everyday essentials and some extra stuff with ease. Attachment 817105Comparison - medium campana - new pyramid - mini cabat Attachment 817106Campana fits in mini perfectly, LOL Attachment 817107Pyramid snuggly fits in mini. (well, sort of.) I agree with blueiris, there is nothing mini about this cabat if you look at the size. I think the naming was to appeal the Asian, especially Japanese customers. We lurrve anything and everything tiny and cute, and mini cabat even sounds like a cute little hippo in Japanese, LOL. I'm no exception and love calling this mini cabat. Hope you don't mind, blueiris. It's just so perfect in every imaginable way for me; the size, the colour, the ease of use, the simplicity that brings versatility, and the incredibly beautiful workmanship. I am determined to use it without babying it, so for the first time I sprayed it. I will carry this everywhere, everyday, and forever. Tomas Maier is so right, "it's engineered, functional, aesthetically pleasing, beautiful inside and out - and it works." Thanks for letting me share!!

congratulations. i so agree with everything you say. especially using the cabat without babying it. it is very strong and durable. really a perfect bag.
enjoy. your bag looks fantastic on you.

Oh, Mid, it looks gorgeous on you!!! It does have your name on it!!! The scale is just perfect!!! - and the color is TDF!!! -I can never resist good chocolate! Your family is really beautiful... it would be hard to choose which to wear.

Thanks for the dimensions. Do you think that you could wear it as a shoulder bag over a coat?... I am in love!

[blueiris]

So glad you're enjoying your mini Cabat! It's such a beauty. It looks terrific on you! I agree, it's such a perfect bag. I take mine everywhere with me.

I keep looking at your ebano photos. So gorgeous!

I'm not Mid-, but I can wear mine as a shoulder bag over a coat. I tested it in April, so I was wearing a non-bulky sweater under a medium-puff down coat. I did not try it with a bulkier sweater with my super-puffy down coat (which is like a sleeping bag with sleeves and a hood).

Congrats on your new bag, love it and planning on getting one soon myself.

Love the classic color you picked out.

Thank you, piperlu, leilani01, annie9999, Baggiana, and blueiris!!

annie, I read your posts about your cabats in different threads again and again, and wanted to use mine just as you would with one of yours, nonchalantly. <--- in a most positive way.

Baggiana, you said it's got my name on it and it certainly did! Thanks so much for your enabling!! I just took out my thickest down coat and shearling coat and tried my mini over my shoulder. No problem. I wasn't wearing a sweater underneath but I think it would still fit OK, could be just slightly tight maybe.

blueiris, I'm happy to be your small cabat cousin!

[juzluvpink]

Congrats! I agree! There is nothing mini about the mini cabat! I wish I can own one too! Enjoy your gorgeous bag!

[CX827]

[jelts]

The Cabat is lovely! Congratulations!

And thanks for the size comparison pictures. It gives a girl something to think about.

It is beautiful, Ebano looks great on the mini cabat.
And the mini cabat looks great on you.
It is really classic and classy, perfect size.
