i'm gonna say get all three....bc i know you really, really love this line...obviously it's hard for you to choose. you can always reevaluate at a later date whether you are equally happy with all three, but for now, if you'll use them all, and you love them, and can swing it $$ wise, go for it!

I really like the baby on you from the photos you shared earlier on. Thought the vinyl was a bit big for your tiny frame. Maybe the original might work better.

For durability and longevity's sake, in terms of style, I would ditch the vinyl and keep the caviars. Caviar is soooo much nicer than vinyl, IMO.

i am not a fan of vivyl, but the baby and original is kinda similar. i love the original better. i'd say kepp em all, but if you have to choose 2 out of 3, i'd say vinyl and original

I vote for vinyl and baby cabas!!! As I have a vinyl and a bronze baby cabas myself!!!

I love them!!! I think vinyl is really good to use when is raining and is easy to clean. I love the original caviar one too, but baby cabas would be great to use when you don't need to bring so many things out and I love the diamond stitching as well.

^ seahorse, what have u decided on or which two are u leaning towards...or are u leaning towards all three...

It seems like u prefer larger bags....yet from ur pics, the baby cabas on u was TDF!!! It looked perfect on u!

What do u think of the vinyl...is it worth the splurge for a vinyl? hmmm... just wondering if it is something I would want to get in the future....

i myself voted for all 3

yes, i prefer larger bags and at first i thought that the baby is too small or my taste but i still give it a try and bought the bag without seeing it IRL.
and when it's here, i honestly loving it.
and i think it's actually big enough for me and can fits everything i want to carry, it doesn't hurt my shoulders.
but i'm still not totally in love with the diamond stitching
and my greedy greedy self still "wants" the original cabas leather LOL
i'm not even talking about needs here ha ha ha

i think the vinyl is one of my great investment too, although most people think it's trashy, i think it really rocks
i love that it's a hassle free bag, i like that it's different, and if you'll ever going to purchase the vinyl, try to get one in retail price or just a bit slightly over retail. i still can't justify the price on eBay on the vinyls.
i's just too crazy!

so the conclusion is, for 1100-1200$, the vinyl is worth all the money.
but for 1500 and over, better invest in the leather one

I love the Patent : so gorgeous and practical when it's raining...
So I would say please keep the Vinyl :)...
And add the Original Cabas to have 3 Cabas bros ...
But if you are not confortable with the size of the Baby, sell it to fund the purchase of the Original Caviar Cabas...
And tell us what you decide :)

of course i say all three. hehe. but i do think the baby and the original are too similar to have both, and if i had to choose one of the two for you, it would be the baby. i love the original cabas myself, but the baby just looks soooooooo soooooo good on your super slim self, girl! :) and i say keep the vinyl one, because judging from your pictures, you have a really great, easy, comfy, hippy, boho style and can definitely rock the huge vinyl bag!!!

i was looking for the original cabas but just wasn't willing to pay so much over retail on eBay, so i decided to get on the list for the baby cabas and see if i can get that one at retail... (since the baby, you still have a chance of getting it in stores.)
and i got the soft & chain hobo in black, in place of the original cabas. :) and i am happy. the soft & chain is BREATHTAKINGLY beautiful in person, if i do say so myself! heh~ you might want to consider that one in addition to your existing baby cabas and vinyl cabas.

fromparis, i do agree with the vinyl on rainy days LOL, and actually i'm loving my baby
maybe i'll add the original to make my cabas triplets, but i think i'm going to wait until the prices on eBay is not sky rocket high

bearkeeper, i have considered the soft and chain too LOL, but i figure the soft part is too "soft" for my out look
and i'm pretty sure i will keep the vinyl anyway

georgina, thank u for the opinion
