I voted for the red caviar because I've never been a fan of patent on bags..I feel the ultra glossiness/shininess takes away from the timelessness of the bag..

The red patent is super special and gorgeous, so my vote is for that one!

So I decided on the red patent GST and red caviar jumbo flap. I already got the GST, just waiting on the jumbo. Hopefully either my SA from Nordies or Saks will come though!. I can't believe I just bought 4 bags (still waiting on a blue jumbo)! I could have gotten the birkin I have been dreaming of oh well.

Good for you nycdiva! You have to get these bags before they sell out, and the Birkin will still be around next year

IMO wearability is the key factor in making a decision here. The red patent is spectacular, but because it is such a statement by itself(and if done in a huge chunk such as either jumbo or maxi) you'd have to wear clothing that's austere. Caviar on the other hand could be a basic staple for just about everything. GL!

Red caviar is so classic - red patent is definitely a showstopper, but I wonder if it would turn yellow over time (lighter-coloured patent bags sometimes do).
