So I placed myself on the waitlist for cruise '10 red jumbo and maxi in red and now I am seeing the red patent and I don't know what to do. I didn't know which one I would get so I waitlisted for the maxi and Jumbo. But now, I am thinking maybe the patent would be a better choice. I can't afford to both a patent and a caviar. I also haven't had time to go to any trunk shows to see the bag in person. So what should I do? I also wailisted for the blue in lambskin as well, so I definitely can't afford a third jumbo. I have never owned a patent bag, so I don't know how to take care of it. I also don't know how easy it will be to get a Jumbo patent at this point. I hate choices!!!

I love both but a caviar is definitely easier to take care of and perfect as a everyday bag. That's why I'd go for the caviar. Good luck and please let us know what you decide

gosh i have the same headache now !!!

I sold my fucshia jumbo anticpating for the 10 C red but i have browse some threads that says it aint as bright as imagined :(

But my SA sent pictures of the patent and it is AMAZING !!

It seems that he says that is is easier to score a maxi than jumbo since usa only got in 15 units of the jumbo ( anyone can verify with their SAs) .

I have the 09 A fall red jumbo but i don't know how it measure up against the 10 C red ..

Oh god !!

Do you have a patent bag? How hard is it to take care of?

I'm not wild about flaps, but I saw the patent red at the boutique the other day and even I found it hard to walk away without it! So if you are a flap lover....... IMO PATENT RED all the way!

Jaded81 · Oct 24th, 2009, 10:37 PM

I prefer caviar... but the patent is stunning! I think it comes down to what kind of material you would prefer.

shadowyi · Oct 24th, 2009, 11:02 PM

Oh.. my... gosh. That patent is mouthwatering! It sounds like you like bright colors, go for the patent! The '10 red does seem more dull.

Tooomz · Oct 25th, 2009, 01:06 AM

I voted for the Patent. I love it but torn between getting it or a white flap that will be easier to match.

I love both but I voted for caviar as i see it as a long time classic which will never go wrong !

nighteyes · Oct 25th, 2009, 01:46 AM

I voted for patent... The color is GORGEOUS! The 10C caviar red doesn't seem that much brighter than the 09A's.

simp · Oct 25th, 2009, 04:05 AM

Patent wins it all especially if u r not concerned abt maintenance. For me, i dun think i can handle patent so i wd choose caviar for myself

Deborah1986 · Oct 25th, 2009, 07:09 AM
