Thanks for the pics, foxie-pooh. The ostrich cabat is so beautiful. One day, I'm going to SO one.
Limo? Marble? Large Croc cabat
Medium Peltro cabat
^definitely the matte leather. The patent cabats are soooo stiff and it sort of ruins the bag to me. I find the cabat special because it's refined but not stuffy, the slouchiness makes it casual enough. Also, the fact that it's an open-topped tote doesn't bother me as the bag sort of molds around the stuff you put in it and if you put it down somewhere, the top sort of flops over to cover and protect your stuff. The patent doesn't do that, as far as I know. I've played with one in a boutique but obviously not owned one so I can't say if they soften with time.
a quick q about the leather. r they resistant to water? i hate to check weather channel every morning
