Small Cabas vs. Modern Chain Tote

my colleague has the small cabas and i have the modern chain tote-

there is a definite difference, the cabas seems more stylish and fun as oppoped to my MC which seems like it maybe less "trendy". they are both gorgeous bags. the MC is much heavier and the leather feels maybe "thicker"...

i intially went to purchase the cabas until i saw my MC...
