I don't have a Coco Cabas, but I get ssssooooo many compliments on my red MC tote. It's a big eye catcher. The weight doesn't bother me because I don't go door to door by trade. I pretty much walk from my car to my office and back in the evenings.
^^and how many shopping bags filled with gifts for Monica were you carrying? or is that just how my Christmas shopping goes?
there was a prior thread that asked this
The MC was more sophisticated yet still had edge due to the chain and therefore more versatile for work and casual use in my opinion. I found the lil metal logo that hangs on the Cabas to be annoying. In the long term ignoring trendiness...I think the black modern chain will meet my needs for a large black tote better. I just couldn't afford two huge black Chanel totes....if I could...I'd probably keep both.
:busted OMG, you know me too well already. I always get one thing for myself for every one thing I get someone else.:shame:
You must have had the large Cabas? It was a lot larger than the MC, wasn't it?there was a prior thread that asked this
I sold my black leather Cabas bag and am buying a black leather modern chain tote instead
I did like the Cabas but for the money I figured I'd get more use out of the modern chain. I barely carried the Cabas for the month or two that I had it. I got far more compliments on my red MC tote and I have been carryign almost everyday since I got it.

Does your MC tote go easily over your shoulder or is it the same as the Cabas?
I think it's very smart to think about the long term when purchasing any expensive bag. I won't touch some of my trendy bags from years ago, but I do keep reaching for the bags that are in a more classic shape.
