Everyone's comments have been really helpful, and this one really struck me. You shouldn't have to talk yourself into a $$ bag. I do like both very much, but there are good reasons to not keep ether (Cabas too long, Pandora easily stained and may be too stark for my mostly black wardrobe). There are some other bags I'm really interested in right now, so holding out for one of those is probably the right thing to do. But they are both lovely and will be hard to let go of!
good choice, theres ALWAYS another bag around the corner to fall in love with and will make you swoon.
I did return the Celine after determining it wasn't right for me...but I'm having a hard time returning the Givenchy. It's just so pretty! It's different in color than anything else I have, though dye transfer does worry me. I tried to pack it up to return it but couldn't do it. Perhaps that's a sign?
Pandora hands down. That cabas leather won't last long.I recently bought a distressed Givenchy Pandora in the sand color (light peachy beige with slightly darker veins throughout) and a Celine zipper Cabas in black. I really like both and they are very different, but I only want to keep one. I already have a lot of black bags, making me think I should pick the beige Pandora, but I already have a Pandora in black and I fear this color may be too summery.
Which bag do you prefer for me? Is the Cabas too long? Or... feel free to say neither!
Thanks so much!
