hi ladies...

i love all the pics of the baby cabas. that bag is TDF.
i thought i "needed" the LV manhattan gm and was about to buy it but my aunt saw that it wa made in USA so she persuaded me not to do it. i thought the baby cabas would cost an arm and a leg but it's around the same as the manhattan....

i was wondering.. is the baby cabas really hard to find? how much is it exactly? please let me know because i think i "need" this one too.. heheeh

:graucho:

BABY CABAS!

I'm a newbie in the Chanel forum, I'm usually in LV. And I am in LOVE with the baby cabas. I like the Manhattan PM better than the GM; the strap that buckles over the bag on the GM would probably get annoying after a while, having to undo it each time you wanna get in your bag.

The baby cabas, on the other hand, is EXTREMELY HOT. :drool::drool::drool: What color are you wanting it in? I think the khaki is SO TDF! If only I wasn't a poor college student on a bag ban...

I think the Cabas is a much better investment. You can dress it up or down and it'll be so much easier to access than that strap that the Manhattan has... Also, I think Chanel doesn't "scream" designer the way LV mono does, which is a good thing to me.

baby cabas!! I love LV but now I totally love my baby cabas. I was never a fan of the manhattan, but I'd also say the baby cabas is a better investment. I think you just have to keep calling Chanels, NMs to find one. Probably black and white are easier to find. It's $1795 probably where you are, I got mine for $1845 though :sad:

I just returned a white one to Neimans in Charlotte around 4pm today. If you are interested in that color, try calling Natasha 704-442-7900. And to answer your question, I would go with the cabas over the LV :smile:

Baby Cabas for sure! I totally agree with Wicked's post plus I think I heard the Man GM does not patina evenly. If you want a brown bag then go for the khaki cabas it, blows the GM away!

hm, i actually like the manhattan pm more than the gm bc i imagine that strap really driving me nuts, even though it looks good on the bag. i'm also a huge marc jacobs fan so i'm a bit biased that way.... but in this case, i'll go with the cabas in khaki!

Hmmmmmmmmm...I'm voting Manhattan GM...I think that bag is TDF...and more classic than the baby cabas...

I do love the baby cabas too, so I really don't think you can go wrong either way...

Good luck with your decision and let us know what you pick! Can't wait to see pics of your new bag - whatever it is!!!

This is a funny question because I am sure if you go to the LV forums, they will tell you the exact opposite of what the majority is saying here. LOL Anyway, I say Baby Cabas because it is all leather, which is so amazing. The Manhattan is not. Plus you won't see everybody walking around with the Baby Cabas.
