Forgive me for not posting my reveal immediately upon receipt! I've been intrigued by the bottle marcapunto Cabat since early spring this year. I had in mind a workhorse medium Cabat that is sturdy but not too heavy--and this seemed like a good fit. I've been using my orchid medium Cabat as my work bag, and it was perfect for warm weather because it's so lightweight and cheerful! But now that the colder, harsher, sometimes unpredictably wet weather is here (and my work commute involves standing outside on a train platform and walking outside for blocks and blocks to and from my office), I feel like my orchid deserves a rest until the spring.
I had a milestone birthday to celebrate (this was a while back), and my husband suggested that a new Cabat would be an appropriate gift. Isn't he sweet?
Because we don't live near a BV boutique, we headed to the NYC store during a visit to family in the area. I got to meet Bryan, who is just terrific and was exceedingly helpful, as usual.
Bryan noted that only 19 medium marcapunto Cabats shipped to the US. I had no idea that it was that limited here. I know this bag hasn't had a whole lot of airplay on tPF, but I just love it.
The bottle color is very difficult to capture in photos--it's not as shiny in real life. I would call it simply dark green. The outside photo shows how dark it is compared with the very greenness of the pachysandra (sorry, the grass went brown a long time ago). I think I'll be able to wear it with everything because it's so subdued. I think it's an elegant color. It looks great with my black winter coats, but it also looks great with my plum-colored coat. The color combination has inspired me to knit myself a new scarf (still in progress).
Thanks for letting me share! And here's a shout-out to my bottle Cabat sister sbelle!
