I have this bag in black and I really like the look of it. It has been sitting in my closet since the beginning of November. Due to other purchases, holidays etc... I have been using other bags.

I know that if I return it I will have "the one that got away feeling". I remember Swanky's Lady Braid story too well.

Just want to hear if anyone who has this bag has any comments before I cut the tags!

I do really love the chunky look of this bag. I think it goes with so many chunky things that are in right now (like wedges).

Here's mine:

ah, i know how you feel, i had the MC flap (i love flap bag) but sold it in order to save for my baby cabas. i love my baby cabas but i still feel like "the one that got away..."

I have this bag in red and white. It's GORGEOUS. I love it. I have been carrying the red one since buying it. I will break-out the white one for Spring. Only draw back is that it can get heavy because it's all leather, including the interior.

i have the square tote. Its black too and i love it (yes it does get a bit heavy as smooth said)

But it's just understated and goes with everything. My mum didn;t even know it was a chanel until i told her :smile:

Smoothopter -- how is it holding up for you? is the leather soft and showing marks?
I'm trying to decide between this one and the Luxe bowler -- and to be honest am totally stuck.:shrugs:
I wish my bank account was fatter ....

I have this exact bag in black and absolutely love it.

I originally wanted to get the oldder cabas in black leather with the double Cs on the front but couldn't find them anywhere. Then whilst looking through the forum I saw Smoothoprter's pictures of the red and white and fell in love.

I use this bag a lot and agree with the others that the only drawback is that it can get heavy bbut I love it and laways get complments on it.

Also, it has the added bonus that being so large you can fit everything in it.

I like the chunky effect of this bag and am looking forward to the summer when I can wear it with flip flops, a vest and shorts.

I'm biased, but I think you should definately keep it! :yes:

Let us know what you decide.

I have the red N/S tote and as much as I adore it, it IS very heavy! :shame: The heaviness did not affect me that much until I went travelling with it. WOW my shoulders started to ache. But I still LOVE it :love: sounds kind of masochistic LOL

I have the red tote and it is one of my favorite most carried bags. I hope to get it in black too at some point. All my bags are heavy since I love big bags so it doesnt bother me. My birkin is about the same weight when I load it with my stuff.

I have to agree with everyone else. I have the n/s red tote and absolutely love it! It does get heavy, but I just think it's a beautiful bag. I would never get rid of mine. I'm sure they would be hard to find now.
