Celine Sangle or Phantom Cabas? (with mod pics)
Hi lovely PFers - I tried on the natural calfskin Sangle & the black small Phantom cabas today and would love your opinion on which you prefer for an every day bag.

Hi all, I'm contemplating buying the Celine Small Cabas Phantom for my 'everything' bag (but predominantly work - think laptop, gym wear, bottle etc.) and I have heard from one girl that stuffing it heavily can make the shoulder straps dig as they're rather thin.

I have a lovely straw bag in that style, similar size. I’d highly recommend you use an organiser or some kind of lining bags so you can find your things in there. I use 2 small cotton bags with drawstrings to categorise my things when carrying mine.
Anyone has this bags? Can you share with me the pros and cons? And if the leather scuffs easily? Any other idea of how to make this bag more secure? Thanks all!

I hope to get a Sangle in black at some point, I have one in grey and find it a workhorse, really love it. As mentioned earlier I have three Phantoms in small, I love both styles.It’s a really pretty grey. Excellent choice. I just bought the black larger Sangle and already have the small Cabas Phantom in grey but just use it as a travel tote. The Sangle will be a casual bucket bag and I think that fabric strap works best in black.
For what it's worth I have the grey and purchased it pre-loved so I don't know how much it was carried, but my strap isn't showing any sign of soiling.Having second thoughts about the black large Sangle. I have a gap in my handbag wardrobe for a taupe neutral color and am thinking of exchanging the black for taupe. My question is, is it difficult to keep the lighter-colored wool strap clean? How would you clean it? Can you order replacement straps?
