And if so, would you be so kind as to post pictures of them together pretty please?
I am about to dip my toe into the wonderful world of Mulberry but I am torn between the 2. I keep swinging back and forth from one to the other and am no closer to making a decision. I've read lots of reviews, watched loads of videos and looked at so many photos I'm going dizzy. Sadly I can't get to a shop to see them in the flesh, it's going to be an online purchase - I don't have the funds available to order both at the same time and send one back so if I don't like it and have to return it then I'll have to await the refund before I can order the next one (not the end of the world of course but would be a bit of a pain).
SBS pros:
It's £200 cheaper (I'm saving for the bag so this would mean I would have it a couple of weeks sooner!)
Can be carried in the crook of the arm (my preferred way of carrying all my bags)
I prefer the leather strap to the canvas on the Cara
Cara pros:
It's bigger - the size of the SBS is concerning me, is it big enough? I'm not very tall but I'm not skinny either so I'm a bit worried that the SBS will look too small on me.
I like the details - the Made in England on the base, the heart shaped tag.
I like that they're all made in England
I like the different ways it can be carried (the but canvas strap does bother me... )
So, looking at all I've said above... I'd like a Cara that's the same price as an SBS (this is definitely the least important point though), but that can be carried in the crook of my arm but with a long length leather strap too <sigh>
If you do own them both, which do you prefer and why?
