Hello everyone!
I recently discovered that the Cabas Mezzo has been discontinued. It's always been a bag that I've admired, but never quite had that innate urge to purchase. But of course, now that it's no longer being produced, my mind is on it all the time!
My boutique no longer has any more, nor does the online shop. However...thanks to Addy and Lee69, I've found some authentic, pre-loved Cabas bags on eBay. Now, here's where I need your help!
Should I get the Cabas Mezzo or Alto? I've found both bags on eBay in great condition. I'm actually more interested in getting a bag whose interior is in impeccable condition; the reason is that I'd like to replace the vachetta on it, and I figured I'd save some $$$ by buying a bag where the vachetta is a bit more worn, but the canvas and the interior are clean and scuff-free.
I"m a 5'5" lady who loves big bags, but I want this bag to be practical. I have the Neverfull GM and I can't really use that bag for everday use because it is so big! My everyday bag is the Palermo PM. I've seen photos of celebrities: it looks like Angelina Jolie has the Mezzo (which looks great on her), while Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love-Hewitt have been papped using an Alto...the Alto is lovely, but it's BIG! Maybe it's because they are thin ladies
