Hermes Kabana/Cabana owners, I need your advices, please!!
- Thread starter Pias
- Start date
In the back of my mind I have a price of €2400. I do not remember how or why I would think about that sum.
Hello, lovelies!! I'm sorry for bumping this old thread but I've recently discovered the kabana/cabana model and I'm beyond intrigued!
They're found to found but I've narrowed down my search to these three lovely browns. Please help me in deciding? I'm not usually a brown bag girl but these three colors are gorgeous!!
1.) Not sure what leather this is, the listing did not specify:
2) A gorgeous Barenia:
Due to the leather there are more visible scratches on this one
3) Finally, a dark brown in swift leather:
Seeing that I will be using this as mainly a work bag - the dimension is perfect for a laptop and some books, it's not too bulky as too be too heavy, thin enough to look good on arms. This would also be my first H bag and I LOVE a good discountinued bag as I like to wear something different. Again sorry to bump such an old thread - apperciate all the comments

If that's really Barenia, and priced well, you're getting a large bag in an expensive, premium H leather.....I wouldn't think twice.
I think that the first bag is swift or gulliver and the third should be buffalo. I have a buffalo and I like it. I would always choose bareina first, then the buffalo, the dark brown is lovely. I like the cabana, it is very versatile... a little heavy but a lovely shape and comfortable to use. Good luck and have fun!Hello, lovelies!!

Thanks! I wonder if too much wear and tear would be too much on the leather? I can see all scratches will be visible on the leather - would it be a problem when it rains or snows?
Thanks for the clarification!! I know that dark brown is soooo lovely. I'm usually not a brown bag kind of person and it's surprising that I like it. I really like the Cabana model as I've been looking for something that's not too bulky to wear over the shoulder. the prices on these aren't that bad either so it's a nice first H bag.
Hey wilmi!! Thanks for remebering!!! I was actually very drawn to the Bareina even if it had scratches, I thought it added a certain flavor to the bag and made it all the more unique. But UNFORTUNATELY, when I was ready to pull the trigger on it the bag had been sold
Oh well, a lesson to everyone (including me): if you like it get it right away otherwise it could be gone. Thanks for the help ladies, much appreciated!
My cabana in fjord weighs 2.4lb or 1.1kg. According to this thread, buffalo weighs less than fjord.
Weights of different leathers
Oh goodness... Thank you for sharing! I may really need to rethink the purchase. It is a beautiful hardy leather. It is water proof. My old bag looks brand new. Hope I have not confused your decision.
