i adore them............a perfect mix of functionality, edginess, and destined to be a new classic, imo. may have started out as a trend but will not end up as one....too perfect a style and size. i have the black vinyl which i really don't count because that one is a trend (but i love it) and will pick up my first baby cabas in dark silver this coming week. then i want the patchwork leather or green if the "green rumor" is correct........... in the fall
