INFO on CARA: Hi, I'm new and can't yet create a post. I have this info on the Cara range, which may be of some use to those considering the Cara. I haven't included figures for the Mini, but some members on here have a range of Cara Mini, so they could perhaps weight theirs and finalise the list?
These are Mulberry's figures for weights of the following CARA bags. Note that Cara comes in Oak and Oxblood in large, although this isn't shown on their website. I am very surprised about their weight for the large blue camouflage bag, as this seemed considerably heavier than the large black quilted bag, while the large Oak seemed the lightest of all. The sales assistant said it was the 'hardware' on the blue camp that made the difference, as neither the Oak or the Oxblood have external zips. But that doesn't make sense as the quilted bags also have external zips. Maybe nickel is heavier than shiny gold or brass?
By the way, although on the website the large seems enormous, in real life it really isn't at all - it seems just right and completely normal. I fell in live with the large but worry about it creasing horizontally down the middle, which in my opinion just wouldn't be right for this bag.I asked if Mulberry anticipated the large Nappa to slouch, and what about care of the goat skin. They replied: 'Leather is a natural product so over time it will soften and slouch, however as you have mentioned the quilted material is more structured therefore will appear to slouch less. To care for the goat skin we recommend our Collonil Waterstop spray which can be purchased in anyone of our stand alone stores.'
