I tired the baby Cabas in the store (twice) and I'm kind of sorry I passed it up... but I certainly didn't find it heavy. Not as heavy as the MC.
I was wearing a light winter coat and I could fit it over my shoulder. It wasn't perfect, I would have liked an extra inch in the strap... but it was definitely do-able.
I don't find it to be heavy at all. It's heavier than my Balenciaga city bag, but a lot lighter than any of my Marc Jacobs bags. For me the straps fit over my shoulder quite nicely even with a coat.
oh dear. Just bought one off ebay and now I'm hearing it's very heavy. Is it possible that's referring to the not-baby cabas? Baby cabas owners please report in!
paid $2095, so not too bad, considering I had no tax. I looked everywhere, and finally just gave up on retail. W/ tax retail would've been around $19-something. There are some sellers getting more for them.
^Its NOT heavy at all!!!
I have two baby cabas(Teal and Black)..and Im VERY close to getting the Khaki too cuz its the most FAB BAG!!!!
CONGRATS! You will adore it!!
