I agree about it not getting dirty. The variation in texture and tone will actually hide wear really well. Slinky gets to officially come out on 11/3--my 50th!
Get this one and then we can borrow each other's bags! Hahahahajaajahaha!

We should have a BV library [emoji16]
But what do you think re: this black/mist/NLG cabat? This one is about half the price of Slinky.
Another possibility is the sapphire fuzzy. They still have a few.
There is a sorta library threads
Look under the stickies there is a cabat one and a color reference etc
I thought you had said the cabat was a pale pink like petal that would get really dirty
The one from this season reminds me of pied de pule

Such a great story. Thank you for sharing and reminding us how lucky we are. Sending little Bella log of thoughts.
I'm not surprised you did this, as your generosity towards people is also well known to me.
I saw the new cabat awhile back. For some reason it reminded me of a Coco Chanel suit. My first reaction was that it would be perfect for someone who lived in NYC....I think because it initially looked very dressy to me. But the more I see it, the more I like it. Since you live in SF, I think you'd get a lot to use out of it. It's colors are some of my favorites. I also think that it would be seriously stunning with all white or all black outfits. I can picture an all black outfit with that bag to set it off. Or an all creme outfit with it. Maybe you should take it on consignment and try it on with some of your clothes and see how it would work. A cabat would certainly make a great BD gift......
You are a good person G
A princess among ordinary people
Not only did you help the little doggie and their owners you were kind to the staff at the veterinary hospital
They would call you a Mensch in Yiddish

So for me it was never a question of which is better or prettier. I knew I wanted Karung. I wasn't even considering anything else.
You're in a trickier spot because you have an option.
What do I think of the Mist Cabat? It's just beautiful. It caught my eye immediately, and, to be honest, it gave me that 'uh-oh, did I pull the trigger too soon?" feeling for just a moment. It has a graphic element and yet is quite soft. I think the handle color is good choice. Black or the cream would have been too stark.
If I had concerns it'd be the following: a) would I be limited to wearing it with black grey or cream? I think not. I like the idea of this with color. But I think I'd be hesitant to wear this with any sort of stripe or print. (I'm not sure if Karung would fair much better though). b) Is it year round? For you, in SF and the amount of international travel you do, definitely.
When someone asks 'which one" often, and in this instance, I'm going to stick to my typical response: Neither.
J, they are both beautiful (as would be a Sapphirre fuzzy), but it has to speak to you and while you think both the Karung and Mist are amazing (and they are-one could argue you can't go wrong), they're not speaking to you. Or better said, you have some, albeit minor, reservation about each. And in this instance we're talking about a 8-13K purchase. It HAS TO BE AMAZING. There has to be NO QUESTION. So wait. You'll find it. It might take a while but you will find it.
So here's the thing. I wanted a Karung Cabat. After I went to the stitching event in SF last November and saw the exotic bags, I was awed by the beauty of Karung. I didn't pull the trigger on a bag there because we were just kicking off our remodel and I wanted to be fiscally prudent. But I didn't stop thinking about Karung. I actually reached out to the Carmel boutique about a special order Cabat in Karung in early February thinking it'd take about 8 months to get it (the stitching event had a lovely shoulder bag in what appeared to be New Sand Karung). So you can imagine my surprise when David reminded me of the SS2015 Cabat series. It was just a question of making sure I loved the Pale shade--which I did.

Well thought out reply. As usual. Thanks G.
I like the Karung because I like the texture.
I like the tri-colored one because it's very versatile and definitely goes with my wardrobe. It won't go out of style.
I like the craftsmanship of the fuzzy cabat but the sapphire color will require some effort in the morning [emoji28]
Oh no! Well, it's a pickle you're in. But what a nice pickle to be in!
The good thing is you have a good rapport with the SF boutique so consigning 1 or more of them probably won't be a problem so you can try them on at home. I think the Karung would look really good with Nickel...
If you do decide to consign the bags to check them out with your wardrobe, I'd love to see some modeling shots of the different bags with various outfits.
Fuzzy Cabat is heavier than the tweed Cabat, and the two side cannot fold in. But it is a fun style! I have one in Resina.
Fall is my favorite time of year. Sacramento doesn't really get 'Fall-ish' until October but we have had a bit of a taste with cooler evenings this week. The real teaser is Bodega Bay where it's quite a bit cooler. You're in NJ right?
Yes G I am in NJ
September is usually the best month here
Up until now it has been really hot and humid
Seems like instead of 4 seasons now we have only 3
Winter/ Summer/ 1/2 Fall 1/2 Spring
Spring and Summer are so quick you barely notice them
The humidity has been brutal but it is finally easing up
