Apologies in advance: no mods pics.
After weeks of hesitation, finally got myself a Cabacity yesterday (in black and Hunter canvas)...only to bring it back today for a refund...
It's a beautiful piece of design but I find it really impractical, just too big with the shoulder strap for the removable pouch way to small.
Got carried away in the store and walked out with it only to have second thoughts immediately after getting it out of the box at home.
After a near-sleepless night thinking about it, I've now decided today that the bag really does not fit my needs and has to be returned. So it's now carefully wrapped up again (hence the lack of pictures), ready for a journey back to central London in a few hours time when the store opens.
Lesson learned: I'll stick to my Steve but might try to get an Evelyn which I've seen modelled on here very nicely, for a touch of color...

I love the cabacity but it's too big for me too. I'm glad you planned on returning it, otherwise it would be a great waste of your money to have it sitting around in your closet.

The Cabacity is also way too big on me. I love the idea but I wish it would come in different sizes. But at the end of the day, if I'm going to reach for a tote, I'll still probably reach for one of my birkins. I concur with you gents in full!

For my H Tournis streak ....
Yesterday at the H store they had both versions of Tournis AND both in my size (M/T4), so I was being naughty and got both :)
Love all the H Bleu (with a few exceptions .... )
H Tournis Tressé in Noir / Colvert

Oh geez. I need both!!! [emoji46]

I agree. I gave the Cabacity a try recently but found it too big on me too.

Cabacity does come in differant sizes!!!!! There's a size 41!!! In blue indigo and blue paon pouch. Just ask your SA. It's kinda rare but 100% there are size 41 out there.

I love the subtle design but personally I found the Cabacity too heavy with the hunter leather.

The Shark Bolide in barenia is the perfect size and weight for me :smile:

NBS SM was extremely pleased to take the Cabacity back from me as, according to him, he'd been trying to get one in stock for a while. Funny thing is that within seconds the word has spread around the store that some mad guy was giving his bag back and a few of the mâle SAs came around trying to make me change my mind.
One of them recommended a new cross body apparently called "Sac à Dos". Wasn't on display but he offered to get it from the back for me. Shame I didn't have enough time to view it. Anyone here heard of it? As " sac à dos" just means backpack in French, I'm wondering whether he wasn't just confused. He did however assure me that it definitely wasn't a CityBack which I would have taken straight away!!

Haha, it's amazing...but like 40-50k -___-. There's a Cityback 30 in Plomb Taurillion in San Francisco right now!

Here's my Cityback 27 in Plomb Taurillion, I love the Plomb color. It's like graphite but with a blue base.

40/50K $ or £? I'll have a few for that price. I'll have to loose weight afterwards though since I'd have to sell my flat and move into the bags.

Thanks OrfeoRH for the picture but isn't that an Herbag?
The CityBack is a beauty. Why is it that you seem to have much better stock in the States than in good old Europe???? I'll start citizenship procedure tomorrow but somehow I think I'll better wait another 4 years...
