Everything DIY-excepts making those bags

The most frequent question I've been asked by numerous people, " how on earth are your bags ~ 30%  lower than the boutique?

Below are the answers
1) We import all our bags from Europe. We get special prices for each and every bag we bought, more than just the VAT rebate. In short, even when you shop in Europe, our prices are still better. We have many customers who feedback that they went Hong Kong and Europe to buy bags but none are cheaper than ours.

2)  Our shop is in Novena Square, Velocity. A heartland mall, not downtown in Orchard. Therefore operating costs are therefore lower.

3) We do everything ourselves including taking pictures and updating our website. All done these are done at home with a computer. Not professional. So pardon us! We are improving along the way.

4) There are only 2 staff in the shop.

5) Our shop is not very renovated, just minimum.

6) We dont serve in suit and gloves

Having said that, our bags are brand new and authentic. We will refund in full if any boutique in town said otherwise with a letter of cos. We take it very seriously and they can sue our pants off! We guarantee our bags are all original.

We do apologise if we appear as if we are selling pre-loved ( second-hand) bags. Nothing is second hand, except perhaps our prices.  So start your bag collection at our shop :)

Featuring Fendi Shopping Tote

Working in the shop all weekends just made me realise that I do have a lot of time at hand when there's no customers. I used the time to clean up the shelves, work on the display and putting things in order. I also understand the bags on the shelves a little better as I do have time to ponder what if I own this or that bag, what will I put in them, what occasion will I use it..etc. I inspected all of them, to know if they are well made, good condition and see if there's any defeats or if there's any spot that need polishing. I can do this for the rest of my life.

Ok, I picked 3 bags today as my favorite bag of the week. They are well made.  Leather trimming all round, including the corners and base of the bags, those are the most vulnerable spots. The shoulder straps are slim so it can fit on most shoulders, even the slouchy ones. It has a top zip so the contents in the bag do not fall out and for added security if you are going for a holiday. Light weight fabric so you can put more things in them, especially your shopping if you are trying to hide from your husband.
Lastly, they are at a good price too! Check it out!

2 new bags.

Gucci 269956F8J1G-$1400

Prada BR4763, ~$2400

New arrivals in the shop that caught my eyes. The Gucci is limited edition. I am not sure if it is sold in S'pore, perhaps. I like the gold dust look, especially the heart shape charm with a little bamboo to complete the IT look.
Next is this Prada Sacca. It has 2 zipped side pockets and 3 open compartment inside the bag.  Ok the colour: Pietra. Ok ok, it is like stone colour, very unique, unlike the usual black. The bag is so well made. The shoulder strap has a cushion so it wont hurt your shoulder if you have too much to carry.

I like to think that our bags are unique and prices are good. Recently, I found that that our mini, micro and nano Celine luggages were the best priced in S'pore. :) Better than the online shop. I want to say we are proud as we can bring cost saving to our customers. Everything from are done by ourselves, including taking the amateurish photos and descriptions. Hope we will improve.

Prada at $1500-$1700

Check out our new arrival Prada. It's made of distressed calf leather and deer skin, simply no frills to it, very practical bag with shoulder strap and just some gold hardware- zip and logo. They come in variety of colours and size, but one thing for sure tt is value for money.

Scheilan Firenze

Scheilan Firenze, never heard of? I chanced upon it when I was re stocking bags in Europe. I was looking out for a brand/shop that only specialise in evening, wedding bags, fill with embellishment and rhinestones, crystal..etc. And here I found this boutique that does just that.

Their bags are unique and not too expensive. The above bags are going at $350 per bag. Check it out on our website.

Bottega Wallet- only one left

114076 V001N 4014

The only Bottega wallet left in the shop. It s a Bottega classic wallet with full zip around. Ample space for credit cards, notes and coins. Did I need to say more about BV? The material and the unique weaving...etc. I guess there's no need for any introduction.

How to tell a woman by her Handbag

Got this book from a friend, titled" how to tell a woman by her handbag" by Kathryn Eisman.It is an interesting read and it certainly has a sense of humor. I browsed through the index to find a bag I have and find out what it tells me about me. It is a bit like horoscope, describing about personality traits.

I have a Fendi Spy bag for ages, think it was back in 2005 or so. I am still using it on and off till today as the bag is big enough to hold my daily essentials. Here it says, just an abstract.

" the girl carrying this bag is not just a spy, she is a true fashion insider. She is permanently tune to fashion , probably a fashion victim in her own rights. She's a career girl but you wont see her standing behind a counter and tied to a desk job. She has long girly friday lunch 'meeting' at resturants. She can get in just about anywhere because she's friends with the PR girl who secretly run the city.
You can call her pampered and spoiled to the core, but unless you are connected enough for her to give you her mobile number, you probably wont be able to call her at all"

Well, I think it is somewhat true to what it says, except the bit on knowing PR girls. I wish I know more people and have more friends in connected areas.
