Name after the bag

I was explaining the history of the New Jackie Gucci bag to one earnest looking customer who visited our shop. I like history and have an iniqusitive mind since I was a child. I often research on various topics which are of interest either in the library or asking my parents. These things are made easier with Google, Thank God for internet.

Ok, back to the Jackie Bag which is named after Jackie Kennedy Onassis, America's First Lady. I begin to wonder what do I have to do to get a bag named after myself? Here are some tips for your consideration

1) Be Glamourous
2) Befriend a designer
3) Wear the bag everywhere- especially to parties where celebrities will be. Stand next to them and have photos taken.
4) Befriend a Vogue or Fashion editor
5) Create a blog
6) Have a plan B: if all else fails, marry into royality and star in a blockbuster movie- not necessarily in that order.

When will I be famous?

Guess who's who?

We had our first Staff Cohesion last week at Bali Thai. The food was great, the conversation was fun. Honestly, I have not been out or had any group lunch for the longest time. I don't recall. And yes, I have no facebook, no twitter, no social time and many of my friends wonder how I live my life. Of cos, I do go out with a friend or 2 occasionally, but seldom in a group. Well, perhaps I am a borderline introvert.

All of us



So one of our conversation during the lunch was to give each other nickname after a designer. Somewhat an occupational hazards, we are talking about bags during our time off! Well, we have Hermes, Chanel, Proenza and Miu Miu. You want to pick a guess who is who? I do preferred to be called Dior though. I didn't expect to end up in 'mass' market name, or at least not some strange obscure name which I am thankful.

We have not had any comments from our readers thus far, hope someone is reading or following the blog. If you are, hope you like it.

Proenza Schouder

I can't emphasis how much I love Proenza! A friend of mine was carrying the mid-night Proenza clutch, double up as an evening bag and she looked totally stunning during a dinner function. She was wearing a short Cheong Sam and high heels...absolutely rockin it. It has so much personality, not any feminine looking clutch. I wish I could get her to send me the photo. :)

I am so tempted to get one for myself but am spoilt for choice for colours.



Clutch cost ~S$1200, available in thedeborahshop



Wear Pink on 18 June

I am having some problems adding a new page element or to create another box. I wanted to post a little note on our events and events are interesting. Can someone advise how to add the page element?

Anyway, one of our regular customer wrote an email, asking if we are really giving discount if they wear pink on 18 June. The answer is YES. So come on down to the shop on the 18 June in pink to enjoy discounts on all new arrivals. We want to celebrate together with the Pink Dot Movement, to support the freedom to love.

There will be a gathering at Hong Lim to mark the Pink Dot Movement on 18 June at 4.30 pm to form a circular dot to raise awareness about the issue face by the LGBT community. 

The new Jackie O bag- Gucci

Today the must have in our bag collection is definitely a Gucci. Thanks to Aldo Gucci who was very effective and aggressive in his marketing and left his marked in the Gucci empire for sure. One effective method of marketing is to sponsor celebrities to carry your brand, which Aldo did. The celebrities were wearing Gucci  outfits, including bags of cos,  heavily photograpghed and creating a worldwide buzz.  The company struck gold in the late 60s, when Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Amercia's First Lady of Fashion, favoured their designs.  

Gucci had since give a modern twist to the design of the bag, adding the iconic bamboo with an additional shoulder strap to give it another look altogether. However, the structure still remains.
