I've spent the whole of yesterday looking for a decent bag that won't send me straight to debtor's den, to no avail. If anyone would kindly sponser $1000 I will thank thee from the bottom of my saddened heart.

Showed mum the current designs I so desire. If only she would see the light in these worthy investments.

Allow me to illustrate. If you don't like bags then don't read on. It's another one of the incessant gushings on some leather goods.

Fendi Selleria Leather Linda Bag!


I think this is pretty! The stitching is a work of art, and they say Selleria leather is crafted using ancient Roman techniques. Wow.
What is important: it's a limited edition, means no random people in town will be swinging this one around! Conspicuous consumption indeed.
The price is just a whatever-nicetomeetyou-byebye $2,170.

The brown one is a lot nicer than the ebony. But mum still thinks it looks like an undertaker's carrier. Hmmp! That means "forget it".
Try explaining that it has a gorgeous suede interior, and holding it with so much love. But no.
Man this sucks.


This one I do not like. Not at all. It's the one every celeb must have, which I do not see why. It's a little hideous. Like a choked monster rat spray painted in gold.

Fendi: fall/winter spy bag 2006



I have a Fendi Hobo chef from the fall/winter collection, not that its very pretty, but its functional. Function is beautiful.

Enough Fendi's. They are way out of budget. So I looked towards D&G for possible bargains.



Now this one looks sensible. It has none of that excessive D&G logos splattered about it. Understated. The nice thing about it is the leather. Good quality leather actually lasts. You can't tell from the picture, but I've it, and it does look solid.

The not nice thing is the price: $1249. darn it. :X
Why are the nice ones all so expensive ugh.


this one is at least a more sensible $887. and it's a nice shade. Lighter than dark cacao though. Some firmly believe Asians should never carry anything lighter than cacao. But what do they know.
And its leather. No funky tiger prints or crocodile scales that scream excessive opulence. We're not from the stone era man, give the crocodiles a rest.

Lastly,

this is the Dolce and Gabanna costing a cool $1159. I found something that looked like it at taka for $129. Ha beat that.

Now my mum goes into a heart attack. I'm just kidding I didn't really mean to buy anything. Until the day a 50% discount hits D&G will I and should I consider. (:

Off again, go I.
