For the Love of Bags

This is the bag in question. I wrote about the Greenwich Leather Bag from Banana Republic a while ago. At the time, it was new and going at full price of about RM890 or something similar. The Banana Republic store in The Gardens only had it in Black when I decided to get it with an American Express 15% discount.

This very same bag is now going for a hefty 40% off at Banana Republic! I am so tempted to get it but it’ll be nuts to seeing as to how I already got myself a couple of new bags recently. But still… 40%!!! It brings this wonderful leather bag into an affordable price range. The leather is beautifully soft and supple and its roomy but not large.

Temptation… will someone please go and get it so I don’t see it again at BR?

I can’t decide , can you?

In Ivory Epi leather. Its roomy and structure and hangs nicely from the shoulder. Its also not abominably heavy. The thin shoulder straps bug me though. They feel and look insubstantial when compared to the rest of the bag.

Louis Vuitton Lockit 

I like the handles. It looks and feels substantial. I also rather like the design. It comes in epi red and black and ivory. I’d skip the ivory although it does look lovely in white. I know i’d just dirty it in no time! Black is a nice safe colour although red could be awesome for a bright spot of colour. I wrote about the Lockit MM previously. The Epi leather version doesn’t come in that horizontal design unfortunately.

Sigh…
