I'm a backpack-big bags-kinda-girl and this is the first time in 25years of my life that i went out to window-shop for handbags.
Doubted that i would find anything suitable but i just dragged myself anyway...along with best friend, Sri (Thank you darling).
Headed to Orchard after work (best bet cos u can find EVERYTHING in Orchard and anyway, we wanted to look for some other things..like toys for Akil's presents and CDs/cameras for Oppa's present.if not,i don't think i would even be there at all.haha.).
When we reached Orchard, we were still kinda clueless about where to go..what to look for and we just wandered aimlessly, in and out of malls just scanning through the gazillion bags which comes in so many different brands, sizes,shapes,colours but none of those captured my attention to even go near and touch it.
I noticed some other shoppers carrying bags from popular brands but....i was telling myself.."Why pay so much for those branded stuff which everyone else is carrying and there's nothing special about the design anyway.They all look the same."
And then.........we saw these bags by Marc and Jacobs(was actually drawn to the shop because of their beautifully designed jackets and coat.:P). Nice, sleek leather bags in simple no nonsense colours and designs....i like quite a few designs but the price tag was about $700 and above (still within budget but...i wouldn't want to spend that much on the bags).
Browsed around some more...until finally....we saw this DKNY
tote.
It's big..enough for me to fit in my "thrash" haha, it's simple and the design and size fits me. Sri said she can even picture me carrying it even in jeans and tshirt.The best thing is...price tag: about $500.yeay!I tried it on..looked at myself in the mirror and i love it!
Even when we proceeded to other mall..the bag still caught my eye and it was like screaming "BUY ME!NOW!"
Of cos i didn't but the bags there and then but now...i know what kind of bag i want for myself! :D
DKNY Shopper Totes!!!!! :D
