One of the designer handbag brands that I like is Coach.

While I was wandering in the Gardens Mall at Mid Valley City last week, some guy promoting HSBC credit card distributed a product booklet filled with photos of luxury items from various designer brands, including Coach.

My eyes were immediately locked on these two Coach bags.

Bleecker Canvas Tote – RM1,600!!!

Perfume Print Top Handle Pouch – RM950!!

*Sigh* Nice to see, nice to hold, but not a nice price to pay.

If I really wanted to own one of these – I mean genuine ones, not the imitations :P – I probably had to get another part-time job with high return, say, selling life insurance may be? Haha!

In reality, however, I think would rather spend RM1,600 on a vacation in Bali. :P

My Malay and Indian ex-colleagues used to call me ‘che che’, which is the Mandarin term for older sister.

Then, only yesterday, as I went window shopping at The Gardens, I realized that Che Che - more precisely Che Che New York - is a designer brand that carries very pretty and creatively designed bags that every gal would dream to have a few of them hiding in the closet. ;)

See for yourself. How can one not fall in love with these cool and chic 2008 Spring/Summer handbag collections of theirs ??

What you see here are just a tiny part of their collection. Gals, you MUST visit their website to FEEL what Che Che really is! I bet words like “Oh, so cute!”, “Ah, how sweet!”, “Gosh! I want this!” would blurp out of your mouth as soon as you saw their collection of handbags and coin purse. ;)

Simply lovely! :)

(And expensive!) :(

Wow, it seemed like trillion years since I last posted here! :)

Sorry for the huge post gap coz I was back at my hometown. Internet access was limited and I myself was so caught up in shopping, haha!

During that trip, my sister showed me a website that I’m sure fans of branded bags will love. And it’s mainly targeted to Malaysian fans!

If you are looking for the latest season or limited edition bags that are not available in local retails, you can spot them right here at this website, PrettyDeal.com. You order, they import for you.

Brands carried are Coach, Juicy Couture, Chloe, Prada, Dior, Fendi, and DKNY. Currently, there is a sale going on for Coach bags, with discounts ranging from 10% to 55%!

I myself like this Coach Chelsea Signature Wristlet (discounted priced is RM320, with free shipping) since I’m looking for a new wallet.

However, guess I have to dismiss the idea of getting one coz I have overspent recently! :( But if you like designs from Coach (or the other brands), and happen to have received a big, fat bonus this year, hehe, then you shouldn’t miss the opportunity! :D

I’m obsessed with bags more than with shoes or clothes. Whenever I read women and fashion magazines, these will be the pages I spend most of the time reading. Not that I can afford any of them, but I use them as ‘reference’, so that I can buy bags with design alike but are 100 times cheaper! ;)

I like bags with simple, square-ish design, with many pockets or compartments for practical reasons.

First of all, I can put the three most important items into the bag – my wallet, PDA phone and Nikon Coolpix 5900 digital camera.

After that, what follow will be – apartment keys, a packet of tissue paper, facial oil blotting paper, a Za compact foundation, a small bottle of Olay White Radiance moisturizer, one or two lip glosses, a compact mirror, and a pen.

The above are the minimal things I have to carry with me everywhere I go. ;P

If the bag is even bigger, I may also put in a blusher, a note pad, or even a pocket-size book. Sometimes a bottle of mineral water, too.

The second reason why I like simple designs is because they can match with almost any semi-formal or casual outfits, which I mostly wear nowadays.

I find designs like these few bags from Coach are very suitable for the above reasons. Very suitable for me, hehe.

They are priced between USD650 to USD1,000.

So, no way, I don’t think I’ll ever buy any of these. Even if hubby got so damn rich one day and were willing to buy one for me, I would rather him give me the same amount of money. Then I could spend the cash in whatever ways I like.
