I saw the new Coach Ergo bags!
Previously I wrote about the new Coach Ergo bag collection that just launched in the USA.
To my surprise (and I might add that it was a very pleasant surprise indeed!) I actually saw the whole collection (and more!) at the local Coach store in The Gardens just last week! Talk about fast.
Needless to say, despite being hungry, I just had to pop into the store to check out the bags. Its never a good idea to shop on an empty stomach you know… you might just end up buying something you regret!
Weekend Thoughts: Where do I find nice oversized clutches?
I’ve been obsessed with the idea of having an oversized clutch ever since I watched the controversial cult movie “Lust Caution“. I found the movie plodding mainly due to my poor grasp of Mandarin and because the subtitling on my copy of the DVD was terrible!
But that did not detract from the visual feast of vintage fashion that was ever present throughout the movie. I was most taken in by the oversized clutches that the main actress played by Tang Wei carried throughout the film.
They looked so classic and elegant and because they are large, they look like the could fit a ton of stuff in there. She ably demonstrated this in one scene when she was throwing all her cosmetics and little things into her clutch. I love the idea!
I’ve been looking locally for a nice and affordable large or oversized clutch since then but to no avail. Some of the clutches I see here have a cheap feel to the vinyl or patent leather. Does anyone know where I can find a nice leather or canvas oversized clutch whether in Malaysia or an online store that ships internationally?
Stay beautiful,
Coach launches the New Ergo collection
I received an email from Coach today announcing the launch of the new Ergo bag collection. A while ago, I wrote about being taken in with the Coach Ergo shoulder bags. The ones I was looking at were these:-
As far as I know, the Coach Ergo hobo is one of Coach’s classics, which is the first bag on the left. The other 2 are relatively new in the collection.
To boost the Ergo stable, Coach has come up with even more designs and colours. Continue Reading >> Coach launches the New Ergo collection
Stella McCartney for LeSportsac
I’d known about the upcoming Stella McCartney for LeSportsac collection for a while. I was reminded of it again a couple of weeks ago when a sales assistant spoke about it, saying that the Tokidoki for LeSportsac is discontinued and will be replaced with Stella McCartney and that prices will be very high.
When I was down in Singapore over the weekend, I happened to chance upon the Stella McCartney collection and snuck a picture.
The bags don’t feel like regular LeSportsac bags. The nylon is softer and there’s almost a satiny quilted feel to it which is nice. The collection seems to place emphasis on travel with a collection of travel bags and camera bags which also double up as handbags. The bag designs are unique and do not come in the regular LeSportsac line. Pity, because I’d have liked to see some of the regular bags come in the Stella McCartney print.
The Stella McCartney prints veer towards the pastel with one exception of the pop print, which is bright with splashes of orange and bright blue. It is the print in the picture above. Otherwise the others are rather muted. The bunny backpack is in the Posh Print.
I saw in my most recent Isetan mailer that the travel bag in the picture above is priced at RM1,800. Are you shocked? I am! Then again, its expensive for LeSportsac but cheap for a Stella McCartney so I guess its a toss up.
The Stella McCartney for LeSportsac collection is available at all LeSportsac boutiques and counters.
