Because I love the Rootote and Paris…

November 30, 2008 Paris B 15 Comments

… I got me one with a map of the city of Paris on it! 😀

Rootote Paris

See the Eiffel Tower! See the Arc de Triomphe! See just how cheesey it all is when I tell you I’m called Paris B! 😀

But no, my moniker was not the reason I got this – I do love Paris and I have been hankering so badly to go back its not funny. Maybe if I carry around a bag with a map of Paris on it and wish hard enough I might just find myself heading there soon? One can but hope…

This is my second Rootote after my first one I got the first time Tiny Tapir brought them in. These things are addictive! This one called “Capital” is in a 16oz sturdy cotton canvas which is different from my first Rootote which was polyester. Thus, this new one is more pliable and because its slightly more luxe, has a magnet closure which I find incredibly useful. The base and handles are smooth PVC. The handles feel a little shorter but it still slings comfortably. It was RM70.

Rootote Capital Paris Map

While I was in Tiny Tapir, I also saw another Rootote in Tuta which is even more lux. It is laminated so it is waterproof and I love the metallic silver/gold touches on the handles and trim. It is seriously cute and I was so torn when I had to walk off without getting it. I’m telling myself I can only have one so perhaps I’ll reserve that material for another time LOL… Now, will someone just go and buy it already so it doesn’t mock me every time I check out the site?! 😛

    Hey this was my very first choice too! I wasn’t sure of the quality of the bag back then, so I got a conventional black one instead.

    Zis one is tres chic, dahlink! 😉

    Very lovely! I was checking out Artbox if there were new ones brought in but no…there is another shop here that sells and is available online but I haven’t checked them out. I think I know the metalic one you’re talk about. I like that when I saw it on the Rootote site.

    That’s one cute bag! I’ve never heard of Tiny Tapir until I see the link here. They’ve heaps of cute bags.

    I found your blog a couple of days ago and now am bookmarking it. I’m a Malaysian living overseas and it’s hard to find the prices and availability of cosmetic brands in KL since my friends who are living in KL are mostly guys or girls who aren’t so crazy about cosmetics like myself. 🙂
