Christmas Shopping in my dreams

December 14, 2008 Paris B 14 Comments

Tine did her virtual Christmas shopping on Polyvore but when I tried to go there to do my virtual shopping, I was simply boggled by the choices available for the many many products. So, I opted to prepare my wishlist manually and decided to concentrate on my favourite fashion item – bags! 😀

Bags of my dreams
  • Save

Yes, this is certainly purely dream shopping as you can tell (from the top):-

  • Cole Haan Genevieve woven triangle bag
  • Louis Vuitton Montorgueil PM bag
  • Louis Vuitton red epi leather zippy wallet
  • Celine Boogie bag in blue denim
  • Chanel Classic 2.55 in lambskin

Ah for bottomless pockets and infinite income at my disposal… Now that I’ve finished dreaming and ogling, its time to get back down to earth and do some proper shopping 🙂

Oh, I happened to walk past Coach last week and saw they were on sale. Selected bags were 30% off which puts them into “nearly affordable” range. Lots of the pleated leather Ergo tote bags available. I also happened to see an adorable light pink bag in the window, which was what prompted me to venture in in the first place. The window had a sign that said “Limited Edition” which piqued my interest even more. After some online research it turns out that the bags were part of the Coach 2009 Resort collection. 2009? We are barely out of 2008!!

Coach Resort 2009

The dark pink one on the left (Resort 2009 Leather Shoulder Tote) most is quite gorgeous in real life. It is fairly large – on my 5′ 2″ frame, it actually felt bulky and the drawstring closure is quite cumbersome as the strap is thick. But it was oh so soft and squishy! I couldn’t help squishing it as I tested it out on my shoulder. It looked like it would serve as a decent pillow in a pinch LOL… The one on the right is erm… eh? at best. The one in the middle is cute but not as interesting as the shoulder tote so I merely gave it a cursory glance.

The large leather shoulder tote does cost RM30XX (I forget the rest once I see a number starting with 3) which I thought it was too highly priced for a Coach. Coach is a pricey brand but its not in luxury range just yet. In the USA its going for US$598 (RM2,133). Still expensive for a Coach bag. At RM3XXX I’d be looking to a higher end brand – I did see a lovely red leather number in Salvatore Ferragamo that was RM25XX after 50% discount but window shopping is about all I do these days. 🙂

Hope everyone has enjoyed your weekend!

    Celine Boogie bag in blue denim looks like what i need and what i don’t have. denim!!! hahahahaha. i think i will have a look at that when i get back after new year. do we have that in our stores here?

    i’ve been looking at Cole Haan bags as well but not woven ones (worrying about how to clean it!!!) :p

    @Karen : I’d like to read about your Tivoli when you get it 🙂

    @Rinnah: Yes, do and its a fantasy list so anything goes!

    @Tine: Sigh… I can’t forget how wonderfully soft and buttery it felt!

    @jojoba : Its an older collection but is already sold out. The Boogie bag is a staple of Celine though so you can take a look at them. I find most Cole Haan boring, except these woven ones which still intrigue me. If you’re looking to stop buying more bags, you’re asking the wrong person! LOL…

    @geekchic: Yep, we are the Chanel 3.142 worshippers, all thisclose to cashing out RM6k or A$3k on a mere bag 😉

    @prettybeautiful: You think so? Its a really nice bag – I test ran it before and it just called out to me. Sigh…

    Hold on to your cash first!.. lol. I was told by the Coach SA that the mid-year sales are usually of better value and have more choices to choose from, especially all the seasonal stuff. This year’s mid-year sales was when i got a gorgeous full leather handbag from Coach.. =) Just thought i should share my little bit of info with you. lol..

    To be very honest i don’t like Coach very much. I only have one Coach bag as i feel it is overpriced and i would rather pay for other brands with a long standing reputation for their name and quality. I mean, if i’m going to spend that kind of money on a bag, i most definitely want one that is worth every cent and that will not devalue as time passes by. hehe…

    I guess maybe that’s why many people like Louis Vuitton because LV never ever have sales and they increase their prices twice a year, so you know that your LV item will only ever go up in value as time goes by and you don’t have to go through the heartache of seeing the item you paid full price for go on sale.. lol

    Anyhoo, that’s just my 2 cents worth.. =)

    Sorry to double post, i forgot to mention that if i have not mistaken, i think the blue denim collection in Celine is going to be replaced with the darker coloured/black denim for all the items, which is why the blue denim items in Celine are on sale now. Anyone who loves the blue denim collection (boogie bags included if i remember correctly) should go check it out before it gets replaced.

    I can’t remember exactly what the Celine SA told me because it was several weeks back and i have goldfish memory.. lol. But if i have not mistaken, i think that should be the right info because i was eye-ing one of the denim bags previously.

    Don’t hammer me if i got it wrong.. lol..

    @Rikairi : Coach makes good leather bags for “throwing around” although the prices here are nuts. So, I don’t buy them here for the simple reason that its so marked up. The sale selection was quite small and yes, the mid year sales are much better with better choices. The Celine classic blue denim boogie is sold out and has been replaced by a dark grey/black denim with slightly different design. I prefer the brighter blue.

    The dark pink one caught my eye too! Funnily enough I visited the Coach site a couple of days ago, and did not see this. I am hopping over now to see if I can drool over it….
    I trust your judgment 🙂

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
