Ah I wish it were mine but its not… yet… I think 😛
I spotted the DKNY large shopper bag in Electric Blue in the display at the entrance to The Gardens so when I could, I popped into the DKNY store to check it out in person. Its a deeper brighter blue than what you see in the picture above and there are 3 different designs using this color. The Medium – Large shopper was the one that really caught my eye – I’m one for medium to large bags because I carry a ton of stuff.
I’ve never owned anything by DKNY nor have I ever been keen, but this one’s really calling me – or maybe the colour is. The fire engine red one is also lovely but it doesn’t tempt me as much. The bag is a soft supple leather with fabric lining (I’m not for the lining because it feels flimsy) but unlike many leather bags, this one does not weigh a ton which is good for me because I already carry a ton of stuff around with me!
There is no zip to the main compartment but that’s never stopped me before. The 4 figure price tag (RM1300+) does make me pause though heh… Perhaps it’ll go on sale… perhaps not. Besides I don’t own an electric blue bag yet 😉
Do you like carrying coloured bags? I love them and own a few striking colours. In fact, I like colours so much, I only have 1 bag in black! How about you?
Stay beautiful,
Paris B

I so like the fire engine red one, but kike you, the price tag puts me off. But may be I could add it to my wish list ;P
ParisB says
Hey Vonvon
To be honest, the pricetag isn’t putting me off – just making me think a few times more before I whip out the plastic 😉
prettybeautiful says
the electric blue looks really nice. hmmmm but if i were to get one, i would prob get the red one. coz…*cough cough*
but i doubt i will have the dilemma of choosing the colors, since 1300+ already made me take 10 steps back!
ParisB says
Hey prettybeautiful
You and your red! LOL… 🙂
Jenn says
The bags are beautiful!!! I would want both!! but the price… OMG!! >.<
ParisB says
Hi Jenn
The red is more vermillion in real life which put me off a bit and the price is also making me think a few times hehe…
Nikki says
I love colored bags! I match them with my outfit 😛 LOL That blue looks so pretty!!!
ParisB says
Hi Nikki
Its gorgeous isn’t it? I don’t match my bags to my outfit – I just make sure they don’t clash 😉

I have a similar blue bag from Boden (www.boden.co.uk) and I love it! I use it to lug things around on holiday and during the warmer months.
I also have a fire engine red bag (from Hidesign) and I love it too!
Also have a dirty pink bag from Mulberry, so yes, I guess I like colors!
ParisB says
Hey Jamilla
You aren’t helping my resistence to this bag! Haha… Coloured bags are awesome and I’ve been looking at Mulberry but they tend to be a bit too heavy for me.
Monstro says
I like coloured bags a lot, but so far have only bought more expensive bags in the classic colours of black and brown! Am afraid I will lose interest too quickly! Having said that, am lovin the blue and red DKNYs you picked out!
ParisB says
Hi Monstro
Most of my more expensive bags are in the more exotic colours LOL… I guess I just like my colours too much 🙂

Hi Paris!
Gonna go off topic here.
I’ve tried the Garnier UV sunscreen, and I must say, my face is less oily than when I used my L’Oreal UV perfect! And my face calmed down a lot [lesser spots]. Plus it’s alcohol and fragrance free… Maybe that’s why my face calmed down.
I actually wanted to try the Eucerin sunscreen, however, we don’t have it here in singapore. Actually, we do have it, but it’s not spf30. It’s spf10.
The only downside is, the Garnier sunscreen leaves a slight whitish cast on my skin like you’ve stated in your review. But it’s not obvious.
ParisB says
Hi Ms. Blacklace
Thanks so much for the report! I’m thinking of trying it – maybe I will one day when I see it on sale 😉
jojoba says
hey i noticed that Coatch also released many bright colours for spring. this blue is good! i MIGHT need it.
Oh I really shouldn’t!!!
ParisB says
Hiya jojoba
Coach’s new colours are really pretty but their designs are so meh. I’m officially so off Coach its not funny. If you get this DKNY do report – I’m still lusting after the colour 😛
Synaesthesia says
I love colors too… now come to think about it, I also only have 1 black bag and others are all in red and brown… yes, it brown bag that I’m using as daily bag because It’s sturdy, big enough for my stuffs and not afraid of dirts… hahahaha.. of course it’s not an expensive bag…
Tine says
I think I too only have one black bag, which is the denim Rootote. The rest are either white, cream, or red. I have way too many red bags 😛
The DKNY bag looks gorgeous. Don’t tempt me laaaarrrrrrrr
