Balenciaga Brogues

This handbag really caught my attention, and will definitely in my wish list. I love this Balenciaga Brogues, where the palladium plated hardware is fully covered in the soft leather, which makes it look "gigantic". That's why, it was known as "Giant Covered" previously. The Giant Brogues comes in 3 different sizes: Velo, City and Work. My favourite is none other than Brogues City.




The Giant Brogues City:

Perforated leather details • Hand stitched handles • Removable shoulder strap • Top zip closure • Leather covered metal hardware • Front zip pocket • Interior zip pocket with Balenciaga embossed leather label • Leather framed hand mirror •

Chanel Fall-Winter 2011/12 Pre-Collection‏

Chanel Fall Winter 2011/12 Pre-Collection is now ready to view from Chanel website. Why is it known as Evanescent Metamorphoses? I believe Karl is trying to deliver the message that this is indeed a momentary and transient moment. Let's feel the aura!

Hermès Doremi

Hermès Doremi, is a small essential bag for tea session or simple gathering with friends. Comes in 3 colours: Orange, Light pink, and Blue Jean. All are in Taurillon Clemence Leather, Silver and palladium hardware, with zip closure and adjustable strap (18"-25").

Louis Vuitton Mutated Lockit

I'm so sorry, but Marc J, this Fall Winter 2011 Collection is totally out of my mind. Look at this Lockit Pulsion, fully covered with fur, or I should call it wool, looks entirely like a soft toy for my KN. For those who are interested, it comes with 2 sizes. Smaller is Lockit Pulsion, whereas the bigger one is Lockit Voyage.

Hermès Belt Kit 32mm

I love the Hermès Belt-Kit 32mm, particularly with the classic H buckle. The belt is reversible, so it actually gives u full flexibility of 2 colours, suits your mood of the day :)


For the H 5382 buckle, the choices available are brushed silver & palladium plated, silver & palladium plated, brushed gold plated or gold plated. For Idem buckle, the price is slightly higher than ordinary 5382 buckle. Another one, Muse buckle, silver and palladium platted, is cheaper than Idem, but more expensive than 5382.

Little haul in June

Last month, was in Sg for 2 days while doing our transit to Bali vacation. It doesn't really matter whether the GSS is there or not, as we would sweep anything we want regardless the sales. So here's what we got.. Not too much, but satisfying.

Screw you Gucci Paragon!

Yes, read the title - Screw you Gucci! The worst experience I had at Gucci Paragon SG. Thanks to the new SA who knew nothing, and the poor quality control of Gucci. Here goes the story...


HY was looking for an Iphone4 Casing, and managed to hook one at Gucci Paragon. It was the "last piece" displayed in the glass cupboard, as claimed by the SA. After trying on, it seems ok, so HY didn't really mind getting that "one-and-only-one" final piece of stock. But the problem arises... when we reached hotel, HY realised that the casing doesn't come with the slot at the bottom for charging (Please refer to the pic for better explanation).


Gucci Iphone4 Casing without HOLE




The next morning, before we catch our flight to Bali, we hurriedly went back to Paragon to clarify this matter. Though the casing just costs a penny of money, we were extremely pissed off with the incompatible design, and that particular SA. Worse still, when HY tried to make the call, the recipient simply couldn't hear his voice as the mike was blocked by the "hole-less" casing.
The SA went inside, and came out after a few minutes.


"This is the ORIGINAL DESIGN of the casing. And I'm so sorry that we cannot cut the hole for you."

"How am I suppose to plug in the handsfree & charge the phone? You expect me to remove the casing everytime I want to do it? And people simply could not hear my voice!"

"I'm so sorry, I bet you have to. You cannot refund the casing, but we allowed exchange."


I know HY was extremely angry at that moment. So he said forget it, and we left Gucci. After our trip back from Bali, while we transit for a night in SG, so happened that we saw the same casing at Marina Bay Sands Gucci, WITH THE HOLE! And yes, we exchanged for a new one. This issue really puts me in doubt about the quality control of Gucci, and the knowledge level of the SA they hired.
