The smell of mulberry's leather...

Gosh! I believe my shopping appetite has been such uncontrollable lately. I haven't posted something I guess is pretty important in my life=)...ho! I bought a mulbery bag during my shopping trip in Hongkong. And nothing can be more true than what Fashionese said about a new bag!

The smell of the leather, uh...the touch of the leather (it has no inside lining, so you can feel it), and it is also roomy....and I like the colour very much...yes, I prefer light color.

Welcoming my new mulberry in my wardrobe (I used it for 1 week and now it back to wardrobe again, hybernating first, and will use it again some time =) ):

New kipling bag

I got this Kipling bag from fashion bazaar I went to yesterday. It is very lightweight, and this bag is very suitable for travelling, or any other 'casual' trip. Due to the material is 'waterproof' I have no worry in carrying them during travelling, and it's also 'sratch-free'. I was so worry carrying my Mulberry last time in Hongkong, since it was a brand new baby, and I was being like a 'too protective' mom...(see? now you know I even more protective to my Itayashi). Oh ya, the price is 50% less. =)

Almost forgotten, I also got key wallet for only Rp 35 k =) not pictured here...

Chanel boutique to be opened in Grand Indonesia Shopping Town

Wah, first Chanel boutique in Indonesia.

From bisnis indonesia:

Chanel akan buka gerai pertama di Grand Indonesia oleh : Reni Efita Hendry

JAKARTA: Manajemen produk fashion merek terkenal dari Paris, Chanel, optimistis melihat prospek pasar produk itu di Indonesia dengan rencana pembukaan gerai flagship pertama akhir tahun ini di Grand Indonesia Shopping Town.
Selama ini, para pencinta mode Indonesia kelas atas membeli merek tersebut di luar negeri. Melihat animo pencinta mode Indonesia yang suka berbelanja di luar negeri, maka pihak Chanel mulai akhir tahun ini akan mendekatkan dirinya ke konsumen di Indonesia dengan membuka gerai flagship pertama di Jakarta
Untuk membuka gerai tersebut, Chanel bekerjasama dengan mitra lokal PT Prima Utama International, peritel khusus Chanel di Indonesia. Perusahaan yang dipimpin oleh Irwan Murssry itu merupakan cabang dari Time Internasional, peretail terkemuka berbagai merek jam tangan dan produk gaya hidup.
"Saya bangga bekerja sama dengan merek terkenal. Kami sama-sama melihat ke depan," kata Irwan Mussry, President dan CEO Time International, pada acara media briefing Chanel flagship store Grand Indonesia di Ritz Carlton Ballroom 2.
Pada acara tersebut hadir President of Chanel Asia Pacific, Vincent Shaw dan Direktur Pelaksana Chanel South-East Asia, Cho Sung-in.
Menurut Irwan, pihaknya akan melakukan pembelian 5-6 kali per tahun sesuai dengan musim. Chanel Indonesia akan menawarkan produk fashion yang beragam mulai dari pakaian jadi, produk dari bahan kulit, aksesories, sepatu dan arloji.
"Produk yang dijual di sini sama dengan yang di Paris," kata Irwan yang menyatakan pihak Chanel tidak pernah melakukan program sale. (tw)

Another sale...just don't miss it!

Date: 26-30 March 2007
Time: 10 am - 5 pm
Venue: Plaza Bapindo 8th floor - hall E

Edit:

During lunch time, I went there. Tips: after getting out from lift, turn right (in left wing, there is also kiosks, but stuffs are just ordinary). Barang2nya sepertinya sisa sale yang kemarin. Ninewestnya sih ga terlalu bagus, begitu juga sole effect ya. Tapi emang bener murah, tinggal sekitar Rp 300 ribu (dari Rp 900 ribu). Yang mending sih menurut saya cuma tas kiplingnya, disc.50% dari harga. Malah buat dompet kunci 'tinggal' Rp 35 ribu. Baju2 next dewasa dan anak2 juga ga terlalu bagus. MD tinggal kaos2 dan sweater, kaos2nya polos berleher u, bagus sih, tp masih sekitar Rp 14o ribu.

Shopping in Hongkong

I went to Hongkong for 5 days during last long weekend (15-19 March 07)..=) sorry for late posting. First, thanks to fashionese daily for info, i bet she knows everything about fashion in every kind, everywhere in the world :), just name it, she will give you the answer ..

Yang lagi heboh di sana tuh adalah H&M, kind of boutique like, i might say, zara or mango, but this one is from Sweden. The first opening day in Hongkong was in 10 March, my cousin told me that many people were q-ing there since the first 20 people will get shirt (?) with Madonna's signature.

When I was there on Sunday morning, phew, thought this promo has been ended, yet still so many people q-ing, like 50 metres, since the shop was not opened yet (I was there by 10.30 am, but it opens on 11.00 am).

I didn't bring my own camera, stupid me, since i thought i wouldn't go sightseeing on that day.

More or less, it looks like this:

There are also many big ads for H&M in the MTR, so many....in the wall, in the floor, like pictures above.

It has 3 storey, of which first and second floor is for women, second floor is for children, and third floor is for men. Children clothing is not so costly, and the model is good. My husband bought a hat there (like detective hat..haha), and I got a tunic dress (with flower stictching) in off-white, a green knit tunic and bangles.

Cosmetic bazaar .. be there or be sorry...

Been there last year, and everything was just a crazy cheap!

Venue: Gran Melia Hotel - Kuta room

Date & time: March 21 -23 2007 (10 am - 5 pm)

Edit:

I had been there on the second day. Most lancome make-up products were sold out. I got:

Shu uemura lipstick (Rp 125 k), Shu's liquid foundation and Lancome UV.

There are many perfumes such as ralph lauren, and cheap!

Handbag laundry

A question from Yulian, my mailing list friend :


hi lice...ngmg2 soal tas, gw mo nanya, elo tau ga laundry mana yang oke buat nyuci tas? pls info ya, soalnya gw lg pengen nyuci tas nih. tks in advance :)


Thanks for stopping by in my blog Yul :). Gw sih biasanya nyuci tas di 'Jeeves of Belgravia' yang di SCBD dekat Sentra Ponsel di deket BEJ. Kenapa di sana? Karena biasanya di laundry2 biasa mereka ga mau (ga bisa?) menerima cucian yang ada combination leathernya.



Kayaknya itu kejauhan dari rumah loe ya? Ini ada cabangnya yang deket :
Mitra Sunter Boulevard Bl.B/80, tel: 651-3074


Last time gw nyuci tas gw yang hitam, canvas leather combination dgn kulit dan steel, itu sekitar Rp 250,000. Sempet kaget juga sih..hehe..

Ok deh...moga2 tas nya balik kinclong lagi ya bu.. :)
