  • What I Got for My Birthday (Of Course It’s a Bag)

    When I started my bag collection, the plan was to get one bag from every fashion house that I like. So far, that has been the case. I’ve always wanted a Celine box but frankly, I don’t like the bag enough to pay 200K for it. No bag is worth that price, in my opinion. Continue reading

  • Bag Care and Maintenance: How I Clean My Bags

    I haven’t used most of my bags during the quarantine for obvious reasons, I rarely ever go out. Now that the contagion is somewhat contained, we’re starting to see businesses opening up and there are now reasons to go out – although we only do so when absolutely needed. There’s been a lot of construction Continue reading

  • Bag Talk: Mystic or GV3?

    Bag Talk: Mystic or GV3?

    Let’s ignore the apocalyptic crap for a moment and talk about bags, shall we? I will definitely be abstaining from getting a designer bag this year because, hello, baby number 2, but! I can’t seem to get Givenchy bags off my mind, specifically the GV3 and the Mystic bag. Mystic GV3 When worn: I mean, Continue reading

    As promised, here is a review of the Balenciaga Bazar Shopper. I’ve been wearing the bag frequently and I am enjoying the experience. The Bag: Balenciaga Bazar Shopper XS The Balenciaga Bazar Shopper tote was launched in 2016 for the house’s Fall/Winter collection and it certainly perplexed fashionistas because of the inspiration behind the design: Continue reading

  • AuthenticBags4Sale: My Experience Ordering from a Personal Shopper

    AuthenticBags4Sale: My Experience Ordering from a Personal Shopper

    Well that didn’t take long, did it? I mentioned a blog ago that the next bag on my list is the Balenciaga Bazar Shopping Tote in XS. I had a particular colorway in mind but sadly, it’s no longer available anywhere. I wasn’t *actively* searching for the bag but one of the online sellers that Continue reading

  • The Next Bag on My List

    Oh hey! Let’s talk about bags, shall we? I have tons of products to review, I swear but I am so busy all the time, I barely have time for myself. That’s parenthood for ya. Anyhoo, I promised myself that my bag collection will be as diverse as possible. My aim was to get a Continue reading

  • Reveal and Review: YSL Toy Lou Lou

    This came out of nowhere, right? I swore that I won’t get a new bag this year and has stuck to that promise until last week when I saw a good deal and went for it. The timing couldn’t be more inconvenient, but I lusted over this bag for months, so my resolve weakened just Continue reading

With a new bebe on the way, getting a designer bag should be the last thing on my mind but here we are. Not really actively trying to get a bag next year Continue reading

  • Reveal and Review: Prada Galleria Bicolor Citycalf

    Reveal and Review: Prada Galleria Bicolor Citycalf

    As you know, I started my quest of sourcing a Prada Galleria bag a couple of months back and was unsuccessful… at least, initially. I told myself I’d try sourcing the bag again in December. Turns out, I didn’t have to wait too long to get the bag in the style that I want but Continue reading

  • Bag R’ Brand: My Experience Buying from an Online Seller

    Bag R’ Brand: My Experience Buying from an Online Seller

    Buying from online sellers is, no doubt, risky. The worst that could happen is 1) you’d get a fake or 2) you’d come across swindlers. I’ve experienced both that’s why I don’t recommend buying anything pricey online unless you are dealing with a reputable seller. In my case, I only deal with sellers who have a physical Continue reading
