Longchamp Gallery

Fall in love again with Longchamp

Last year or last season, I didn't pay too much attention on Longchamp. At that time I was focusing myself on finding my holy grail bags like Hermes, Chanel, Balenciaga. However my ignorance to Longchamp was soon ended when the SS11 collection emerged in boutiques/online shop or discussed in forums. I simply could not resist the bright spring-summer colours.
So I took the plunge to jump into the Longchamp wagon, and it was unstoppable since then. The photos are quite self-explanatory as they depict my purchases from the SS11 collection.

Now, I am curious on the next season collection. But knowing that it will be FW11 collection which is normally dominated by dark-winter colours, I currently do not expect too much that I will fall again ..... *fingers crossed*

What do I get during Longchamp Sale?

I successfully hauled these babies during Longchamp's end of season sale recently. They are curry and lagoon le pliages, nite planetes and pink darshan.

Aaarrrrrggghhhhh.... It's MINE..... Yay!

Finally, after several days (errg, 2 days) of contemplation, I made a decision to grow my Celine family a little bit faster by adopting this Luggage Shoulder in Tricolor. The bag is made from smooth calfskin and canvas. It is roomy (as roomy as Work) and lightweight and comfy.
Celine has successfully made me addicted to its bags.

The Celine obsession is continued ....



As I am waiting my next Celine bag, i.e. Luggage Shoulder in Tricolor...... Yay!

I adore so much Celine's mini luggage design and its leather. And the mini luggage has been so popular and it becomes the most sought after bag recently. It is very classic yet chic. Ms. Philo also introduces the shoulder version, which looks more casual. The luggage shoulder is not as popular as the mini luggage which I think it's not a surprise. Celine itself was more active in promoting the mini luggage through their ads campaign. I do not think that I have seen the ads featuring shoulder luggage. No wonder that the shoulder version has become under the radar.

To be honest, I initially had a doubt on the shoulder version whether it will be as elegant as the regular version. But hey, I am usually a shoulder-bag person as I don't like to hand carry my bag. For sure this bag will be suitable for my style and I simply need to ignore comments on the facts that it is not as ellegant as the mini luggage. Anyway I will have both styles.... *big grin*


PS. The mini luggage and luggage shoulder somehow reminds me of Hermes' Birkin, where Birkin has the regular one and the shoulder version.

I heart Moozee

Chic Bag Mocca

Shopper Bronze

Zippy Clutch

I have known Moozee since 2-3 years ago when they participated in Inacraft exhibition (forgot the year). As a bag lover, I instantly fell in love with their simple design yet they used beautiful leather in distinguished finish. So the leather spoke for themself. No need fancy ornament. So I bought a cobalt blue hobo bag impusively during the first encounter.
Since then I kept monitoring moozee's collection and there were some seasons that I felt the collection was just not for me. It was collection where the bags were too quirky or to edgy. I like a simple and classic style.

Hence when Moozee has this SS11 collection, I fall in love again. Deeply. The bags are just classic and leather is TDF. So I start dreaming on what bags I should get (more) from this season. (psst, remember that I already got the Chic Bag Red last week). Among their full SS11 collection, these three are on my toplist.

The next thing to do is to find out on where I could get these bags in my city *think and think* Knowing that Moozee is Bandung-based brand, it would not be easy to get one in here *sigh*

Chic Bag Mocca --> I have the one in RED already. Yay!

An ode to the richness of basic earthy tones and texture take spotlight in our spring/summer 2011 collection. Chic bag, the convertible handbags made of genuine cattle hide in three different finish and colors put a new life into a classic shape that will forever make a statement. This one is a vintage. Length 34cm. Width 19cm. Height 22cm. Price 2,000,000.

Shopper Bronze --> I have touched the leather and it was very very soft. TDF it is.

The Shopper tote is constructed of lightweight leather throughout. Just as the season welcomes sunlight, moozee brings out a ray of natural glow to the means of accessorizing with cool reflective surfaces in soft metallic palette. Length 55cm. Width 14cm. Height 34cm. Price 1,250,000

Zippy Clutch --> I think that this will be a chic iPad sleeve

Runway ready ipads. Luxurious, modern and elegant, our clutches bring forward the latest in covering today’s personal technologies fashionably and strut a perfect mix of business and pleasure. Length 31cm. Height 26cm. Price 350,000

I am soooo in love with Celine.... This is proven by the fact that I have acquired 3 Celine bags (and 1 wallet) within ONE month only.
Aren't they so darling? Now I want another Celine Mini Luggage. But, where can I find them further? They are simply so rare.... *sigh*

Celine Mini Luggage Chalk

The bag is made from smooth calfskin and shrunken lambskin. It is soooooo gorgeous. A beautiful colour combination. And the white part is NOT in pure/brilliant white colour. It is light grey-ish white. Hence it is not a boring white.
I got the bag from the local Celine store. Yay!!

Celine Mini Luggage Bi-color

Should I or should I not adopt her? That's the question.
The bag is highly sought after and sold out fast :(

Nowadays I am so drooling over Celine's mini luggage and today I got a phone call from lovely SA Ayu who advised me that she holds an Mini Luggage in this colour.
I am thinking hard whether I should get it or not.
Sigh....

The bag is made from smooth calfskin and shrunken lambskin. Color is camel and chalk (white-ish)
